Luke Combs hinted back at the ACM Awards that he had some pop leanings – duetting with Ed Sheeran live on “Life Goes On.”

So it was only mildly surprising that the country superstar dropped his own rendition of the 1988 Tracy Chapman pop hit, “Fast Car.” What’s more surprising is, not only is it the fastest-rising song of his country career – it’s also hit #4 on the pop charts.

The interesting thing about this? Luke’s version has outperformed Tracy’s original, at least in chart performance. Tracy’s version peaked at #6 on the pop charts; Luke’s cover version has now reached #4.
