Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean Lead CMT Awards Buzz, The Band Perry Also Big

Country music awards telecasts always represent an opportunity for veteran and emerging country acts to become the talk of the entertainment world for a day or two, and this year’s Country Music Television Awards represented no exception. They may not carry the prestige of other awards in the genre, but as a chance to highlight the year in country music videos and feature standout performances, they still get acts on the radar.

Leading the post-show buzz is Luke Bryan, who performed “Country Girl (Shake it for Me)” on the show. As of 2AM Thursday, the country act was still the top-searched term on Google, according to the engine’s Trends website.

Following closely behind at number two on the chart is Jason Aldean, who was joined by Ludacris for a duet of “Dirt Road Anthem.”

The Band Perry and Sugarland always reap the buzz benefits of country music awards shows, and things were no different this time around. Both acts won awards Tuesday; The Band Perry, sitting at fourth, also performed their mash-up of Eminem/Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie” with their own “You Lie,” while fifth-ranked Sugarland performed “Stand Up.”

Also charting post-show are host Kid Rock (#6), Zac Brown Band (#8) and Sheryl Crow (#14).
