AceShowbiz - Luke Bryan closed one chapter of his life with a bang. The country superstar's latest album "Spring Break... Checkin' Out" has landed directly at No. 3 on Billboard 200 and at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart following its release earlier this month.
The project has six songs that are originally featured on Bryan's 2014 EP "Spring Break 6... Like We Ain't Ever". It additionally includes five brand new tracks which the 38-year-old hunk wrote himself.
"Checkin' Out" is the final installment of Bryan's "Spring Break" album series. To celebrate it, he recently played concerts at Spinnaker Beach Club in Panama City Beach, Florida. More than 400,000 fans attended the shows.
"I've been candidly telling everybody the fact that I have somehow negotiated getting to do spring break through my 30s. I feel like I've kind of cheated the odds already," Bryan told CMT of his decision to put an end to his "Spring Break" albums and concert series after seven years. "So it just feels like it's time to move on and maybe hand the baton on to someone else and see where they take it."
After this, Bryan will keep himself busy with his upcoming live gigs. The singer, who's just finished his "That's My Kind of Night" tour, will return to the road starting in May for his "Kick the Dust Up" tour. He has also thought about working on his next full-length.
"I'm always interested in just letting the songs I write take me wherever it goes," he explained. "Upping the ante on everything, trying to be a better singer this time in studio, trying to write better songs and do a few more creative things - that's always been kind of our approach at this. 'Crash My Party' was life-changing for me, and maybe the next one will be the same. We'll see."
