I think if you're as hot as Luke is on the charts right now, you HAVE to push for a sixth and/or seventh number one. Saying you had 5 number one singles off an album is quite a feat, saying you had 6-7 is elite status imo. That's My Kind of a Night peaked at #2 on Billboard, so he'd have to release 2 more singles to break the record, presuming Roller Coaster peaks at #1 (which it should). I thought it got #1 on MB? Admittedly I'm not sure, just assumed for as much as I was hearing it when it released it was a #1. Though, if it didn't I'm glad. Certainly wasn't a song deserving of #1 imo.

I think you're right, it got #1 on Mediabase only, but not on Billboard Airplay. It also was #1 for bazillion weeks on Hot Country Songs. I'm not exactly sure what the official rules are for such a record.

I'm pretty sure that the Hot Country Songs chart has slowly but surely lost all merit to even the labels in Nashville and therefore wouldn't count (hopefully).

So technically we could have two artists (Blake and Luke) both break a record in one year, that hadn't been broken in several years previously?

I'm assuming it's the 5 Billboard number ones from one record which Luke cannot tie Blake and Rodney Crowell with since "Thats My Kind Of Night" was a MB only #1. I was more or less referring to the fact that a MB only #1 goes down in the books as a legit #1 for labels, artists, and songwriters (yet many here prefer Billboard). Luke could still break that specific record if he releases two more from this album and they go to the top (assuming "Roller Coaster" goes #1 of course). Personally I have the feeling that Capitol is debating whether to send a sixth single to country radio. If they do then that would be it because I think the days of more than six singles from albums are over no matter how hot the artist is. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong, but I really believe one more single is all we will see from Crash My Party.

Didn't realize it was Billboard #1's, thought it was airplay #1's. He could still tie it with a 6th single though.

This is the same thing in the Rodney Crowell case (and with Blake Shelton as well). The record in question is 5 Billboard Airplay #1's from a single album. Rodney did it back in the late 80's and Blake did it with his current album: "Sure Be Cool If You Did", "Boys 'Round Here", "Mine Would Be You", "Doin' What She Likes", and "My Eyes" were all Billboard Country Airplay #1's. Brad Paisley sort of did it a few years back but he only did so by re-releasing his 5th Gear album with the 5th and final single being "Waitin' On A Woman". Luke can't tie Blake and Rodney because so far his singles have the following peaks: "Crash My Party" (#1 BB/#1 MB), "That's My Kind Of Night" ( #2 BB/#1 MB), "Drink A Beer" (#1 BB/#1 MB), "Play It Again" (#1 BB/#1 MB), and of course now "Roller Coaster" is still climbing. TMKON was a multi-week #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs but not on their airplay-only chart (again, #2 peak there). Luke came up just short there. Five Mediabase #1's from a single album should happen with "Roller Coaster", but that record isn't quite as hard to do, since Mediabase #1's are easier to get. A few artists have gotten 5 MB #1's from one album in the last few years alone--it's still pretty rare, but not as rare (Carrie did it with Carnival Ride, Aldean did it with My Kinda Party, Taylor did it with Speak Now, I think Tim McGraw did it back in the 90's with Everywhere too).

But could he tie it with a 6th single, or is it that all 5 singles have to go #1? He could tie with a sixth. The record is "How Many Billboard Airplay #1's from an album". If Luke releases seven songs (I seriously doubt that happening, but just for the example's sake), and six go to #1 on Billboard Airplay, then he would have that specific record, even with a song that barely missed the top on BB but went #1 on MB. Would it be a nicer look if all the singles went #1 on Billboard Airplay? - Yes - but it would still count.

Mediabase counts as official airplay #1s.
If Luke gets 6 country airplay #1s on Mediabase, is that a new record?

The record is a Billboard record though, in my mind it would only count if it's achieved on Billboard. As far as Mediabase I believe the record is still 5 anyway, I just don't think mixing charts for achievements works considering their different histories and criteria. But that's just me. :)

The answer would be yes, since 'Everywhere' yielded 5 #1 singles at Radio & Records, including back-to-back #1 singles of the year for 1997 and 1998 with 'It's Your Love' and 'Just to See You Smile', an unprecedented accomplishment to this date.
As I've noted before, 'One Of These Days' and 'I Just Want To Dance With You' actually tied in spins at R&R/Mediabase for the week ending June 6, 1998, but Tim's tune won the Mediabase tiebreaker for the very simple reason that all 207 of R&Rs reporters were playing the song, one more than had King George's tune on their playlist, so Tim topped the chart that week, ending the two-week stay at #1 for 'This Kiss', before Strait's tune rose to #1 @ R&R the following week and spent two weeks in the penthouse.
'Everywhere' would have yielded an astonishing six number one singles if, as a story in the LA Times pointed out in the fall of 1998, a certain country singer hadn't been looking for 'just one more song' to fill out his album, and decided to record a cover version of a recent rock ballad written by the #1 songwriter of the past three decades (Diane Warren) which spent a month at #1 atop the Hot 100 in September of 1998.
That singer turned out to be Mark Chesnutt, and his version of 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' hit #1 in February of 1999, preventing Tim's wonderful 'For A Little While', written by Phil Vassar, from reaching #1.
Tim & George would meet again at the top of the charts four months later in June of 1999, as 'Write This Down' replaced 'Please Remember Me' at #1 in the same week in which R&R switched from ranking songs solely by spins to the installation of their points system.
Hope that helps.

Mediabase counts as official airplay #1s. Yes, we know, but the record in question is 5 Billboard Airplay #1's from a single album, not 5 Mediabase #1's. And if you look just a few posts upthread, I already made mention of 3 albums (Carrie's Carnival Ride, Taylor's Speak Now, and Jason's My Kinda Party) that each produced five #1's. But yes, six #1's, whether on Mediabase or Billboard (but not a mixture of the two charts), would be a new record.

Must be nice to have your fifth single from an album have a 953 spin increase on the rolling chart, be up 3.7 million in audience and be near the cusp of the top 5 in just your 10th week charting.

If Luke Bryan were to release a sixth single from Crash My Party, I think that should be the end of that era and move on to the next CD. After all, Bryan is NOT Shania Twain (as if I need to tell you all that).

I still am doubting whether Capitol will give radio a sixth single, but the argument is obviously there with how incredibly fast these songs are flying up the charts. Luke's only halfway to Shania's mark from Come On Over.

Hey, he's halfway to the quadruple platinum that Mary Chapin Carpenter's Come On Come On hit, and that one had seven singles.

Labels are usually more hesitant now to release more singles from albums compared to back when Shania had Come On Over out. There's much speculation and debate whether Luke will release a sixth single from arguably the hottest album over the past year, let alone a seventh. "Rock This Country" was the 10th single from Come On Over while barely cracking the top 30 on both R&R and Billboard, and Mercury decided to throw another one out there anyway with "I'm Holding On To Love (To Save My Life)". "Roller Coaster" I also think is just a fantastic song for the radio. It doesn't hurt that it fits perfectly with this time of year.

sabre14 I think there's a very good chance Luke releases a sixth and even a seventh single. His album is still selling so well that I would imagine capital would want to sell as many copies as they can.

^ I'm certainly not going to bet against it. I agree with the consensus that if there's an album that's worthy of a sixth or seventh single it's Crash My Party. But something in my gut tells me Capitol is thinking long and hard about if they'd like to continue with more releases. Labels tend to keep a schedule and who's to say that they'd like to have a Q1 album release for Luke's next project and he has actually recorded tracks for that album without word of it getting out. Or perhaps they are hellbent on a debut of a new single at the CMA's or a release date for a lead single the first week of 2015?
Again, that's pure speculation on my part. But it seems like most are preparing for one and/or two more singles from Crash My Party and I'm not sold on that being guaranteed quite yet.

No way they release 2 more singles. There's a chance for one more, but I too doubt we will get another. The charts are so crowded with big names right now that I think there's too much risk in releasing a 6th single, and not enough reward. And just because they don't have a "current" single out, it doesn't mean album sales will suddenly plummet. Both Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Lines recent releases are still selling great, and their last singles peaked in March and May respectively. If they do go sixth single, it's got to be "I See You" IMO. It's one of the only songs left that offers a change of pace. He's released 3 mid-tempos in a row, so I wouldn't see the point in releasing "Dirt Road Diary".

Honestly, if i were in their shoes i would release one more and only because the theme would be perfect for fall. I would release Blood Brothers and hear me out why..with the football season starting up both NFL and College i could see this being an anthem for them. They could play it when going to commercials and i could see it just blowing up from there, plus it is a really good song very catchy and meaningful! What do you guys think, any chance?

^I want "I See You". I don't see it as brow country, because it isn't talking about how great a girl is in her tight jeans so much as it's two people who aren't handling a break up in the most mature way. I love that song, but I do see where you're coming from.

They could release another but then that would probably prevent them from having a fall album release next year.
Everyone has mentioned some great choices, and I think we can agree it's a pretty good CD.
Dirt Road Diary came on my pandora yesterday and I knew the song but for a moment I thought it was from one of Luke's earlier albums. I like the sound of that song a lot.

He's released 3 mid-tempos in a row, so I wouldn't see the point in releasing "Dirt Road Diary". Regardless of how many big names are releasing music right now, I don't see any way a Luke Bryan single could be lost in the shuffle. There are several B-list artists (Jake Owen, Darius Rucker, Chris Young, Joe Nichols) releasing new singles that could take anywhere from 20-30 weeks to climb the chart and of course Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw have got new records impacting this month, but other than those most of the singles at the bottom of the chart are just inching along. The bigger names are actually all toward the top of the chart right now (Florida Georgia Line, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, and thriving newcomers Dustin Lynch, Cole Swindell, and Sam Hunt). There are also some moderately popular artists who are really having trouble to get their singles to climb this time around, such as Eric Church and Zac Brown Band. The point is, no one's really a threat to Luke Bryan. I agree that "I See You" should (and probably will) be the sixth single release. I remember the record selling very well on iTunes when the Crash My Party album was first released. If anyone has the total number of units "I See You" has sold by this point, I'd be delighted to see that figure. I fully expect a sixth single and perhaps a seventh single could even see the light of day. (Pretty sure I remember hearing Luke Bryan say around the time of the CD's release that he had six or seven potential singles, so my guess would be that the record label hopes to really stretch out this album era).

I don't doubt that Luke would probably get into the top 5 with no problem on a 6th single, but I'm just saying because of those big names releasing songs, there would be more risk this time around to throw out a 6th single, and the risk being it might fall short of #1 or #2, but I don't know how concerned Luke and his team are about that. And don't forget, Fla Ga Line, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, and Kenny Chesney are near the top of the chart right now sure, but they're going to be back in it soon when they all release their next singles. But I am hoping "I See You" does get released at the 6th single because it's a great song, and should have been a single over "Play It Again" (Although it's hard to argue that judging by the success of that song).

At this point, a sixth single would be completely logical. His fifth single has raced up the charts like most A-list lead singles (for instance, it's sitting next to "Dirt" right now and they've been on the chart for close to the same amount of time), so a sixth would do just fine. There's really no reason to stop at five given the way things are going, and worst-case scenario I could see would be another #2-peaker, but by no means would the follow-up to "Roller Coaster" not be yet another smash. He's just on fire right now and his album hasn't been out that long (literally just over 1 year), so I'd be surprised if they didn't ride out the end of 2014 and the Crash My Party era with one more single, and then I'd expect him to move on to new music sometime next Spring.

I'm really liking this lately. I actually like it much more then any other singles from this album.
My favorite single of his since "Someone Else Callin' You Baby."

I would not complain if Roller Coaster was the last single off this album, because I was so excited that he at least released that one, but if it is possible I would like to see one more. I have had my heart set on Dirt Road Diary becoming a single since the first day I heard it, because like @nickv1025 said, it reminds me of his older stuff, but I See You has really grown on me, and it could be a possibility since it was in the running for the lead off single with Crash My Party. Other single contenders could be Shut It Down or Beer In The Headlights, because I just saw him in Saratoga a few weeks ago (awesome show by the way) and he performed both songs. Not sure if this means anything for the 6th single, but if it does I hope he chooses Shut It Down and not Beer In The Headlights, because it's a much better song, not bro country, and has become one of my favorites. I will say that the crowd went absolutely crazy when he sang Beer In The Headlights, but then again they did the same thing for every song he sang and every time he moved for that matter. I also like the idea jrekk mentioned and how he could release Blood Brothers and play to the pro/college football crowd and it would definitely be perfect timing if Roller Coaster peaks soon. Hey it works for Kenny Chesney, it could work for Luke too.
