Lady A's reign continues on Billboard
On a different chart, Luke Bryan notched his first number one ever with Do I, his publicist announced Monday.
The song is first on the Country Aircheck/MediaBase chart. The video spent 7 consecutive weeks at number 1 on the GAC Top 20 countdown. The song was written by Bryan and Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood.
Earlier this month, Bryan wrapped his first headlining tour, "Doin' My Thing Tour," in his home state of Georgia. During the tour he performed a special show for his hometown of Leesburg, Ga. as well as kicking off his inaugural Farm Tour show in Statesboro, Ga. with more than 8,000 fans attending both. These shows were specially created concerts put together as a way to give back to a charity or organization in local farming communities. These special one-off shows will continue throughout Bryan's career with additional dates already planned for 2010 and will be announced in 2010.
Bryan released his second album, "Doin' My Thing," for Capitol Records Nashville.
In January, Bryan will hit the road again performing his own headline dates as well as guesting on Jason Aldean's Wide Open Tour.

CD reviews for Luke Bryan
If there's one thing Luke Bryan knows how to do, it's to stay in his lane. And why not? It often leads to great chart position. The Deluxe edition of his seventh album "Born Here, Live Here, Die Here" was born out of the pandemic tour stoppage. It includes six new songs and increases the run time to 54 minutes. The original 10 tracks are mostly in the vein of the pop laced chart toppers "One Margarita" and "Knockin' Boots."

After taking in Luke Bryan's "Born Here Live Here Die Here," the listener will never guess this full length was released during a pandemic. Maybe that's a good thing. After all, we might need a diversion from the international health crisis now and then. The release opens with "Knockin' Boots," which is how modern cowboys describe sexual intercourse. A few songs later, Bryan gives us the drinking song (and single) "One Margarita." In between, "What ...
Luke Bryan aims to please often, and that rarely goes unpunished. The Georgia native has a strong voice, some songwriting skill and even legitimate farming cred.
