Combs sets the record straight
This is the longest reign ever for a male artist and second longest for an artist overall following Shania Twain's "Come On Over" in 1997 (50 weeks). "This One's For You" is also the most-streamed country album of 2019 so far.
His latest single, "Beer Never Broke My Heart" is first on both Billboard's Country Airplay chart and the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart. This is Combs' sixth consecutive number one and his fastest rising single to date (13 weeks).
"Beer Never Broke My Heart" is the lead single from Combs' new EP, "The Prequel," which is out now via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville.
Combs will continue his, sold-out "Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour" this fall including newly confirmed stops at San Diego's Pechanga Arena, Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center, San Antonio's AT&T Center, Louisville's KFC Yum! Center, Los Angeles' Greek Theatre (two nights) and Nashville's Bridgestone Arena (two nights).

Luke Combs has gotten a lot of life out of his album "This One's for You," which includes his breakthrough hit "Hurricane," as well as the popular single "When It Rains It Pours." This deluxe edition includes five new tracks, many of which are just as strong as the original 12.
"Houston, We Got a Problem" includes a smart lyric highlighting specific details about that big Texas city. Even though it has all these famous landmarks, it doesn't have ...
Five years ago, when beer-drinking, truck-driving-in-the-country country songs were en vogue, Luke Combs' full-length debut would have fit right in.
