She knocks the dominance from Jason Aldean at the top of the Top 30 Digital Singles chart with the single. Aldean, though, has three singles in the Top 10 and six out of the Top 30. His buddies Florida Georgia Line have 3 tracks in the Top 10 with five tracks inside the Top 30. Aldean holds down the #2 and #4 slots this week with new single "Just Gettin' Started" and "Burnin' It Down" while Florida Georgia Line holds the #3 and #5 slots with "Bumpin' The Night" and "Dirt." Aldean's "Burnin' It Down" is the star's fastest-rising Platinum-certified hit to date. The same can be said about "Dirt" as it'll surpass Platinum this week.
