Zach Bryan’s fifth studio album, The Great American Bar Scene released today, July 4th, 2024 has surged to No. 1 on Apple Music USA and Canada.
The Great American Bar Scene is Bryan’s first album since his landmark self-titled album, which topped the Billboard charts upon its release last year.
The new album announced earlier this summer is also charting in 16 other countries on Apple Music including No. 4 in the UK.
“Grab your beers through tears and fears, the Great American Bar Scene,” Bryan writes in the album notes.
The singer had previews at 23 bars across the US which started on June 24. In a statement, Bryan wrote that these bars “embody the spirit of American culture” — a spirit celebrated throughout the album.
The album’s first single, “Pink Skies,” arrived May 24 and has already racked up over a hundred million streams on Spotify alone charting in 10 countries on the platform.
Last month, Bryan followed up with the second single, “Purple Gas.”
The 19 track album includes collaborations with Bruce Springsteen (“Sandpaper”), John Mayer (“Better Days”), and John Moreland (“Memphis; The Blues”). Both Springsteen and Mayer joined Bryan during recent live performances, with Mayer describing the experience as “one of the most incredible things I’ve seen in years.
The vinyl version of the album The Great American Bar Scene will be available starting October 10th.
Meanwhile, Bryan is still on the road until December, hitting cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Vancouver, and Brooklyn. Grab tickets here.
