For the 12th week in a row, Morgan Wallen is sitting at #1 with “Last Night” on the chart that logs the most popular song across all genres for the week. As Wallen represents in the #1 spot, Country pal Luke Combs arrived in the #2 spot with his cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.”
Wallen and Luke sitting in the top two spots marks the first time in more than 42 years that songs on Country radio occupy the top two spots simultaneously.
While Combs is on the charts with a cover, it means just as much to him — if not more — to represent one if his musical heroes. “I’ve been playing that song as long as I’ve been playing guitar — which is not terribly long — but I’ve been listening to that song ever since I was 4 or 5 years old,” Luke told Katie Neal ahead of releasing the song.
