Sony Music Nashville surprised Luke Combs with five new plaques commemorating historic certifications during his fifth anniversary appearance at the Grand Ole Opry last night (Aug. 13).

The presentations included two Diamond certifications for “When It Rains It Pours” and “Hurricane,” solidifying Combs as the first artist to earn three RIAA Diamond-certified country singles, as the tunes join previously Diamond-certified hit “Beautiful Crazy.” “When It Rains It Pours” and “Hurricane” also mark the 10th and 11th country singles to attain Diamond certification.

Additionally, the acclaimed entertainer celebrated the Platinum certification of his 2022 album, Gettin’ Old, as well as the five-time Platinum certification of his 2019 project, What You See Is What You Get, and his Grammy-nominated rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.”
