88 thousand fans took home a copy of Luke Bryan’s latest smash hit “Play It Again” and that was enough to make the single the latest Gold-certified hit for the superstar and given that it’s still a young radio hit, he’ll likely see his star rise considerably from it. at #2 is last week’s #1, and a song that also has sold well and features Luke, “This Is How We Roll” from Florida Georgia Line. Brantley Gilbert’s smash hit is at #3. Keith urban remains at #4 with “Cop Car” while “Give Me Back My Hometown” returns to the Top 5 with Eric Church.
