Summary Luke Combs enjoys a busy week on the U.K. charts as country continues to gain ground across the Atlantic. This One’s for You returns to both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts, reaching a new No. 70 peak on the streaming-only ranking and becoming his third-longest-charting project there.
Country music is gaining in popularity around the world. The style has always been enormous in the United States, where it originated – and it’s bigger than it has been in a long while – but from time to time, it becomes especially trendy in other territories as well. That is currently true in the United Kingdom, as 2026 has been a major year for country music thanks to artists such as Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen.
Luke Combs , another homegrown U.S. favorite, enjoys a big week on the charts across the Atlantic. Multiple albums return, and one establishes a new high point as it bounds back onto a competitive tally.
This One’s for You returns to the Official Albums Streaming chart this week, breaking back in at No. 70. The comeback brings the project to a new peak in only its fourth frame on the ranking of the most-streamed albums and EPs in the U.K.
The full-length debuted on the roster in October 2023 at No. 81. One week later, it climbed to No. 76, which stood as its highest placement until now. This One’s for You then fell to No. 99 before disappearing, and it took until this week for the collection to return.
Even as This One’s for You establishes a new peak on the Official Albums Streaming chart, it remains one of Combs’s lower-performing sets on the roster. Only What You See Is What You Get , his first title to reach the streaming tally, peaked in a less impressive spot, as it climbed no higher than No. 76. Combs’s career best on the ranking is No. 5, a position he reached with both Gettin’ Old and The Way I Am .
As This One’s for You begins another run, it breaks out of a tie with two other Combs collections and becomes his third-longest-charting project on the Official Albums Streaming list. With four weeks to its credit, the studio effort moves ahead of What You See Is What You Get and Father & Sons , which both appeared on the tally three times.
The Way I Am and Gettin’ Old rank as Combs’s longest-running successes on the roster, with 10 and 19 weeks, respectively.
This One’s for You reappears on two U.K. tallies this frame. In addition to its new No. 70 high on the Official Albums Streaming chart, the full-length finds its way back to the Official Albums chart at No. 86. That placement leaves the project only three spaces beneath its already-established No. 83 peak. This One’s for You has now spent three weeks on the main albums roster, and it has not been seen on the list since November 2023.
What You See Is What You Get is Combs’s other returning project this time around. The collection reenters the Official Country Artists Albums chart at No. 18.
The full-length previously climbed to No. 1, and it is one of Combs’s five champions on the genre-specific ranking. He has sent seven releases to the list throughout his career, and all of them have reached the top 10.
What You See Is What You Get is also Combs’s longest-charting success on the Official Country Artists Albums tally. As it returns, the set is now up to 271 weeks on the roster. The album is tied with Gettin’ Old for the Grammy nominee’s longest reign at No. 1, as both collections spent 11 weeks running the show.
Combs occupies five spaces on the Official Country Artists Albums chart this week. That’s an enormous showing on a ranking that contains only 20 positions.
The Way I Am , Gettin’ Old , Father & Sons , Growin’ Up and What You See Is What You Get appear at Nos. 3, 9, 14, 16 and 18, respectively. All five of those full-lengths have reached No. 1 on the Official Country Artists Albums chart.
The Way I Am makes space on four rankings in the U.K. this week, twice as many as This One’s for You . The full-length places inside the top 40 on three of them and climbs on every tally except the Official Country Artists Albums chart, where it’s a non-mover at No. 3.
The project manages its greatest uptick on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it surges from No. 65 to No. 39. It also leaps from No. 68 to No. 44 on the Official Albums ranking, missing the top 40 by only four spaces.
The Way I Am posts a smaller improvement on the Official Album Downloads chart, where it rises three spots to No. 28. The collection has previously reached Nos. 2, 4 and 5 on the Official Album Downloads, Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts, respectively.
