The essential Luke Combs playlist

In 2017, Combs notched his second consecutive #1 with "When It Rains It Pours," the second single from his debut album "This One's For You." It's an inversion of the classic truism about bad luck in which Combs hits the literal lottery, among other feats of luck, after getting dumped. 

The latest in a long line of country songs about ice cold beer, "Beer Never Broke My Heart," is an ode to ol' reliable in a can. It was also a massive hit for Combs, earning a Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America in 2019. 

Heartbreak and hurricanes have a whole lot in common on this 2016 Luke Combs smash. Appearing on his debut album "This One's For You," "Hurricane" was a #1 hit in both the United States and Canada and put country listeners on notice that Luke Combs was poised to become the genre's biggest new star. 

Combs's seriously soulful vocals add a little extra sprinkle of hurt on "She Got The Best Of Me," a break-up song for the ages. It's the kind of track you listen to on repeat when you can't get your ex out of your mind and also helped Combs make history by being the only solo artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era to hit #1 with his first four singles. 

Released in May 2020 in some of the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, "Six Feet Apart" is Combs's deeply personal tribute to what everyone missed out on while isolating at home. From concerts to hugs, it's a touching reminder of an era that had a major impact on all of us. 

Co-written by Combs, "One Number Away" is a song about a problem most of us have experienced once or twice in life: trying to avoid texting our exes in a moment of weakness after a breakup. The song was so relatable, in fact, that it shot to #1 and earned Combs a minor crossover success. 

Appearing on "Reboot," a Brooks & Dunn album that features new takes on some of the duo's most iconic hits, Luke Combs's powerhouse vocals breathed new life into "Brand New Man" nearly 20 years after its initial release in 1991. 

This wildly popular Combs hit debuted at #6 on the Billboard chart without officially being released as a single. It quickly hit #1, and has since been certified Platinum four times by the RIAA, selling more than 600,000 copies. 

Inspired by his own real-life romance with his wife Nicole, "Forever After All" is a testament to the enduring power of love. It was released just two months after he married Nicole in 2020 and was #1 country hit of 2021. It also earned Combs a major crossover success, landing at #18 on the year-end Billboard 100 chart that same year. 

"The Kind of Love We Make" is definitely a song for grown-ups steeped in the passion of a good romance. It's all about a good date night at home, the kind you need after you've been burning the candle at both ends for too long. In the lyrics, Combs suggests lighting some candles, putting on some good tunes, and, well, you know what comes next. 

On this 2021 hit, Combs makes clear that he's not in this for the fame or the money. He'd still be making country music even if he performed for free in a small-town honky-tonk. That might sound a little rich coming from the current reigning star in the genre, but Combs's authentic vibe makes it feel totally believable. 

This Luke Combs hit is a song about a guy who really, really likes beer. It's that simple. It's a song for anyone who's working the 9-to-5 and enjoys kicking back at the end of the day with a cold one. 

Appearing on 2019's "What You See Is What You Get," "Blue Collar Boys" is a pretty self-explanatory ode to those who make a living by getting their hands dirty. We're the white paint peeling off a picket fence, the rust stains covering a Craftsman wrench," he sings. "When the sun's coming up, you can bet we're clocking in." 

Combs enlisted fiddle virtuoso Amanda Shires for "Without You," a stirring song written by the artist as a thank you of sorts to all the friends, fans, and family members who supported him as he rose from a guy playing guitar on now-defunct video app Vine to the biggest country star in the world. 

Arguably two of the brightest stars in the country music universe, Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert came together in 2022 for "Outrunnin' Your Memory." Predictably boasting gorgeous harmonies and a seriously catchy melody, the duet was co-written by Combs and Lambert.
