Spring Break…Here to Party is a compilation album by American country music artist Luke Bryan. It was released on March 5, 2013, by Capitol Nashville.[2] The album is a compilation of songs from Bryan's first four spring break-themed EPs, plus two new songs, "Buzzkill" and "Just a Sip."[3] A music video was filmed for "Buzzkill" though it was never released as a single.[4]

Reception

Critical

[edit]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five, writing that "not one song is undeniable, the kind that works into the subconscious, but that doesn't really matter, as this is just breezy fun, a collection of cheerful drinking songs that never threaten to careen out of control."[1]

Commercial

[edit]

The album sold 150,000 copies in its first week of release, becoming Bryan's first number one album on the Billboard 200 chart.[5] The album has sold 605,000 copies in the US as of May 2015.[6]
