“the most promising and influential new country star of the last five
years”—The New York Times

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Luke Combs’ anticipated new deluxe album, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, is out today on River House Artists/Columbia Nashville. Stream/purchase HERE. The special extended edition features all 18 songs from Combs’ platinum-certified, global No. 1 record, What You See Is What You Get, as well as five new tracks including a collaboration with Amanda Shires.

In celebration of the release, Combs will perform a special livestream concert tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. CT via his Facebook page. Combs’ first full-band performance since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event is free to view with all donations made during the show benefitting The Recording Academy’s MusiCares.

The new deluxe album continues a series of groundbreaking and historic years for Combs, who recently won three awards at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards: Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Country Album (What You See Is What You Get), two awards at the 55th ACM Awards: Album of the Year (What You See Is What You Get) and Male Artist of the Year, and is nominated for six awards at the 54th CMA Awards including Entertainer of the Year.

Continuing his triumphant run at country radio, Combs’ single, “Lovin’ On You,” recently spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on both the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart and the Billboard Country Airplay chart. This is Combs’ ninth-consecutive No. 1 single—a first on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart—as well as his eighth single to spend multiple weeks atop the chart, sixth-consecutive, multi-week No. 1 and fourth single to spend four or more weeks at No. 1. Moreover, his current single, “Better Together,” is at country radio and climbing up the charts week over week.

Combs also recently made history as the first artist ever to have their first two studio albums spend 25 weeks or more at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—breaking Taylor Swift’s previously held record at 24 weeks. The achievement comes as What You See Is What You Get topped the chart for the 25th time earlier this summer, while his 2017 debut, This One’s For You, has spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997.

Additional notable achievements and recognitions:

  • Recent winner of three iHeartRadio Music Awards: Country Artist of the Year, Country Album of the Year (What You See Is What You Get) and Country Song of the Year (“Beautiful Crazy”).
  • What You See Is What You Get enjoyed the largest streaming week ever for a country album with 74 million on-demand streams upon its release in November 2019. It also achieved the biggest first week of album streams ever for a country artist on Apple Music and was the first country album ever to hit No. 1 on the platform’s U.S. overall albums chart, while also setting a new global record for first-week streams for a country album at Spotify and breaking the Amazon Music record for more first-week streams than any other country album debut.
