The Georgia native&rsquo;s third album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart (and No. 2 overall) with 145,000 copies sold. The collection has produced two back-to-back platinum singles &ndash; &ldquo;Country Girl (Shake It For Me)&rdquo; and &ldquo;I Don&rsquo;t Want This Night to End.&rdquo; Luke&rsquo;s current single, &ldquo;Drunk on You,&rdquo; is sitting inside the Top 15 and flying up the country charts. Luke wrote or co-wrote eight of the 13 songs for the record, but says that&rsquo;s a little bit less than his previous two albums. &ldquo;I just try to write the best song and&hellip;so, more and more you know I&rsquo;m weaning myself off my own albums, but it&rsquo;s fun to get great songs from the town, from Nashville and the songwriting community,&rdquo; says Luke. &ldquo;So, as long as I&rsquo;m able to do that and find great songs, I&rsquo;ll always continue to do that. And also, I&rsquo;m going to always work hard to try to put my stamp in the album as a songwriter too, because I feel like that&rsquo;s as important as anything.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Luke recently debuted last month&rsquo;s EP release, &ldquo;Spring Break 4&hellip;Suntan City,&rdquo; in the #2 spot on the Billboard Country Albums chart with sales near 30,000 units in its first week and his fourth annual spring break shows at Spinnaker&rsquo;s in Panama City Beach brought a crowd of 80,000 to the beach. Earlier this month, he performed on the Academy of Country Music Awards and participated in the &ldquo;ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends- In Concert&rdquo; taping, which aired this past Friday, April 13 on the CBS Television Network.<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to headlining his own dates, Luke is currently on the road with Jason Aldean on the 2012 leg of his <em>My Kinda Party Tour<\/em>.&nbsp; For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/e2.ma\/click\/sye3b\/8qbo1b\/k8wxk\"><span style=\"color: #996633;\">www.lukebryan.com<\/span><\/a>.<span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>AUDIO: Luke Bryan talks about writing songs for his albums, including his new album, <em>tailates &amp; tanlines<\/em>.
