Luke Bryan has scored his 30th number-one country song on country radio with "Country On" and his record label threw a big party for him in Nashville this week to celebrate.

Luke posted several images of the party to Instagram, including the last photo of a special cake his record label made for him that reads: "Congratulations on Your 30th Number One!" He captioned the photo dump, "30 #1 songs at country radio is really crazy to hear. I'm blessed to have this career, and can't thank everyone involved enough for supporting my dreams. 'Hey, hey, USA! We ain't seen our better days' is a come-together moment. I couldn't have hand-picked a better 30th. Love y'all."

Several fans and friends responded to the post, including one fan who wrote, "Congrats! Just saw you put in an amazing show in West Palm Beach, then turned on the TV and watched you the next day on College Gameday. Keep doing that work! We love ya! Happy Holidays to you and the family!" Another fan commented, "It's because ur AWESOME and such a wonderful person too. Your concert in Vegas was so amazing we are coming back on March 29th. Can't wait! Congratulations." One more fan said, "So proud of you!!"

A few days back, Bryan posted to Instagram some photos from his Las Vegas residency that wrapped as Resorts World over the weekend. He wrote, along with images of him on stage after his final show, "I officially survived my first year in Las Vegas. What a time. Now for a little time off. See y'all in 2023!"

Many fans responded to the post, including one who wrote, "Best concert at the best venue. We will be back to see u on March 29th. Merry Christmas." Another fan said, "Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year with your family, Luke."
