Vince Gill helped make the day of one of his fans, who was crossing off a huge bucket list item when she recently went to his show in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Sarah Darnell, who is 94, traveled from Johnson City, Tennessee with her caregiver Savannah Rushing in order to catch Vince’s concert, where she held up a sign that read, “I’m 94. You’re on my bucket list!” Two songs into the show, security guards gave Sarah quite the upgrade, bringing the pair down to the front of the stage, with Sarah’s poster placed on the stage so Vince could see.

After fans alerted Vince to the sign he told Sarah that she was on his bucket list too, and when she yelled to Vince that she loved him, he replied, “I love you too, darlin’.”

Luke Combs must be getting pretty used to being number one. The singer’s latest single, “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” tops the “Billboard” Country Airplay chart this week, his sixth straight single to reach number one.

The feat now extends Luke’s record for the most career-opening number ones. Back in March he became the first artist to send their first-five singles straight to the top of the chart, when “Beautiful Crazy” spent seven weeks at number one.

But that’s not all. Luke’s debut album “This One’s For You” is spending its 44th week at number one on the Top Country Albums chart, which is the most for any male artist, surpassing Randy Travis’ “Always & Forever” which topped the chart for 43. Overall, Shania Twain is the only artist with more weeks, with “This One’s For You,” which spent 50 weeks on top.
Elsewhere on the chart….

Justin Moore’s latest album “Long Nights and Longnecks” debuts at number two on the Top Country Albums chart.

Carrie Underwood’s “Southbound” is at ten on the Country Airplay chart, her 28th Country Airplay Top Ten hit.
