additional five-year term. Pittman
joined Clear Channel in November
2010 as Chairman of Media and

After only spending nine weeks on MusicRow’s chart, Luke
Bryan’s “Drink A Beer” takes the No.1 spot with 3412 spins.
Earlier this week, the singer announced stadium dates for
2014. Lady Antebellum’s “Compass” lands at No. 2, while
Dierks Bentley’s “I Hold On” climbs to No. 3. Bentley
recently announced dates for his 2014 Riser Tour. Scotty
McCreery’s “See You Tonight” jumps one spot, moving to
No. 4, and Cole Swindell’s “Chillin’ It” loses traction, falling
to No. 5. Rounding out the top ten this week is Danielle
Bradbery’s “The Heart of Dixie” at No. 6, Jason Aldean’s
“When She Says Baby” at No. 7, Craig Morgan’s “Wake Up
Lovin’ You” at No. 8, Josh Thompson’s “Cold Beer With
Your Name On It” at No. 9 and Randy Houser’s “Goodnight
Kiss” at No. 10.
Rascal Flatt’s “Rewind” is the greatest gainer this week,
debuting at No. 41 with an impressive 684 spins. Eric
Church’s “Give Me Back My Hometown” rises to No. 30
with another 556 spins, while Keith Urban’s “Cop Car”
continues to arrest listeners, landing at No. 25 with 472 more
spins. Urban is one of several Country artists slated to
perform at the upcoming Grammy Awards. Finally, Blake
Shelton’s “Doin’ What She Likes” leaps to No. 19 with an
extra 451 spins, and Tim McGraw’s “Looking For That Girl”
debuts at No. 73 with 266 spins. McGraw will visit cities
across the country for his 2014 Sundown Heaven Tour.
Bob Pittman
The company also announced that John Hogan, Chairman
and CEO of Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, is
retiring. He has been awarded the title of Chairman emeritus
of Clear Channel Media and Entertainment.
Clear Channel Media and Entertainment will now report
directly to Pittman and Clear Channel’s President and Chief
Financial Officer, Rich Bressler. William Eccleshare
continues as CEO of Clear Channel Outdoor and reports to

Bryan’s 2013 CMA Awards performance of the song written by
Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton was released as the music video.
Stapleton, Bryan’s Universal Music Group labelmate, played
alongside the Nashville supernova during Country Music’s
Biggest Night.
Released as the third single from Bryan’s blockbuster Crash My
Party album, the song offers a rare glimpse into the heart of the
Capitol Nashville singer—solid and grounded.
NO. 1 SONG
If you think Luke Bryan is only hip shakin’ and partyin’, there’s
a whole ‘nother side he reveals in this week’s MusicRow Chart
No. 1, “Drink A Beer.”
You can’t get much hotter than Luke Bryan right now in Country
Music. As of last week, the singer was No. 1 again on the sales
charts, surpassing 1.5 million units sold.
His recent tour announcement rolled out quicker than expected
when on-sale dates of the first tour leg flew off the shelf. Let’s
just say, be sure to catch a date on this upcoming That’s My
Kinda Night Tour – even if you caught Bryan’s 2013 Spring
Break, Farm Tour, or Dirt Road Diaries tours. This go-around,
you may even catch him in a ballpark, or two.
•••
In November Bryan opened up about the song in interviews with
the national press, revealing it is dedicated to his older brother
Chris and sister Kelly, who passed unexpectedly in 1996 and
2007, respectively.
