Artist: Luke Combs Single: Doin' This Album: TBA Label: River House/Columbia Impact Date: TBA Writers: Luke Combs, Drew Parker, and Robert Williford
Not announced as the next single from Combs but I think it's safe to post it for now. Cold As You looks to be going for max spins this week and I'd think he wouldn't have released this if it wasn't the next single.

Part of me thinks this is similar to This Bar by Morgan Wallen in the way that this will be in his third album, but is not the lead radio single. There is just no way a LC3 lead single wouldn't receive massive hourly deal on the release day, which is something this song didn't get.

As much as I love Luke Combs, this one misses the mark a bit for me. He has a knack of writing songs of varying degrees of quality which are either relatable, or at least sound like they're probably relatable to a sizeable chunk of his listeners. This, I can't buy into in that way.
Nobody else is out there reflecting on the idea that if they weren't a plumber, they would still be a plumber but for dolls houses; or if they didn't make it as a teacher they would train dogs, or whatever some dialed back version is of their current success. I would also imagine that if hypothetical Luke regularly had a "Friday night crowd in the palm of his hand" it would be a matter of time before he was enjoying something akin to actual Luke's life.
In short I don't hear relatability and I don't hear humility in this song. What I hear is "if you didn't know my greatness yet, it would only be a matter of time" -- not at all the intention, of course, but I think it's clunky and detached enough to make it a song that doesn't support Luke's likeability and humility (two of his more appealing facets in most that he does)

Even though this is a non-single, it actually hangs on this week on Hot 100 as it is still above Heart on Fire on Hot Country Songs chart, and HOF entered Hot 100.

Anyone know what Luke’s timeline will be? Im assuming a new single in Jan? And a similar timeline to Maren. Nothing happening with this one right?

I wonder if this is going to turn into a full-fledged radio single or if they're just gonna let radio turn it into a minor hit the way they did with Luke Bryan's "Games" several years back (the only good recent example I can compare this situation to, lol). It's crazy that this is top 40 already without any effort put behind it. I'm not big into this song though so I personally hope they just let radio do whatever with this for the next few months until he's ready to drop something stronger and kick off LC3 in a big way.

The year end pdf for Country Aircheck did mention new music from Luke Combs should come in Q1 (January-March) with more details on that new music in the early new year. Also thank you .indulgecountry for reminding me of "Games" by Luke Bryan. That songs chart run was always so odd but fascinating to watch in 2015.

So this entered the Mediabase Top 40 this week gaining 7 spots to land at #40.
I imagine this will be like "Games" a pure placeholder that isn't being promoted to radio but will climb the chart due to Luke Combs being such a huge radio prescence. But the moment a proper Luke Combs single is released this will drop out of the chart.

Wasn’t Rascal Flatts’ “Life Is A Highway” also a non single that charted? I believe it peaked at #18.

Wasn’t Rascal Flatts’ “Life Is A Highway” also a non single that charted? I believe it peaked at #18. Peaked at #18 and was never an official promoted single. In fact, Lyric Street Records tried to discourage airplay at the start, in the summer of 2006, but stations did not care and it got to the top 20 by the fall of that year. "My Wish" went unaffected, as it spent multiple weeks at #1 by December. "Life is a Highway" is still a gold title for many country stations to this day, which is pretty crazy. "My Wish" isn't. "Doin' This" by Luke Combs will get around 40 adds this week on Mediabase for over 50 total adds so far.

Gross. The more I hear this, the more I dislike it. The song is an interesting concept, while simultaneously sounding... really dumb. Not looking forward to hearing this overplayed to death with a 6-week run at #1. 🙄😞

He needs outside writing circles, because his own is definitely not creative enough at this point, melody or lyrics wise.
Still kinda like this song though, actually my favorite single of his since Even Though I'm Leaving.

Would've been interesting to see how far this could've gotten without a full promotion, but probably the right call to give radio what it's already clearly shown to be willing to support.

I applaud that it’s not another sappy love song but this is really bad. Gotta be my least favorite single of his so far.

I like this song a lot but tbh it is kinda “This One’s For You” 3.0.

On the bright side this will peak in 4 months then we’ll get a new song.

The brighter side would've been if he dropped a better new song in 1 or 2 months after letting radio play "Doin' This" for funsies, but now we have to endure a full chart climb for this and the massive overplay that will come with it. :/

I like Luke, but this is a weak single. Don’t really understand releasing it as an actual single unless he’s still far away from releasing new music. But even then, I could name 5 better songs from his last album that would’ve been better place holders.
