Dierks Bentley has scored his 10th No. 1 single as “5-1-5-0” tops both the Mediabase/Country Aircheck and Billboard’s country charts this week. “I like it more and more every time I see people out there going cra— you know, sing along to it and do the hand gestures to it. But, you know, I, everything revolves around just, the balance of a set list and a live show and also with radio too, and pushing and pulling,” says Dierks. “It’s just made to drink. It’s not, there’s nothing crazy about it, as far as thinking goes and there’s nothing wrong with that, you know. There’s a lot of songs that got me into country music, like “Chattahoochee,” Alan Jackson. That song wasn’t meant for anything, just to have a good time, and there’s nothing wrong with that every now and then to put a song out like that.”

AUDIO: Dierks Bentley explains that he enjoyed his No. 1 song, “5-1-5-0,” but liked it more and more as he and the fans had fun with it on the road.

Dierks Bentley (5-1-5-0 No. 1) OC: …like that. :39

“I like it more and more every time I see people out there going cra— you know, sing along to it and do the hand gestures to it. But, you know, I, everything revolves around just, the balance of a set list and a live show and also with radio too, and pushing and pulling. You know, a song like ‘Home’ can kinda make your brain work over time a little bit. There’s this pretty heavy song that I’m so proud to have, but it’s really nice to back it up with something that’s just a song that’s made pretty much just to lubricate your throat for cold beer. You know, it’s just made to drink. It’s not, there’s nothing crazy about it, as far as thinking goes and there’s nothing wrong with that, you know. There’s a lot of songs that got me into country music, like “Chattahoochee,” you know, Alan Jackson. That song wasn’t meant for anything, just to have a good time, and there’s nothing wrong with that every now and then to put a song out like that.”
