LUKE COMBS IS ‘BACK IN THE SADDLE’ ATOP COUNTRY AIRPLAY CHART FOR 19TH NO. 1 HIT

BILLBOARD – Luke Combs earns his 19th No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Back in the Saddle” gallops three spots on the ranking dated Nov. 1, up 23% to 30.8 million audience impressions Oct. 17-23, according to Luminate.

The single is expected to appear on Combs’ sixth studio album, due in early 2026. His latest leader extends one of the most consistent radio runs in recent history – dating to his first week at No. 1 in May 2017, with “Hurricane” he and Morgan Wallen are tied for the most Country Airplay leaders.

“Back in the Saddle” is also Combs’ 18th Country Airplay No. 1 as a co-writer and eighth as a co-producer. (His only leader as a recording artist that he didn’t write: his 2023 cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.”)
