Luke Bryan’s Kill the Lights continues to reign at the top of the country album chart. The collection, featuring his No. 1 song “Kick the Dust Up” and his new hit “Strip It Down,” sold another 54,000 copies last week to hold at No. 1 on the country chart and at No. 2 overall. Kip Moore’s Wild Ones bowed at No. 2 on the country chart with nearly 40,000.
“I think when you hear ‘Kick the Dust Up’ right off the bat, it sets a tone that I’m right here with what I am,” says Luke. “But then when you start getting into ‘Kill the Lights’ and hear that new kind of sound of that song, and then even with some of the other tracks like ‘Fast’ and then even ‘To the Moon and Back,’ those go down that ‘Drink a Beer’ seriousness that I was able to do a little bit on Crash My Party.”
Luke takes his Kick the Dust Up Tour to Darien Lakes, New York for a two-night stand beginning Thursday.

“I want them to be going ‘Oh yeah, this is what we wanted, this is what we expect, this is what – this is kind of what I’m about, but in a different way too. And I think when you hear ‘Kick the Dust Up’ right off the bat, it sets a tone that I’m right here with what I am but then when you start getting into ‘Kill the Lights’ and hear that new kind of sound of that song, and then even with some of the other tracks like ‘Fast’ and then even ‘To the Moon and Back,’ those go down that ‘Drink a Beer’ seriousness that I was able to do a little bit on Crash My Party. And now it worked on Crash My Party, and now I’m confident to do it certainly on this album and more albums to come.”
