Luke Bryan is capping off his 2019 and 10 years of his career by Country Aircheck naming him the Most-Heard Artist of the Decade. Bryan will be the subject of Aircheck’s The Interview feature in the year-end print issue.

Luke told Country Aircheck, “I love being the guy a lot of people count on. I don’t wake up with anxiety about it. I wake up going, all right, let’s get after it and show the world what we’re going to do this year or this week.”

Bryan was also the first-ever recipient of the ACM’s Album of the Decade Award for Crash My Party.

22 of Bryan’s 23 #1 hits have been in the last decade and in this past decade Luke has presented ten Farm Tours (11 years career total), seven headline tours, six years of Spring Break shows and six Crash My Playa concert events.

He was recognized as a CMT Artist of the Year six consecutive times, was twice named the Entertainer of the Year by both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association and was honored as a NSAI Artist/Songwriter of the Year.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
