Already loving “Tattoo On a Sunburn”, “Still”, “Fast Car”, “A Song Was Born”, and “You Found Yours”. “Where The Wild Things Are” is a very interesting song that doesn’t remind me of anything else from Luke so far.
I’ve only listened once so far but I look forward to listening to it a lot more and seeing what else really stands out to me.

I’ve only listened to half so far but I’m impressed with his Fast Car cover. That could have been really bad and he pulled it off prob the best any male country singer could!

Only about halfway thru the record on my first listen, but it's definitely safe to say that it's a step above the Growin' Up effort from last year. There's some really strong tracks on here that I pray see the light of day as radio singles, because I need him to diversify his hits catalog more. I'm tired of the sappy love ballads and ham-fisted yelling uptempos. Stuff like "See Me Now," "Love Me Anyway," and "Joe" would all make excellent singles and easily be some of the best releases of his career.

Better than “Growing Up”, but not in same park as the first two albums, for me.
Growing Up and Getting Old might be my favorite Combs song ever tho. Fast Car, You Found Yours, Where The Wild Things Are, The Part are also early favorites.

Yeah I agree that this is a step-up from Growing Up, but not as good as his debut. You Found Yours, See Me Now, and 5 Leaf Clover are my favs. Fast Car cover is also well done.

Looking at the Hits thread in the Chart Discussion section of this website, I will predict Luke Combs will land at #2 country and #5 on the Top 200 chart depending on where SZA lands.

A little surprised he hasn't announced his next radio single yet, i still think he should have waited til around september to release this but whatevs i guess. I think first single should be 5 Leaf Clover
And whenever comes time for the final single before moving on to his next era, i think Fast Car should be considered.

I wonder if Morgan’s team dropped his album when they did purposely, in hopes to block Luke from #1. Wild his #1 album streak will be broken.

"Going Going Gone" literally was let go of promo this week, I imagine a new single will come really soon. Just give it time.

Since GGG was still peaking by the time this album dropped, at this point they might as well just give it a week or two to see what songs seem to resonate the best with fans/the general public and let that help them decide what to release to radio.

The album is a step up from Growin’ Up for sure, but it still feels a little lacking. The best songs from both albums should have been combined to make one epic album, and would have cut out some filler. Lyrically this is Luke’s best effort yet, but sonically it’s lacking. Too many of the songs sound similar in style, and I think it would serve him well to branch out a little more and experiment with different styles. The songs that standout most on this album are the ones that distinguish themselves the most from his previous catalog.
For singles, I think going with “Love You Anyway” makes the most sense. It’s a beautiful song that’s streaming insanely well, might as well let that one crush it right out of the gate. Here’s what I would choose for singles if I had to lock them in right now: 1. Love You Anyway 2. Fast Car 3. You Found Yours 4. Where The Wild Things Are 5. Tattoo on a Sunburn Doubt we get 5 singles, but these 5 stood out the most to me. I really love “Where The Wild Things Are” and “Tattoos on a Sunburn”, so hopefully those two can start streaming a little better so they don’t get passed on for singles.

5 Leaf Clover is such a great song. It has to be one of the singles.

There’s gonna be several good songs from this album that won’t see radio and that’s a shame. This could win Album of the Year at the CMA’s later this year I think if it gets nominated

This could win Album of the Year at the CMA’s later this year I think if it gets nominated I would very much expect this to be the album to beat at the CMA's later this year. Heck, this is already on track to be my most-played country album of the year (and my favorite of Luke's to boot).

Does anyone have the current Spotify streaming numbers for each song from the album? I’m curious to see what songs are resonating the most at this point!
On Apple Music I can look at Luke’s music but I don’t necessarily think the order or songs that appear are exactly the order they are the most played in!

You can look at Spotify on a computer and see that.
