NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jason Aldean’s having a good time lately. He and his buddies Luke Bryan and Eric Church opened the CMA Awards last week with a surprise performance of his new single “The Only Way I Know.” The next morning he woke to discover that he’d sold out more stadium shows.

According to Aldean, “The list of guys in country music who sell out stadiums is pretty short, it’s guys like Chesney and Garth.” Aldean says he’s “not supposed to be on that list.” But he is now. He sold out his first Fenway Park show in a record seven minutes and a second Fenway show along with one at the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium in less than hour. Aldean calls it “a big testament to the hard work” his band and crew put in every night and to the loyalty of country music fans.
