The year-end charts are rolling in and when it comes to jukeboxes across the nation, Luke Bryan and Brantley Gilbert are preferred by bar and restaurant patrons.

Touch Tones is the largest in-venue interactive entertainment platform in North America. Today they released their annual Year-End Music Charts and country music garnered half of the top ten artists played and songs played on jukeboxes across the nation.

Luke Bryan was the most played artist on those jukeboxes. AC/DC and Eric Church followed closely in second and third place respectively. "Since I started my career playing bars across this country, it makes me proud to be TouchTunes' Top Played Artist this year," commented Bryan. "I hope I can continue to make music that makes people want to have fun."

Brantley Gilbert had the most played song with his hit single “Bottoms Up” followed by Katy Perry’s “Dark Hourse” featuring Juicy J and third place was the infectious song from Pharrell Williams “Happy.” When Brantley found out that his song was played the most he said, “It means so much to me that the song resonated with so many people.”

Here are the top ten in both of the Touch Tones Year-End lists:
