Luke Combs just made chart history. In the 56 years of “Billboard’s” Top Country Albums chart, no artist has ever had their first two studio albums spend 25 or more weeks on top until now.

This week, Luke’s sophomore album “What You See Is What You Get” is at number one for its 25th week. Meanwhile, his debut album, “This One’s For You,” spent a whopping 50 weeks at number one.

Not only that, only three other artists have had any two albums spend that many weeks at number one. They include: Alabama, whose second and third albums, 1981’s “Feel So Right” and 1982’s “Mountain Music,” spent 28 weeks at number one; Garth Brooks whose 1990 album “No Fences” spent 41 weeks on top and 1991’s “Ropin’ The Wind” spent 33 and Shania Twain, whose 1995 album “The Woman in Me” spent 29 weeks at number one, and 1997’s “Come On Over” spent 50.
