Written by djfrosty on July 17, 2023
Since notching his first top five Billboard Hot Country Songs hit in 2007 with his debut single, the tongue-in-cheek ode to a strong hangover “All My Friends Say,” Luke Bryan has become a two-time entertainer of the year winner at the Country Music Association awards, and a three-time winner of the accolade at the Academy of Country Music Awards. In 2019, his project Crash My Party was named album of the decade by the Academy of Country Music.
Bryan has earned 12 chart-toppers on the Hot Country Songs chart, and has won five Billboard Music Awards, in addition to being named Billboard’s top country artist of the 2010s.
Since his debut, Bryan, along with several of his pop-country cohorts, ushered in an era of country music that increasingly infused elements of hip-hop, arena rock, R&B and EDM. In addition to his headlining tours, he launched his Farm Tour series to help give back to farmers across the nation, and launched his annual Crash My Playa festivals in Cancun, Mexico. He has also expanded his career into a successful run as a celebrity judge on American Idol and opened his Luke 32 Bridge Food + Drink in downtown Nashville in 2018.

Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower ranks earning less.
