Written by djfrosty on August 9, 2024
Luke Bryan hits the top 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for the 36th time as “Love You, Miss You, Mean It” rises a spot to No. 10 on the Aug. 17-dated survey. It increased by 6% to 16.5 million in audience Aug. 2-8, according to Luminate.
The song — written by Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, and Jordan Minton — is from Bryan’s seven-track set Mind of a Country Boy, which entered Top Country Albums at its No. 31 high in June. A same-named full-length is due Sept. 27.
The Leesburg, Ga., native earns his first Country Airplay top 10 since “But I Got a Beer in My Hand,” which hit No. 4 in December 2023. He scored his 26th and most recent No. 1 as featured on Jordan Davis’ “Buy Dirt,” which reigned for two frames in early 2022.

Bryan is the 12th artist to tally as many as 36 Country Airplay top 10s. George Strait and Kenny Chesney are tied for the most (61 each), followed by Tim McGraw (60).
Currently on tour, Bryan makes his next stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on Aug. 9. He is set to return to ABC’s American Idol in May 2025 with fellow judges Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood (the latter of whom will replace Katy Perry).
‘Bar’ Tab Extended
Shaboozey leads Country Airplay for a third week with “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The multi-genre hit drew 31.2 million audience impressions (down 4%) at the format.
Of the 17 songs to ascend to the list’s apex so far in 2024, the track is the third to dominate for at least three frames, following Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” featuring Morgan Wallen (four), and Sam Hunt’s “Outskirts” (three).
