The recipients of this award include Bryan, the album’s producer, Jeff Stevens, and Capitol Records Nashville.

Bryan joins as the final recipient of the seven all-new ACM Decade Award categories. The ACM Album of the Decade Award recognizes an album that has impacted country music over the decade. The factors considered include success at radio of singles released from album, album concept, commercial media, sales and streaming, artistic merit and ACM Award recognition.

“I’ve worked with Luke for many, many years and have seen first-hand his passion, endless energy and live performances. The Crash My Party album captured his vision and excitement with songs that you can’t get out of your head. We are honored to acknowledge Luke and his team’s accomplishments and career success over the past decade,” said RAC Clark, ACM Interim Executive Director.

Bryan’s four-time Platinum-selling album Crash My Party was released in 2013 and firmly planted his career as a superstar entertainer. Crash My Party was the largest sales debut for a country male artist since 2004, selling nearly 530,000 albums its first week and debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the Country sales chart. The album went on to sell over four million copies and contains six consecutive No. 1 singles, “Crash My Party,” “That’s My Kind of Night,” Drink A Beer,” “Play It Again,” “Roller Coaster,” and “I See You.”
