Luke Bryan claims the #1 spot on the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts this week with “What She Wants Tonight.” The song becomes his 24th career #1 single.

Bryan shared, “I felt the second we wrote this song it was special. I loved every aspect of it from the melody to the lyric. So fun to enjoy this one with Ross (Copperman) and Jon (Nite) and I’ve been wanting to have a big hit with Hillary (Lindsey) for years!"

He added, "This is an uncertain time for our country and I’m thankful to the fans who can find an escape with music. Let’s continue to look out for each other!

“What She Wants Tonight,” Luke’s previous #1 single “Knockin’ Boots,” and “One Margarita” are all from Luke’s forth coming seventh studio album Born Here Live Here Die Here.
