Today, streaming is the dominant way people consume music. Platforms provide insights into total streams, monthly listeners, follower growth, listener demographics, and real-time track performance. These metrics can really reveal how a song is performing.

Some songs rise through the rankings even though they haven't performed as well commercially. "Refrigerator Door" is often described as Combs' most underrated track. "Without You" ranked as high as No. 15 and is celebrated as "a love letter to everyone who made Luke Combs the superstar he is today."

Other deep cuts include "Tomorrow Me," "Tattoo on a Sunburn," "The Way She Rides," and "Moon Over Mexico." These songs are regularly mentioned by fans preparing for "deep cuts only" concerts and speak to Combs' ability to connect with listeners on a personal, almost confessional level.

Luke Combs' cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" was a crossover sensation. Not only did it peak at No. 9 on the Hot 100 and claim the No. 1 spot on Country Airplay, but it also made Chapman the first Black woman to top that country chart since its 1990 inception. Chapman responded: "I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I'm honored to be there. I'm happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced 'Fast Car.'"

Combs' version generated over $500,000 in global publishing royalties for Chapman, boosting the original's weekly consumption by 44%. The song was already well loved by fans, since Combs had been teasing it in concerts for years.

Fans rate Luke Combs' work across many themes, including:

Luke Combs is known and loved for his relatable storytelling. Songs such as "Used to You" tug on your heartstrings with immense emotional power. The acoustic "Going, Going, Gone" has been praised for its summery tone and intimate storytelling. 

Combs also focuses on personal reflection in many of his songs. "In Case I Ain't Around," from the Fathers & Sons album, explores mortality, love, and legacy. It resonates intensely with those dealing with loss and the fragility of life. It's sad but hopeful and includes a reflection on Combs' own fatherhood, which makes it feel deeply personal.

While many of Combs' songs have ranked very well on commercial charts, not all chart-toppers become fan favorites. The Diamond-certified single "Hurricane" is an example of this. Despite being his breakthrough radio hit and launching his career, it's ranked as low as No. 34 by some fans who connect more with his later, more nuanced work. "One Number Away" also charted well, but one fan placed it at No. 48, admitting never truly relating to the song. Likewise, it's often the deep cuts and heartfelt ballads that make surprising surges in fan polls.

Combs' achievements, however, are remarkable: he was the first artist in three decades of Billboard Country Airplay history to hold No. 1 and No. 2 with solo songs, and he continues to dominate with 18 No. 1 singles on Country Airplay and 19 on the Mediabase chart.

Fan rankings prove that Luke Combs' success isn't just about the charts. It's also about forging a bond with fans. Close to becoming the best-selling country artist of all time, he's made history as Bonnaroo's first country headliner and has an ever-expanding catalog: five studio albums, four EPs, 20 singles, and 81 officially released songs as lead artist.

With a legacy already anchored by multiple No. 1 hits and over two dozen Platinum singles, Combs' fan rankings show the depth and diversity of his music — and his rare ability to make every listener feel seen and heard.
