Luke Combs Keeps His No. 1 Streak Rolling With “Be By You”
By Wade Carter · AI-assisted
Luke Combs has added another big mark to an already sturdy country music run.
According to MusicRow, Combs earned his 23rd consecutive No. 1 track with “Be By You.” That keeps his record intact for the most consecutive No. 1 hits to start a career.
At this point, the phrase “Luke Combs has another No. 1” may sound familiar. Still, this one matters. A streak like this does not happen by accident, and it says plenty about how strongly his music continues to connect at country radio.
Another chart-topper for Combs
“Be By You” was sitting at No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart for the week of MusicRow’s report, published September 15, 2026.
MusicRow also reported that the song was No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for a fourth consecutive week. Four weeks at the top is no small thing, especially when country radio has plenty of artists trying to get a turn in that same spot.
For Combs, “Be By You” is more than just the latest radio success. It is his 27th chart-topping single overall, according to MusicRow.
That number is one of those stats that makes you pause for a second. Then maybe check it again. Then nod, because yes, that is where we are now.
Credit to the songwriters
“Be By You” was written by Dan Alley, Sam Banks and Nick Walsh.
In country music, the people behind the song matter. A singer can bring a track to life, but it still starts with the writing. This latest No. 1 puts those writers right in the middle of a major moment in Combs’ career.
It is also a reminder that a hit record is rarely just one person. The artist’s voice, the song, and the audience all have to meet in the same place. With “Be By You,” that meeting place appears to be right at the top of the chart.
What it means for fans
For Luke Combs fans, this streak is another sign that his songs are still landing in a big way. For country radio listeners, it means “Be By You” is not just another single passing through the playlist. It is part of a run that has become one of the defining chart stories of his career.
Records are fun to talk about, but the bigger deal is simpler: people keep wanting to hear the songs.
Around northern Nevada, Big Country 103.9 listeners know a good country radio run when they hear one.
