Luke Combs is undeniably “Back in the Saddle” with his latest single, which has quickly climbed to the top of both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts. This marks Combs’ 19th #1 hit on the Billboard Country chart, a remarkable achievement that further solidifies his standing as one of the genre’s most dominant forces.

Since his debut with the smash hit “Hurricane” in May 2017, Combs has steadily racked up chart-topping singles, all of which he co-wrote with the exception of his 2023 cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” With Back in the Saddle, it only took 13 weeks for the song to reach the #1 spot, a testament to its widespread popularity and the connection Combs continues to have with country music fans.

Back in the Saddle serves as the lead single for Combs’ upcoming sixth studio album, which is expected to drop in early 2026. Fans are eagerly anticipating the full album, especially after the success of this single. The track showcases Combs’ signature sound—mixing raw country with contemporary elements—while the lyricism continues to resonate deeply with his ever-growing fanbase.

As Combs prepares for the release of his new album, Back in the Saddle proves that he’s not only back in the game but also continuing to redefine country music, making it clear that his reign at the top is far from over. With every new release, he cements his place as one of country music’s brightest stars.
