Country music superstar and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan was honored today with a celebration for his career milestone of landing 30 #1 singles on country radio. Since his very first #1 single “Do I” landed atop of the charts in December 2009 to his thirtieth in December 2022 with “Country On” Luke has accumulated 56 total weeks at #1.
The evening kicked off with performances and anecdotes by some of Luke’s closest friends much to his surprise in multiple ‘this is your life’ moments.
Hillary Scott and Dave from Lady A performed “Do I”
Dierks Bentley, who went on a hilarious riff comparing their #1 tallies, and sang “Play It Again.”
Marty Raybon of Shenandoah, a long-time musical hero to Luke, who performed “Fast.”
The final surprise performer was good friend Jason Aldean who sang Luke’s “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye.”
After the guest performances Luke generously spent time to highlight many of the people who attended the party thanking them for their part in his career.
He saw familiar faces in the crowd including dozens of songwriters who had written many of the 30 #1 hits, members of the industry including ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC representatives and more who all showed up to celebrate the success of one of country music’s most highly respected and likeable artists.
Luke closed out the performances singing “Country On.”
