Luke Bryan’s “I Don’t Want This Night to End” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart. Not only does Luke love the story of the song that he co-wrote, but he also really digs the unusual melody of “I Don’t Want This Night to End.” “A buddy of mine kind of said it best. He said, ‘Luke, it sounds, you know, a track, it’s like The Cure or something,’” recalls Luke. “It’s probably the furthest I’ve went from a country-sounding track ever. It’s really not a country track. But then you got my old country voice on it, and that’ll simmer down the most-craziest of tracks.”

• “I Don’t Want This Night to End” is the latest single from Luke’s gold-certified album, tailgates & tanlines.
• He’s out on the My Kinda Party 2012 Tour with his buddy, Jason Aldean. Their next stop is Thursday (February 2nd) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

“I love the melody of [hums], I mean, all that melody is just really kind of cool there. A buddy of mine kind of said it best. He said, ‘Luke, it sounds, you know, a track, it’s like The Cure or something.’ It’s probably the furthest I’ve went from a country-sounding track ever. It’s really not a country track. But then you got my old country voice on it and that’ll simmer down the most craziest of tracks. So it’s fun to have that kind of music behind it.”
