Luke Combs’ ‘Going, Going, Gone’ Goes Top 10 on Hot Country Songs Chart
Luke Combs notches his 17th top 10 on Billboard’s streaming-, airplay- and sales-powered Hot Country Songs chart, as “Going, Going, Gone” surges from No. 12 to No. 6 on the Jan. 14-dated survey.
Combs co-authored the song with Ray Fulcher and James McNair.
On Country Airplay, “Going” ranks at its No. 11 high, as it increased by 13% to 15.8 million impressions in the tracking week ending Jan. 5, according to Luminate. It also attracted 10.1 million official streams (up 31%) and sold 2,000 downloads (up 6%) in the U.S. in the tracking week.
“Going” marks Combs’ 17th Hot Country Songs top 10 and his first since “The Kind of Love We Make,” which became his fifth No. 1 when it logged its first of four frames atop the list last July. On Country Airplay, “Love” reached No. 2 in September. Prior to that, Combs achieved a record run of 14 straight career-opening No. 1 singles, dating to his debut hit “Hurricane” in 2017.
“Going” is the third single from Combs’ album Growin’ Up, which opened at No. 1 on Top Country Albums in July.
On Jan. 4, Combs took to social media to announce that he’ll release a new (as yet untitled) LP, sporting 18 songs, March 24.
