Luke Combs makes history this week as the first artist to simultaneously top all five Billboard country charts for multiple weeks. He currently tops Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales.

Luke's massive success comes on the heels of his 2x Platinum single, “Beautiful Crazy,” which remains No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart for the third-straight week and holds strong at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart for the fifth-straight week.

This is his fastest rising single to date and -- here's another record -- it makes Combs the first artist ever to send his first five singles to the top of Billboard ’s Country Airplay chart.

“Beautiful Crazy” is also the first country single shipped to radio already platinum-certified since Taylor Swift’s “Red” in 2013 and has more than 301 million on-demand streams.

Already a winner at the 2019 ACM Awards for New Male Artist, Combs is also nominated for Male Artist of the Year at this year’s awards and will perform during the ceremony on Sunday April 7, which airs live on CBS.
