Jason Aldean's latest single "Take a Little Ride" is definitely becoming a hot summer hit. The country single released on Monday and hit radio stations the same day. Immediately, it took over iTunes as the top single beating out mega pop stars like Katy Perry and Flo Rida.

"I think this is the first time we've ever put a song up on iTunes the same day we released it to radio. The song's been out a day, and we're sitting at number one on iTunes, which is a big deal," he glowed. "If we can hold that for a few weeks, that would be really nice," Aldean said.

Regarding obtaining number one hits, there is no specific formula. Aldean remains humble and gives credit to all parties involved in the process.

"You never know which song may be your last one. 'Why' was our first number one, and it seemed like it was about three years until we had another. I learned early not to not take them for granted, and just enjoy them. It's always a good thing to show up and celebrate it with the writers, the publishers, producers, and everybody that is involved with it."
