The record-breaking Oklahoma native recently scored his first Billboard number one and is part of a new wave of artists taking country mainstream.
The dust is just settling from Luke Combs’ sold-out national tour, but country music fans will need to saddle up once more with fellow superstar Zach Bryan set to visit Australia in December.
Once viewed as a genre that existed in a vacuum – there are music fans, and there are country music fans – country has experienced a resurgence over the last two years with artists like Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Kacey Musgraves experiencing mainstream chart success.Combs has been arguably responsible for blazing the trail, and according to data provided by Spotify, his monthly streams in Australia increased by 101 per cent between July 2022 and July 2023.
“Pop music is the most streamed genre of music for Australians on Spotify, but country music falls within the top ten most streamed genres, and Australia has remained in the top three global markets for country music consumption since 2018,” she says.
