Backstage Pass With Luke Bryan


Luke Bryan continues his reign as the world's biggest name in country music.

The 39-year-old country superstar just dropped his 5th studio album "Kill The Lights." The album follows up 2013's "Crash My Party" which debuted at No.1 atop both the Billboard 200 Albums and Country Albums charts. The album has sold nearly 2.5 million copies and spawned six No.1 singles, four of which have already been certified platinum -- selling (at least) 1 million copies a piece.

Bryan made his country music debut in 2007, and has since ascended to the top of Nashville's roster of successful entertainers becoming one of the industry's most reputable power players. His clout in the industry and success as an entertainer made him country's top touring act of 2014, bringing in a whopping $63.2 million in tour revenue.

Bryan has enjoyed huge crossover success with the top 40 mainstream audience. Whenever he releases a new song, you can (more than likely!) find it straddling the top 20 songs on iTunes. Since his debut, he has earned twelve No.1 singles, sold nearly 7 million albums with 27 million digital tracks from his four studio albums, and has been named 'Entertainer of the Year' for both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.

In continuation of his super successful discography, Bryan released "Kill The Lights" - a cohesive effort which falls in the similar vein as his previous albums, with arena-size sing-along choruses, hip-hop hooks, "bro country"-leaning lyrics, and pop-country sonic variations. You know what they say ... if it isn't broke, don't fix it. With Bryan's skyrocketed reputation amongst the general public, "Kill The Lights" can expect to see an even greater commercial success than its predecessors.





Bryan celebrated the album's release on GMA this morning with a special performance for the general public and viewers across America.



Yesterday, he shared a special a special acoustic performance and a behind-the-scenes vid to his 4.5 million Twitter followers to ring in the album's release to Apple Music last night at 11pm EST.



The album's 4th track "Home Alone Tonight" features Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild. The band shared a little love for Luke Bryan this morning on Twitter saying, "We R lovin every song on #KillTheLights this morning... esp #HomeAloneTonighthttp://umgn.us/lbktl @LukeBryanOnline."
