Artists of the Year - Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan

The amazing success with Tailgates and Tanlines in 2012 for Luke Bryan was just the beginning. He is on a roll and there is no stopping him!

He started off 2013 by releasing his latest collection of Spring Break music and it shot to #1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.

He then not only hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards in April, but he walked away with the biggest award of the night!!! He was named the ACM Entertainer of the Year!! His emotional and heartfelt acceptance speech only reinforced that he is the coolest and nicest guy in the business.

Even though his albums Tailgates and Tanlines and Spring Break were still selling well, he released another new collection in 2013 called Crash My Party. The lead off single and title track became an immediate hit and it is a favorite for dancing a shadow. The second single, That's My Kind Of Night, completely secures his position as the go to man for a fun country party jam. On the year end Billboard Country Albums chart he ended up taking THREE positions in the top 10 with Crash My Party at #3, Tailgates and Tanlines at #8 and Spring Break at #10.

He once again won the American Music Award for Favorite Country Male Artist as well as being named a CMT Artist of the Year for the second time. In addition, he completely cleaned up again at the American Country Awards winning Artist of the Year.
