LUKE COMBS BECOMES 21ST CENTURY'S WILLIE NELSON
2/23/24

Luke Combs landed his 18th #1 hit at U.S. country radio earlier this week with “Where The Wild Things Are,” a song from 2023's Gettin’ Old. It follows his previous chart-topper, "Different 'Round Here" f/Riley Green, and marks the first time this century that an artist has replaced themselves with #1 hits on U.S. country radio.

Willie Nelson accomplished this feat twice—once in 1976 and again in 1982—but that was last century. In May 1982 his duet with Waylon Jennings, “Just To Satisfy You,” replaced Nelson's “Always On My Mind." That reminds us, we often wish we could replace ourselves, too.
