Luke Combs continues to make Billboard chart history this week, as he is the first person to claim the top two slots on the Country Airplay chart without another billed artist since the chart’s launch in 1990.

Combs’ single, “Love You Anyway,” lands atop the chart to mark his 17th consecutive No. 1—another unprecedented feat—while his version of Tracy Chapman‘s Grammy-winning song, “Fast Car,” sits at No. 2, after topping the chart earlier this summer. “Love You Anyway” reaches No. 1 just four weeks after “Fast Car” topped the chart, the fastest return to the top of the chart for an artist with a different song.

“Fast Car” also reached No. 1 on the Hot AC chart, making it the first song by a male solo artist to ever top both the Hot AC and Country charts. The double-Platinum cover is also currently No. 2 on Billboard‘s all-genre Hot 100 chart and has garnered over 512 million global streams to date.

Combs is currently on his headlining “World Tour,” and recently announced 25 stadium dates for his “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour” next year.
