Jason Aldean's controversial "Try That In A Small Town" reaches No. 2 on music charts

Jason Aldean's song "Try That In A Small Town" is No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week – despite not ranking on the chart at all since its May release. The song came under widespread scrutiny earlier this month after Aldean released the music video, which depicts protesters confronting police officers and was pulled from CMT.

"Try That In A Small Town" is now one of the most popular songs, according to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, ranking just under BTS member Jung Kook's "Seven," featuring Latto, which was released on July 14. 

The Aldean song is also No. 2 on the global chart and No. 1 on the country chart and Aldean is ranked No. 3 on the Hot 100 Artists chart.
