Luke Combs has secured a spot in the music history books with his latest achievement. The Recording Industry Association of America has confirmed Combs’ song, “She Got The Best Of Me” is now diamond certified. In order to earn this distinction, a song or album is required to sell or stream over 10 million RIAA certified units. But it’s not just the one song that has Combs well on his way to living legend. The North Carolina native is now the only artist with four diamond certified country songs. His three other top certified hits include “Hurricane,” “Beautiful Crazy” and “When It Rains It Pours.”
Congratulations to Lauren Alaina and her husband Cam Arnold, they have officially welcomed their baby daughter into the world! The happy mama and papa made the announcement on Friday, June 13, revealing Beni Doll, was born June 11, weighing 7 lbs. 13 oz. To mark this momentous occasion, Lauren has released a new song about her daughter called “Heaven Sent.”
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
