Luke Combs has extended his record-setting run at country radio, with "Be By You" becoming his 23rd consecutive solo single to reach No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart, according to reports from Big Country News and KECO 96.5FM.

The achievement continues his record for the most consecutive No. 1 singles by an artist at the beginning of a career.

The song, written by Dan Alley, Sam Banks and Nick Walsh, previously reached No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart in August, which at that time marked Combs' 21st leader on that ranking. When collaborations are included, the song also gives Combs his 27th No. 1 overall.

What makes the milestone remarkable is not just the total but the consistency: no other artist in the chart's history has opened a career with this many straight No. 1 singles, a point both outlets emphasize in framing the story.

Country radio is famously resistant to repetition, and even superstar acts typically see a single miss the top before long. For Combs, every solo release so far has landed at the top of the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart, a run that now stretches across 23 singles.

As Big Country News and KECO 96.5FM both report, "Be By You" adds a radio-chart crown on top of its earlier Billboard Country Airplay No. 1, giving the song a double-chart achievement in the same year.

The milestone caps what both outlets describe as a strong year for Combs.

His album "The Way I Am" debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and he received three nominations for the 60th annual CMA Awards: Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for "The Way I Am."

According to the outlets' reports, the CMA nods put Combs in contention for some of the genre's biggest honors in the same stretch that his radio streak reached 23.

Combs is set to continue his "My Kinda Saturday Night Tour" in 2027, with stadium dates scheduled across the United States and Canada, per the reports from both outlets.

The tour follows a 2026 run that included sold-out performances at venues including London's Wembley Stadium and Ireland's Slane Castle — an international reach the outlets highlight as context for the radio milestone.

With "Be By You" still riding both charts, the question for fans is less whether the next single will hit No. 1 than how far the record can ultimately go.
