Luke Bryan’s Crash My Party remains at the top of the album chart, thwarting John Mayer’s new release, Paradise Valley, which landed at No. 2. Crash My Party sold 159,000 copies this week to remain at No. 1 on both the Country and Billboard 200 albums charts.

Luke’s new offering debuted at No. 1 with more than 527,000 sales last week, making it the third fastest selling album of 2013, behind Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience (968,000) and Jay-Z Magna Carta Holy Grail (528,000).

Luke is currently vaulting up the country charts with his latest single, “That’s My Kind of Night.”

Luke Bryan (hopes for fans for CMP) OC: …my albums. 1:07
“When the fans are listening to the album, I want them to be smiling and getting ready to hear me do them live and be out on the lake jamming to them. And then I want them to be – nothing is more surreal than when a fan comes up to you and says ‘We played your song at a funeral,’ or ‘your song got me and my husband through a tough time and it kind of got us back going.’  So, I just want my fans to live with it and enjoy it and enjoy each track as how it pertains to their life and what they’re dealing with and what they’re not dealing with. The main thing is just get out there and live with it and enjoy it and let them understand that hey they’ve got a voice, and I’m the voice and I’ve been there with them and still there with them in a lot of ways and what I’m trying to record and sing is honest as I can be. No matter how big or small I get as an artist, there’s still an underlying theme of country that I hope it always shines through and is undeniable in my albums.”
