LUKE BRYAN HOLDS STEADY AT NO. 1 FOR A SECOND WEEK IN A ROW.
Artist
Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan continues his reign at the top of both country charts this week with his latest smash, “I See You.” The song is the sixth No. 1 song from his multi-platinum album, Crash My Party.

“What an amazing situation to be in to have six No. 1s off an album. When we got to the fourth No. 1, we kinda started talking about, ‘Well, what if we could get five?’ And then the fifth one happened so fast,” says Luke. “I just have been in the situation to where I’m like, ‘Man! I’m glad when singles can go fast, because that adds to the live show. When people come back to see my show this year that they saw last year, I’ll have four more hits to throw at ‘em, and heck, that’s 20 minutes of new music that they’ll have at the live show.’ So, I love that. You do that for a few years, then you’ve got a lot of variety of hits to throw at people for your live show.”

*Luke is getting ready to hit stores with his latest – and final – Spring Break album, Checkin’ Out, March 10th.
*Luke is nominated for four ACM Awards this year, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year (“Drink a Beer”) and Vocal Event of the Year (“This is How We Roll” with Florida Georgia Line).

Audio / Luke Bryan says with his recent accomplishment – six No. 1 singles from Crash My Party alone -- he always dreamed of having a live show full of hit songs.

“What an amazing situation to be in to have six No. 1s off an album. When we got to the fourth No. 1, we kinda started talking about, ‘Well, what if we could get five?’ And then the fifth one happened so fast. That’s been the most amazing thing about my career on this album is, I just have been in the situation to where I’m like, ‘Man! I’m glad when singles can go fast, because that adds to the live show. When people come back to see my show this year that they saw last year, I’ll have four more hits to throw at ‘em, and heck, that’s 20 minutes of new music that they’ll have at the live show.’ So, I love that. You do that for a few years, then you’ve got a lot of variety of hits to throw at people for your live show. I mean, I remember, ‘Gol, what will life be like when I can do a show full of hits?’ I remember being a kid going to country concerts and every song was a hit from Alan Jackson.I’d be like, ‘Wow! This is awesome. This is awesome. He’s playing hits.’ So, it’s neat to be in that position.”
