One of country music’s hottest acts, Luke Bryan has scored his third consecutive Platinum single with his current Top 5 smash, “Drunk On You,” which has been certified by the RIAA.  The single joins previous Platinum tracks “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” and the two-week No.1 hit “I Don’t Want This Night To End,” both from his Platinum-certified album, Tailgates & Tanlines. Luke is one of only three country artists, including Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift, to have three consecutive Platinum-selling tracks on their current album.
