COMBS CORRALS A RECORD THIRD DIAMOND SINGLE

Good things come in threes for Luke Combs, who earlier this week became the first artist to have that number of country singles certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Sony Music Nashville surprised Combs at the Grand Ole Opry with diamond plaques for “When It Rains It Pours” and “Hurricane," which join his song "Beautiful Crazy" as having achieved 10 million units certified in the U.S.

Combs also received a platinum plaque for his 2023 album, Gettin' Old, plus quintuple-platinum plaques for the 2019 single "What You See Is What You Get" and his Grammy-nominated cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car."

The artist is winding down his summer roadwork with shows on 8/18 at Country Thunder in Calgary, Alberta, 8/22 in Bangor, Maine, and 8/24 in Dieppe, Nebraska. He can currently be heard on the Post Malone song "Guy for That," which will appear tomorrow on the latter's Mercury Records/REPUBLIC country album, F-1 Trillion.
