Luke Combs Is The Highest-Selling Country Artist Of All Time

October 7, 2025 8:00 am Published by

Luke Combs just passed Garth Brooks to become the highest-selling country artist of all time!

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Luke now holds 168 million certified units from sales and streams. That tops Garth’s long-standing record of 162.5 million total.

This makes Luke not just country’s new all-time leader, but also one of the most successful artists across all genres. He’s currently ranked ninth overall.

Luke reacted to the news with genuine disbelief.

“When my team first told me about this, my initial reaction was, ‘Are you sure? There’s no way’ . . . I’m super humbled by the fans’ belief in me and support of my music. This achievement is more so theirs than it is mine.”

Keep in mind, he only got his first gold plaque EIGHT years ago, and he’s already the highest-selling country artist of all time.
