LUKE BRYAN’S ‘ROLLER COASTER’ IS NO. 1. (AUDIO)

Luke Bryan’s “Roller Coaster” climbs to the top of both the Country Aircheck and Billboard country singles charts this week. It marks the fifth No. 1 single from his current album, Crash My Party.

“‘Rollercoaster’ is what I feel like is just…a masterpiece from front to back,” says Luke. “Man it’s powerful! The second I heard it, I knew I was going to cut it. I drove right over to my producer’s house, I said, ‘This is one for the album.’”

Florida Georgia Line’s “Dirt” is No. 2, followed by Jason Aldean’s “Burnin’ It Down” at No. 3.

Luke is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for Crash My Party at this year’s CMA Awards, which will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena at 8pm ET November 5th on ABC.

Luke Bryan (Roller Coaster) OC: …’Rollercoaster.’ :51
“‘Rollercoaster’ is what I feel like is just a dang, just a masterpiece from front to back. It has all the levels of going back to young love and that feeling of sitting on the beach and young love that you lost, that you’ve let slip through your hands. And so many people have done that, and the way they hook it, ‘girl, you’ve got me twisted like an old beach rollercoaster,’ is just when you hear that line snap down in me, it’s just chill bump city, a visual city. You could see them living that scene of having to part ways with one another.  Man it’s powerful! The second I heard it, I knew I was going to cut it. I drove right over to my producer’s house, I said, ‘This is one for the album,’ and we never even once wavered on whether or not to record ‘Rollercoaster.’”
