Luke Combs Lands at No. 1 Spot on Charts with ‘Hurricane’
"To the fans, you loved ‘Hurricane’ first and most - this one’s for ya’ll,” Combs said about the news.
The eye of the storm looks crisp and clear from Luke Combs’ view as he’s found his way to the top spot on the country charts with his single, “Hurricane.”
Not only did Combs earn the No. 1 accolade on the Mediabase and Billboard Country Radio Charts, he did it in record time with 24 weeks at the Mediabase Chart and 30 on the Billboard Country Chart, making him the fastest rising debut artist since 2015. Climbing its way past several summer songs of the season, Combs just feels honored to be surrounded by great company while accomplishing a dream of his.
“It’s surreal to celebrate my first No. 1 down here at the BMI Songwriter’s Festival surrounded by my very own songwriting heroes and friends. Much like the stories of many artists before me, I gambled it all in the name of these songs – dropping out of college to write, playing those songs in three-hour acoustic sets at an empty bar to some rowdy club nights filled with fans and then moving to Nashville to be a part of this incredible songwriting community. Songs carried me here and today is a wild dream come true. To my friends at country radio, thank you for believing and spinning. To the fans, you loved ‘Hurricane’ first and most – this one’s for ya’ll,” Combs said about the news.
The music video for “Hurricane” was also recently recognized by CMT as a nomination in the Breakthrough Video of the Year category at the 2017 CMT Music Awards. Joining Combs for that nod includes stiff competition from Brett Young, Jon Pardi, Kane Brown, Lauren Alaina and RaeLynn.
“Hurricane” is the first single off Combs’ upcoming record, This One’s For You, in which the North Carolina native worked in his home state on. The album is due out on June 2.
