The bar crowd has spoken: Luke Bryan is the undisputed jukebox champion of 2014. TouchTunes, which supplies establishments with digital music machines, announced its most-played artists and songs recently, and the Crash My Party singer is at the top on the list. As Billboard points out, it makes complete sense with tunes like "Play It Again" and "Drink a Beer." AC/DC, Eric Church and Lynyrd Skynyrd were right behind Bryan.
Jason Aldean rounded out the top five for the most-played artist category. Brantley Gilbert took the number one spot for most-played songs with "Bottom's Up." Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" and Pharrell Williams' "Happy" secured the second and third spots respectively. The Iggy Azalea/Charli XCX tune "Fancy" won top-played rap song, The Chainsmokers dominated the electronic category with "#Selfie", and Lorde's "Royals" beat out Buckcherry's "Crazy Bitch" for the top rock spot (yes, the latter is from 2006).
TouchTunes also broke it down regionally. Bryan was the favorite for 20 states on the Eastern side of the country while AC/DC conquered primarily the Northwest. George Strait won over his native Texas, along with Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. And Hawaiians enjoy Santana the most.

Bryan's Crash My Party came out last year, but the country superstar released "Play It Again," "I See You" and "Roller Coaster" in 2014. The album dominated the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts. The artist won Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs this year.
"I feel like there are songs for everybody on the album, from your hardcore country people to your really contemporary country people," Bryan told Radio.com about the album.
