It’s official – Luke Combs has tied Shania Twain’s record for the most weeks atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

Combs’ debut album, This One’s for You, has now spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the chart, tying Twain’s record for her album, Come On Over, Billboard confirms.

Originally released June 24, 2017, a deluxe version of This One’s for You followed in June of 2018.

The album includes five-chart topping singles: “Hurricane,” “When It Rains It Pours,” “One Number Away,” “She Got the Best of Me,” and “Beautiful Crazy.”

The news comes just days before the release of Combs’ much-anticipated new album, What You See Is What You Get. Dropping November 8, the record features a whopping 16 tracks, including collaborations with superstars Brooks & Dunn and Eric Church.

Combs is currently nominated for three CMA Awards: Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year (“Beautiful Crazy”) and Musical Event of the Year (“Brand New Man” with Brooks & Dunn). CMA winners will be crowned during the 53rd Annual CMA Awards, which will be broadcast live on ABC Wednesday, November 13 at 8 pm ET.
