Single has been certified two-times platinum
Reigning two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs’ new live version of Tracy Chapman’s Grammy Award-winning song, “Fast Car,” is out now. The track recorded during Combs’ sold out show at Minneapolis’ US Bank Stadium earlier this spring.
The release continues Combs’ successful run with the single as it was recently certified 2x Platinum (just five months since its release) and has garnered over 435 million global streams to date. “Fast Car” is also currently No. 1 on the Hot AC chart for the second-consecutive week, No. 2 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart and recently spent five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart — Combs’ 16th consecutive No. 1 at country radio and yet another historic feat. With these achievements, “Fast Car” is the first song by a male solo artist to ever top both the Hot AC and Country Airplay charts. Moreover, the single has remained in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the past several weeks and is currently top 10 on the American Top 40 chart as well as No. 1 on the New Zealand Airplay chart and the Australian Hot 100 Radio Airplay chart.
“Fast Car” is from Combs’ new album Gettin’ Old — a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up — which was released earlier this spring via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville.
Known for his electric live shows, Combs is in the midst of his massive World Tour, which runs through this fall including upcoming sold out shows in Australia and Europe. With 44 shows across three continents and 16 countries, the tour is the largest ever for a country artist and has broken records across the globe.
