LUKE BRYAN HITS THE TOP OF THE COUNTRY CHARTS WITH ‘MOVE.’
Artist
Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan’s “Move” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard country chart and moves to the top of Country Aircheck’s chart this week. It follows “Kick the Dust Up,” “Strip It Down,” “Home Alone Tonight” and “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day.”

Reportedly, Luke created a new record on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. “Move” is the fifth chart-topper from his Kill the Lights album, which is big news in itself, but it’s the second time he’s scored five No. 1s on the country charts from the same album, which has never happened before (his previous handful came from Crash My Party with the title track, “Drink a Beer,” “Play It Again,” “Roller Coaster” and “I See You.”

The Georgia native wrote the song with Michael Carter and Jay Clementi “about a girl that moves to the south…and then she gets in with these kind of rebel crowd girls and they teach her how to let her hair down.” Luke was hoping it would be a great song to perform live, which it has on his Kill the Lights Tour. “‘Move’ is all the fun you could want to have in a song in my opinion,” says Luke. “It’s what I envision, big ole country dance clubs across the country playing that and it filling up and everybody having a great time.”

Luke is nominated for two American Music Awards, including Favorite Male Artist-Country and Favorite Album-Country for Kill the Lights. For more information, go to AMA.com.

Luke Bryan (Move) OC: …off on it. :38
“‘Move’ is all the fun you could want to have in a song in my opinion. It’s what I envision, big ole country dance clubs across the country playing that and it filling up and everybody having a great time. And when you talk about there’s a little inside story about a girl that moves to the south and she’s kind of shy and then she gets in with these kind of rebel crowd girls and they teach her how to let her hair down and all that, it’s pretty fun. A lot of imagery in that. Kind of a cool picture painted in that, and [I’m] really proud that I got to write that song with Michael Carter and Jay Clementi. We worked out butt off on it.”
