Luke Combs Beats Billboard Record Set By Taylor Swift
July 15, 2020 7:25AM CDT
Luke Combs makes history once again this week as the first artist ever to have his first two studio albums spend 25 weeks or more at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The feat breaks Taylor Swift’s previously held record at 24 weeks. The achievement comes as his global No. 1 record, What You See Is What You Get, once again tops the chart this week, while his 2017 debut, This One’s For You, has spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997.
Luke is nominated in three categories at the upcoming 55th ACM Awards: Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for What You See Is What You Get. The ACM Awards will air on CBS on September 16th at 8 p.m. ET.
Luke will return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this Thursday (July 16th) to perform his current single, “Lovin’ On You,” a Top 20 hit and climbing at country radio.
