Luke Bryan Rides the “Waves” to Number-One for the 27th Time

Congrats to Luke Bryan as his song “Waves” lands in the number-one spot this week on the country airplay chart.

Luke shared, “Wow. 27 #1’s is pretty crazy. I can’t thank Country radio and the fans enough for supporting my career. Love y’all”

Talking about “Waves” and the timing of its release, Luke says, “I always love to have a big summer song out there, and ‘Waves’ really checks a lot of those boxes and talks about the love of Summer and being at the beach but I think ‘Waves’ was just a right pick for the right kind of Summer song.” 

While its very much a Luke Bryan hit, he does admit that this was a bit of a different direction for his music, “Well, I mean ‘Waves’ is kind of another level vocally and production-wise it’s not something I’m really I’ve ever done you know.” He adds, “The main thing is…vocally I loved doing something different like that, and production-wise I just thought it was a new sound for me and as long as I can kind of teeter back and forth between a song like ‘Waves’ and then have songs that have more country sounds too, and then experiment. I mean you look at you got ‘One Margarita’ and then you got ‘Waves’ and then you’ve got ‘Down to one’…I mean, all these songs kind, they move back and forth within a framework of what I try to do.”

Congrats to Luke Bryan on his 27th number-one hit “Waves”
