The singer earned an immediate standing ovation from his peers as he walked up to accept the award from presenter Trisha Yearwood. Aldean mentioned that the award was special since the first concert he ever played as an opening act was with Yearwood.
“I’m really stunned. I don’t know what else to say,” Aldean added. “Three years in a row … Thank you guys for letting me do this another year.”
If Aldean keeps winning, he will be on the verge of making history. Brad Paisley was just presented with a Guinness World Record for his record of five straight wins in this category, and Aldean is now just two wins away from tying him.
Male Vocalist of the Year was an extra-competitive category this year, with six nominees instead of the standard five. Aldean competed for the honor with Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Paisley and Blake Shelton.

Jason Aldean’s “Just Gettin’ Started” claims the #1 spot at country radio. The latest Chris Young and Darius Rucker songs go top 5.
While its airplay total is not the week’s greatest, its Mediabase chart point total is. Jason Aldean’s “Just Gettin’ Started,” therefore, rises to #1 on the official Mediabase country radio chart.
Aldean’s tune seizes the throne from Blake Shelton’s “Lonely Tonight (featuring Ashley Monroe),” which descends to #2 this week.
Despite its deficit in chart points, the Shelton song nonetheless repeats as the format’s most played song this week. It received 7,761 spins during the March 1-7 tracking week, while “Just Gettin’ Started” earned only 7,718.
The Aldean track did, however, reach the format’s largest audience this week. Its weekly impression count of 60.23 million bests the 59.80 million earned by “Lonely Tonight.”
Other top five songs this week: Brett Eldredge’s “Mean to Me” (#3), Chris Young’s “Lonely Eyes” (#4) and Darius Rucker’s “Homegrown Honey” (#5).
“Just Gettin’ Started” is the follow-up to lead “Old Boots, New Dirt” single “Burnin’ it Down.” That, too, hit #1.
