Venture: This One’s For You
It took Luke Combs three different EPs before finally hitting the sweet point of commercial success and reaching the top spots in the Billboard Charts. His third EP, Hurricane, was the catalyst for his recent label deal with Columbia records. Since then, Combs has released a full studio album in 2017 titled This One’s for You that managed to climb to the number one spot.
His first two EPs, The Way She Rides and Can I Get an Outlaw, were not as successful as the releases that followed. Combs has since gone back to his roots in EPs and released a fourth EP just recently this year called The Prequel which sold almost four times better than the previous one which catapulted him to fame.
Jason Aldean
Net Worth: $80 million

Aldean is also the owner of a hunting and fishing gear label named “Buck Commander” that’s based on his likeness and brand.
Aldean was able to organize and invest in this business through the large income he receives from album sales. He’s apparently even more popular than you might think, with his 2010 album My Kinda Party receiving the super rare quadruple-platinum certification by RIAA (which is a super-duper cool certificate). Various of his other albums also reached platinum and double-platinum statuses.

Back in 2008, singer and expert mandolin player Cheyenne Kimball decided to go from solo artist to band member and promptly founded Gloriana, a country group starring Rachel Reinert and brothers Tom Gossin and Mike Gossin.
The band has been well received from the very beginning, winning the American Music Awards' Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Since their strong and critically acclaimed debut, the band's commercial success has been declining quite rapidly, with the first album, “Gloriana,” standing at 235,000 sales, the second, “A Thousand Miles Left Behind” at 118,000, and the third, simply called “Three,” at an estimated 40,000 sales. The group was effectively disbanded after the release of their third album.
