This playlist tracks what’s happening from the heart of the country scene to its outer edges. Find fan favourites you already love next to breakout stars and emerging voices. Topping the list this week is Luke Combs with “Be By You”, the smash single off the country superstar’s long-awaited sixth studio album The Way I Am, out now. “Be By You” is a lived-in love song with a laidback groove, with Combs in lover-boy mode as he promises, “Where you are is where I belong.” Combs tells Apple Music that The Way I Am—clocking in at 22 tracks—is “the biggest album” he’s ever done, and shares that his creative decisions “come down to happiness”. “Obviously, it's great to be successful and have money and have all these things, but what it really buys you is the ability to have this freedom and live the life that you want to live,” he says.
