Luke Combs’ ‘Twister’ Track ‘Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma’ Spins to No. 1 on Country Airplay Chart

Luke Combs notches his 18th Billboard Country Airplay chart-topper as “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” surges three spots to No. 1 on the list dated Sept. 28. The song increased by 12% to 30.2 million audience impressions Sept. 13-19, according to Luminate.

Combs authored the single with Jessi Alexander and Jonathan Singleton, and produced it with Singleton and Chip Matthews. It’s from the soundtrack Twisters: The Album, which arrived at its No. 3 high on Top Country Albums in August.

(OK, get this: Oklahoma appears in the title of a Country Airplay No. 1 for the first time. The state was previously best represented when Vince Gill and Reba McEntire’s “Oklahoma Swing” hit No. 13 in 1990. On Billboard’s multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, which began in 1958, 32 years before Country Airplay, “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma,” by David Frizzell and Shelly West, led in 1981 and “Okie From Muskogee,” by Merle Haggard and the Strangers, reigned in 1969.)

Combs crowns Country Airplay after Riley Green’s “Different ‘Round Here,” on which he’s featured, hit No. 2 and his own “Where the Wild Things Are” reached No. 3, both in February. Combs last led with his version of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 pop hit “Fast Car,” for five frames starting in July 2023.

The Asheville, N.C., native rattled off a career-opening-record 14 consecutive Country Airplay No. 1s. His 18 leaders dating to his first, “Hurricane,” in May 2017, mark the most among all artists in that span; Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen follow with 14 each. Combs also boasts the most weeks at No. 1 – 52, or a full year – in that stretch, ahead of Wallen’s 43.

Jelly Roll’s Sixth Top 10

Also on Country Airplay, and speaking of opening runs at the format, Jelly Roll adds his sixth total and consecutive top 10 as “I Am Not Okay” pushes 11-10 (20.2 million, up 19%).

A week earlier, Dustin Lynch’s “Chevrolet,” featuring Jelly Roll, became the latter’s fifth Country Airplay No. 1, dating to his first, “Son of a Sinner” in January 2023, the chart’s longest active streak of leaders. (Jelly Roll broke through on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, where he logged five entries in 2011-16.)
