Luke Combs is making history once again, solidifying his place among country music legends. Hot off the heels of a massive 34 new RIAA certifications, Combs has officially become the second-highest selling country artist of all time, sitting right behind the incomparable Garth Brooks. That's a whole lotta hats off to the North Carolina native!
But the accolades don't stop there. In a truly monumental achievement, Luke Combs is now the first country artist ever to boast four separate Diamond-certified songs. His 2018 hit, “She Got The Best of Me,” just joined the elite club today, having sold over 10 million units. This shatters his own record of three Diamond songs, set just last year.
"She Got the Best of Me" now stands proudly alongside "Beautiful Crazy" (14x Diamond), "When It Rains It Pours" (12x Diamond), and "Hurricane" (11x Diamond) as Combs' quartet of multi-platinum juggernauts. It's a testament to his incredible songwriting, powerful vocals, and a connection with fans that clearly translates into staggering sales and streams.
From dive bar stages to sold-out arenas, Luke Combs has captivated the world with his authentic sound and relatable lyrics. These new certifications aren't just numbers; they're a clear indication of his undeniable impact on country music, proving that he's not just a superstar, but a history-maker in the making. Cheers to Luke on this incredible milestone!
