Luke Combs makes history as artist with the most diamond singles

Luke Combs Makes Diamond History

Country music just hit a major milestone, and it’s all thanks to Luke Combs. The hitmaker now holds the crown as the only country artist with four Diamond-certified singles to his name.

It’s a record-breaking moment that puts him in rare company across all genres. Reaching Diamond status isn’t easy, but Combs keeps proving he’s built different.

What Does Diamond Really Mean?

Earning a Diamond certification from the RIAA means a song has hit 10 million certified units in the U.S.—and that’s no small number. It puts artists into a super exclusive club that only a few ever reach.

Back in the day, this meant selling 10 million copies, but streaming changed the game. Now, downloads and plays count toward that total, helping more hits shine like diamonds.

“Beautiful Crazy” Breaks the Diamond Barrier

Luke Combs’ first Diamond-certified hit, “Beautiful Crazy,” reached the milestone in June 2023. This romantic anthem, from his 2017 debut album, dominated country playlists and held the No. 1 spot for 11 weeks straight.

It even won Song of the Year at the 2019 CMAs and became a fan-favorite wedding tune—Combs danced to it at his own! By 2025, it hit 14× Platinum and crossed a billion streams on Spotify, sealing its legendary status.

“Hurricane” Makes a Lasting Impact

“Hurricane” was the storm that launched Luke Combs’ career, crashing onto the scene as his powerful debut single. It soared to No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart and held steady for two weeks, setting the tone for his rise.

In August 2024, it became his second Diamond-certified single—nearly a decade after its release. By June 2025, it passed 11 million units, pushing Combs even further into country music royalty.

“When It Rains It Pours” Strikes Diamond

Luke Combs turned breakup misery into a chart-topping win with this clever hit from his debut album. It became his second No. 1 single, ruling both the Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts with its cheeky charm.

Certified Diamond in August 2024—the same month as “Hurricane”—this track hit 12 million units by mid-2025. With over a billion Spotify streams, Combs showed that even heartbreak can make country history.

His Newest Diamond Hit Shines Bright

The latest to join Luke Combs’ Diamond lineup is none other than “She Got the Best of Me.” What started as a bonus track turned into a fan-favorite anthem that couldn’t be ignored.

It shot straight to No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart, becoming his fourth consecutive chart-topper. By July 2025, it crossed 10 million units, proving once again that Combs gives his all, and fans feel every word.

Diamond News Drops at Bonnaroo

Luke Combs got the surprise of a lifetime while performing at Bonnaroo in June 2025. Mid-set, he was told that “She Got the Best of Me” had officially gone Diamond—his fourth to do so.

The crowd erupted as he soaked in the moment, visibly emotional and proud. It wasn’t just a celebration—it was a career-defining announcement delivered live on stage.

Combs Breaks a Country Music Record

With that fourth Diamond single, Luke Combs hit a milestone no other country artist has reached. He now holds the record as the only one in the genre with four Diamond-certified songs to his name.

That puts him in rare air, even among all-genre heavyweights. It’s a historic achievement that cements Combs as a true modern legend in country music.

Kane Brown’s Double Diamond Moment

Kane Brown is one of the only two country stars with not one, but two Diamond-certified songs to his name. “Heaven,” his 2017 romantic slow jam, hit No. 1 in 2018 and officially went Diamond in December 2023—now sitting at 11× Platinum.

His second came from the fiery duet “What Ifs” with Lauren Alaina, which topped both country charts and lit up the ACM Awards stage. It hit Diamond in February 2025, placing Kane in rare company among country’s biggest hitmakers.

Florida Georgia Line’s Diamond Duo

Florida Georgia Line holds two Diamond-certified hits, and both were total game-changers. Their 2012 debut “Cruise” wasn’t just a song—it was a country revolution that went Diamond in 2016, making history as the first country track to do so.

The momentum kept rolling with “Meant to Be,” their 2017 crossover with Bebe Rexha that dominated charts and shattered streaming records. It hit Diamond by 2020, and by June 2025, it’s 11× Platinum and still one of the most-streamed country songs on Spotify.

Luke Combs Owns Nearly a Third of All Diamond Country Hits

Only 14 country songs have ever reached Diamond status—and four of them belong to Luke Combs. That means he’s behind nearly 30% of all Diamond-certified country tracks in existence.

It’s a mind-blowing stat, especially for someone who dropped his debut album just eight years ago. Combs didn’t just join the club—he’s redefining what it means to be country royalty.

A Big Achievement in a Quiet Year

You’d expect a record-breaking moment like this to come during a major album rollout or headline tour. But 2025 has actually been a pretty quiet year for Luke Combs, with no new singles and fewer public appearances.

Despite the low-key vibe, he’s still made waves at some of the biggest festivals around. From Bonnaroo to Stagecoach, Combs showed up just enough to remind fans—he’s still the king.

What’s Cooking in Luke’s Pot?

Luke Combs may be having a quiet year, but he’s still teasing fans with what’s next. On May 28, he shared a preview of a new track, “My Kinda Saturday Night,” on TikTok, and the buzz kicked in fast.

He’s been dropping unreleased snippets for months, building quiet hype one clip at a time. No official release date yet—but fans can feel a new era simmering just beneath the surface.

Music, Milestones, and Fatherhood

One big reason Luke Combs is keeping things low-key in 2025? He’s focusing on being a dad and spending more time with his growing family at home.

“I want to be home with my kids… I want them to know they’re important to me,” he shared in a recent interview. That balance between chart success and fatherhood is what makes Combs truly stand out.

Why Diamond Songs Are All Post-2012

All 14 Diamond-certified country songs were released after 2012—a clear sign of the streaming era’s influence. As listening habits shifted, newer hits had a better shot at racking up the numbers needed for Diamond status.

This trend isn’t just in country music—pop and rock have seen it too. Even legends like Michael Jackson have earned Diamond honors under the updated rules.

Luke Combs—Built for the Long Haul

With four Diamond-certified singles and more likely on the way, Luke Combs has carved out a legacy most artists only dream of. He’s not just making hits—he’s making history, one record at a time.

And the best part? He’s doing it all while staying true to his roots, his family, and his fans. Whether it’s a heartbreak ballad or a viral teaser, Combs keeps proving he’s country’s unstoppable force.
