Luke Bryan actually reached the Top 25 on the Streaming Chart with both Crash My Party and That's My Kind Of Night, both of which peaked in the middle teens on Billboard's Hot 100..
The problem for Crash My Party is its best streaming week was the week the CD was released, and the song wound up with negative sales as everyone traded in the song for the full CD at the digital song websites. Had sales stayed steady instead of going negative, the song might have made the Top Ten.
For That's My Kind Of Night, the sales and streaming peaked too far ahead of the airplay at Country radio, which led to that song bouncing between 15 and 20 for about 10 weeks as airplay increased and sales and streaming decreased. With that songs strong sales and streaming numbers, I still cannot figure out why AC, Hot AC, and Pop Top 40 ignored the song. The song would have not seemed that out of place at Alternative Rock either. If any of those formats had given the song some support, which was well-deserved, the song would have made the Top Ten.
Play It Again is one of the most streamed Country songs, but right now the most streamed Country songs just barely crack the Top 50 Streaming Songs Chart, so that does not really mean that much.. Maybe Luke Bryan can put together something special as a video for the song, and he will have a big night at the BBMA. With that combination, he might reach the Top Ten.

Vying to be the biggest Country hit of this year, impressive longevity, it would be for sure Top 10 on Hot 100 if it wasn't for Streaming
