Luke Bryan recently hit a new milestone in his career with another number one hit with his most recent single, “Country On.” Ultimately, bringing his total of number one tracks to 30. Bryan celebrated the achievement with his team in Las Vegas for his concert residency at Resorts World. Bryan also wrote on social media, “30 #1 songs at country radio is really crazy to hear, I’m blessed to have this career and can’t thank everyone involved enough for supporting my dreams. ‘Hey, hey, USA! We ain’t seen our better days’ is a come together moment. I couldn’t have hand picked a better 30th. Love y’all.”
His latest single was written by Mark Nesler, David Frasier, Mitch Oglesby and Styles Haury, and was produced by Jody Stevens, and Sarah Buxton gave backup vocals. The track released on, July first, 2022.
Although Bryan didn’t write the song he recently had something to say on the topic, stating, “I looked at all my heroes — guys like George Strait and Brooks & Dunn — all of my heroes wrote songs and they found songs, too, Somewhere in Nashville, there’s young songwriters writing right now with a fresh approach and a new way to say stuff. For me, it’s always fun to really open up to the whole town to try to find new songs. The little nuances of production in their demos.”
Bryan’s first number one track brings us back to 2009 with his track, “Do I,” which he wrote along with Lady A’s Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley. He is also expected to release more music in 2023, as well as kicking off his annual Crash My Playa festival in January and will continue his Las Vegas Residency. Bryan will also be judging on a new season of American idol that premieres on February 19th.
