Luke Combs is at No. 1 on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart this week with his explosive cover of Tracy Chapman‘s “Fast Car.”
Written solely by Chapman, the singer-songwriter had a huge hit with “Fast Car” in 1989. The tune received three Grammy nominations that year, and won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Combs included his cover of “Fast Car” on his 2023 album Gettin’ Old after years of playing it on the road. It was sent to U.S. Top 40 and Hot AC radio as the second single from the album, marking the first time that Combs has sent a song to contemporary hit radio.
