Luke Combs has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in country music, becoming the first artist ever to earn three Diamond certifications. The accolade was announced during his fifth anniversary celebration at the Grand Ole Opry on August 13.
Combs’ 2017 debut album, This One’s For You, has now been recognized with Diamond status for three of its singles: “When It Rains It Pours,” “Hurricane,” and the previously certified “Beautiful Crazy.” This prestigious certification, awarded by the RIAA, signifies that each song has sold at least 10 million units, including records, downloads, and streams.
This achievement highlights Combs’ enduring appeal and significant impact on the country music landscape. He joins a select group of artists who have reached Diamond certification, including Lady A, Chris Stapleton, Sam Hunt, Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, Florida Georgia Line, Darius Rucker, Kane Brown, and Brett Young.
