My Kinda Party - licensed original program
The licensed 2010 program, visible album date and original track metadata identify the selected recording and its album association. Individual earlier recording dates are considered separately; a later expanded edition is not treated as the first release of older tracks. | Reviewed 2026-10-18

Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The selected 2010 solo album recording and the officially released 2011 Ludacris remix are distinct vocal editions. The actual 2011 retained annual entry names only Jason Aldean and does not resolve its version. The association stays provisional rather than treating the original as a new Beyond discovery.

About Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean is a country singer from Macon, Georgia, whose recordings combine prominent rock guitars with country melodies and touches of hip-hop rhythm. His long working relationship with producer Michael Knox continued on his eighth studio album, Rearview Town. That record includes You Make It Easy and places quieter country settings beside songs designed for large concert spaces. The range reflects a recording and performing style that moves between intimate vocal material and the guitar-driven scale of his stadium shows.
