Luke Combs Reaches Another Historic Billboard Chart Milestone

Luke Combs Reaches Another Historic Billboard Chart Milestone

Luke Combs’ four year-career on the charts has been nothing short of amazing. It’s also been historic.

Luke’s latest accomplishment? Luke is the first artist in country music history to have his first two albums—This One’s for You and What You See Is What You Get—spend at least 25 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

Luke’s 2017 debut album, This One’s for You, has spent 50 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, tying him with Shania Twain’s Come On Over for the all-time record of most weeks at No. 1.

Luke’s 2019 sophomore album, What You See Is What You Get, has spent 25 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

In addition, Luke is the first country artist in history whose first eight singles have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart: “Hurricane,” “When It Rains It Pours,” “One Number Away,” “She Got the Best of Me,” “Beautiful Crazy,” “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” “Even Though I’m Leaving” and “Does to Me.”

Of Luke’s eight No. 1 hits on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, seven have had multi-week runs at No. 1. Luke’s 2018 No. 1 hit, “One Number Away,” ruled the chart for one week, while “Beautiful Crazy” reigned for seven weeks in 2019.

Collectively, Luke’s eight singles have spent 25 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

  • “Hurricane” – 2 weeks at No. 1 (May/June 2017)
  • “When It Rains It Pours” — 2 weeks at No. 1 (November 2017)
  • “One Number Away” — 1 week at No. 1 (June 2018)
  • “She Got the Best of Me” — 4 weeks at No. 1 (October/November 2018)
  • “Beautiful Crazy” — 7 weeks at No. 1 (March/April 2019)
  • “Beer Never Broke My Heart” — 2 weeks at No. 1 (August 2019)
  • “Even Though I’m Leaving” — 5 weeks at No. 1 (November/December 2019/January 2020)
  • “Does to Me” — 2 weeks at No. 1 (May/June 2020)
