It’s been almost a year since Luke Combs dropped his sophomore studio album What You See Is What You Get, but that’s not stopping him from continuing to rule the charts. The album returned to the no. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, with the largest streaming week for a country album.

What You See Is What You Get was originally released on November 8th, 2019, and debuted at no. 1 after hitting the shelves last year. Its return to the top spot is no coincidence—Combs released the album’s deluxe reissue on October 23rd.

What makes the album’s second Billboard 200 run so impressive is that it broke its own streaming record for a country record, with a total of 102.26 million weekly streams. The album’s new reissue earned 109,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., beating Bruce Springsteen’s latest LP Letter to You.

Combs’ triumph isn’t all that surprising when you take into account that the deluxe version of What You See Is What You Get features a total of 23 tracks. In addition to the original album’s 17 songs, it also includes singles “Six Feet Apart”, “Forever After All”, and Amanda Shires collaboration “Without You”.
