Luke Combs will return with a new album, The Way I Am, on March 20.

The set, his sixth release for Sony Music Nashville, will include new track “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” which was released Wednesday (Jan. 7) with the album announcement.


“It’s been a long process getting this thing going, but I’m really proud of this record,” Combs said in a statement. “I’ve loved the song ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room’ for a long time, and it’s been awesome to see how excited the fans are for that one as well.”

The album is Combs’ first full length set since 2024’s reflective Fathers & Sons, which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, continuing a streak of all five of his studio albums reaching No. 1 or 2 on the tally.

Combs produced the album with longtime collaborators Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton. He has already released a number of tracks from the 22-song set, including “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” “Giving Her Away” and “Back in the Saddle,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated Nov. 1. It marked Combs’ 19th No. 1 on the chart.

The album release coincides with a U.S. stadium tour for Combs that kicks off March 21 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and runs through May 16 at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field in Wisconsin before heading to Canada and then Europe before concluding with three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium.

It’s shaping up for another big year for Combs, with the singer and his wife expecting their third child this winter.

Executive of the Week: Meet Darren Gilmore, the Canadian Manager Behind the Scenes of Hilary Duff's Chart-Topping Comeback

Working with artists like Mother Mother and Boy Golden, the president of Watchdog Management has used his veteran experience in the Canadian music industry to help orchestrate the comeback of the year so far and the No. 1 success of Duff's new album Luck... Or Something.

Hilary Duff is back, and her comeback is one of the best-executed in years — especially in Canada.

Her new album, Luck… Or Something, debuted last week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, a feat she hadn't achieved in more than two decades. Building on the buzz of her intimate show at History in Toronto earlier this year that had the whole country buzzing, she's now coming to 10 different Canadian cities on her Lucky Me World Tour in 2026 and 2027.
