How big a hit is “Try That in a Small Town” really? Take a look at Trump’s own chart-topper.
“Try That in a Small Town” seals the deal. The song appeared back in May as a standalone single and was embraced by country radio like any Aldean single, debuting in the middle of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. “Small Town” was not penned by Aldean himself. It’s the handiwork of four Nashville journeymen including Kelley Lovelace, who’s written scores of country hits—including, funnily enough, Brad Paisley’s pro-diversity anthem “.
At first, even with lyrics as incendiary as “You cross that line, it won’t take long for you to find out—I recommend you don’t” and “Got a gun that my granddad gave me, they say one day they’re gonna round up,” the song attracted little attention outside of country circles. And not all that much even there: To this day, “Small Town” still hasn’t risen on Country Airplay above its initial No. 24 debut. It was only when the music video materialized in mid-July that all hell broke loose.
