Luke Combs' 'Be By You' has climbed to the top of the Country Airplay chart with 32.8 million listener impressions, securing his twenty-first number-one radio hit. The achievement places him alongside Thomas Rhett and Keith Urban in an elite bracket of country artists, sitting within an even smaller circle of eleven acts to reach that milestone since the chart's 1990 debut.

What distinguishes this chart victory is its rarity in Combs' catalogue: he did not write the track, making it only the third of his twenty-one radio number-ones composed by someone else. His previous non-written hits included his collaboration with Jameson Rodgers on 'Cold Beer Calling My Name' and his cover of Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car.' The song has maintained commercial momentum since its February release, holding a top-ten position for half a year with strong streaming and airplay metrics.
