LUKE COMBS’ WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET DEBUTS AT NO. 1 ON BILLBOARD 200 WITH RECORD-SETTING WEEK

Luke Combs’ What You See Is What You Get debuts this week at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart as well as Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with 172,000 equivalent units sold. It is also a global No. 1 album, topping charts in Canada, Australia and the U.K. Out now via River House Artists/ Columbia Nashville (stream/purchase here ), the record enjoyed the largest streaming week ever for a country album with 74 million on-demand streams. It also achieved the biggest first week of album streams for a country artist ever on Apple Music within its first two days of release 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 the Amazon Music record for more first-week streams than any other country album debut.

Additionally, Combs’ current single, “Even Though I’m Leaving,” is the No. 1 song on Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts this week making it his seventh-consecutive No. 1 single and extending his record-breaking streak at country radio.

These achievements add to a triumphant year for Combs, who won two awards last week at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards: Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year (“Beautiful Crazy”). He also performed his No. 1 single “Beer Never Broke My Heart” during the live broadcast. Watch the performance HERE.

Produced by Scott Moffatt, What You See Is What You Get features 17 songs including the five tracks previously released via The Prequel EP earlier this summer. The EP debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with all five tracks charting on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Top 25—a feat not accomplished by any artist in 60 years since Johnny Cash in 1959. Additionally, The Prequel’s lead single, “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” recently reached No. 1 on both Billboard’s Country Airplay and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts.

In celebration of the release, Combs is set to headline his first ever stadium show at Appalachian State University’s Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, NC on May 2, 2020. The sold-out stadium show is part of Combs’ newly confirmed “What You See Is What You Get Tour.” The 2020 run continues Combs’ historic success on the road with all ten of the first concerts selling out immediately after going on-sale

Continuing his historic year, Combs’ double Platinum debut album This One’s For You recently spent its 50th non-consecutive week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997. This One’s For You is also the most-streamed country album of 2019 so far.

RYAN HURD ANNOUNCES HEADLINING “PLATONIC TOUR” IN 2020

RCA Records Nashville breakout artist/songwriter Ryan Hurd is headlining a string of concert dates in 2020. Tickets for the “Platonic Tour,” featuring rising talent Adam Doleac and Niko Moon on select dates, go on sale Friday, Nov. 22. Information HERE

Fresh from opening for Old Dominion’s “Make It Sweet Tour” this fall, Hurd’s full-band show is headed to some of the country’s most respected music rooms for a repeat of the sold-out success of his debut “To A Tour,” which sold out venues in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nashville earlier this year. 

Hurd hand-picked venues that created the right feel for his trademark tender lyrics and provocative melodies woven around real-world emotions. By following his inner voice, he’s become a Next Big Thing contender, lauded by the likes of Rolling Stone, Pandora, VEVO, CMTMaxim, and Esquire. And performing live has been a natural extension of his impressive rise.  

Touring mainstay Pollstar singled Hurd out as “A new guard introspecter of the human heart.” 

Hurd has balanced his budding recording career with a songwriting portfolio that includes hits by Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, and Lady Antebellum. With more than 220 million worldwide career streams, his latest release, Platonic EP, and the “Platonic Tour” are the obvious evolution from performing songwriter to full-fledged artist.  

“Ryan Hurd has gone from Nashville’s best-kept-secret to one of its most promising rising stars,” saidPeople

The praise is earned. Hurd was named the only country artist on Sirius XM’s all-genre “Future Five” for 2019. He was tapped by AOL as one of their country artists set for a breakout year, Amazon Music’s Best of 2018, and 2019’s “Next Big Names” by Cowboys & Indians, which said, “His Lyrics can be hopelessly romantic, quietly edgy, effortlessly sexy as well, or all of the above.” 

The “Platonic Tour” follows the success of Hurd’s latest radio climber, the Gold “To A T,” which has already reached No. 1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown.
