Bryan is currently on tour through the fall
Five-time Entertainer of the Year and country music superstar Luke Bryan landed the 27th No. 1 single of his career as “Waves” ripples to the top of the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts. The song was written by Zach Crowell, Ryan Hurd and Chase McGill and is the fifth No. 1 single off his latest Born Here Live Here Die Here album.
“It’s crazy to know we are five singles deep off the Born Here Live Here Die Here album,” Bryan shares. “The longevity that country radio and my fans have given my career truly means a lot. I have never taken for granted that I get to make my living doing something that makes me so happy. Thank you for this #1 and loving a song about summer love!”
“Waves” debuted at country radio in April as the most added song in the nation and Bryan performed it for the first time on television on Good Morning America to promote the release of the deluxe edition of the project. Combined, those projects boast five No. 1 singles: “Waves,” “Down To One,” “One Margarita,” “What She Wants Tonight,” and “Knockin’ Boots.”
The album originally debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart last summer, making it Bryan’s sixth consecutive appearance in the top position. The album became his eleventh top 10 album on Billboard’s Top 200 since his first appearance with 2009’s Doin’ My Thing.
Bryan’s Proud To Be Right Here Tour, named after a line in the album’s title track, is scheduled through the fall.
Airing now, fans can see Bryan’s original five-part docu-series Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary, on IMDb TV, Amazon’s premium free streaming service. It features a new song Bryan co-wrote with Luke Laird and Josh Osborne, “Songs You Never Heard,” in honor of his late brother Chris, who was always his biggest supporter of chasing his musical dreams.
