Luke Combs is adding to his already impressive list of career accomplishments, with his latest single, “Be By You,” reaching new major milestones at country radio.

“Be By You” also earns Combs his 27th No. 1 single overall, including his collaborations with artists such as Post Malone, Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green and Jameson Rodgers. Plus, the heartfelt tune is making a strong impact on Billboard, where it currently sits at No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart for a fourth consecutive week. This news means that Combs has tied the record for having the most songs to spend four weeks at No. 1 on the chart so far this decade.

These accomplishments add to an already massive year for the 11-time CMA Award winner. Last week, fans learned that Luke Combs earned nominations for three CMA awards ahead of the 60th Annual event. He is vying for a win in the categories ofEntertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for The Way I Am.

The success at country radio comes as Combs prepares to continue his “My Kinda Saturday Night Tour” next spring. The extensive trek includes sold-out stadium shows at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium and San Diego’s Petco Park.

Launching in April and running through June 2027, the tour will also make stops at major venues including Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium, Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High and Detroit’s Ford Field. The in-the-round shows will feature special guests Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin.

Tickets for the trek are on-sale now with an average ticket price of $130. Full details can be found at www.lukecombs.com/tour
