Nearly 20 years after the release of his debut album I’ll Stay Me, Luke Bryan returns with a new full-length, Signs. The country artist’s ninth studio effort dropped in mid-September and this week arrives charts in a number of nations – predictably performing best in the United States.
Country music is not nearly as popular in the United Kingdom as it is in America, where the genre got its start. There are a handful of modern-day country acts that have performed incredibly well across the Atlantic, but Bryan is not one of them. He has maintained only a very minor chart presence in the U.K., but this frame, thanks to a collaboration with another one of country music’s biggest stars, Bryan earns his first bestseller on multiple rosters.
“Finders Keepers” Gives Luke Bryan His First U.K. Bestseller
“Finders Keepers,” Bryan’s collaboration with Luke Combs, debuts on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts this time around. The track fares slightly better on the latter, opening at No. 79, while it starts at No. 85 on the broader sales tally.
The two lists are closely related, though they don’t measure exactly the same type of consumption. The Official Singles Downloads ranking focuses entirely on digital purchases, while the Official Singles Sales roster also incorporates physical formats like CD and vinyl. “Finders Keepers” scores Bryan his first win on each list.
Luke Combs Reaches a Milestone With “Finders Keepers”
The tune’s commercial performance is likely helped, at least in part, by the inclusion of featured artist Combs. The two Lukes turn “Finders Keepers” into a bestseller in the U.K., and while Bryan collects his first hit on the pair of charts, his collaborator has racked up dozens.
“Finders Keepers” becomes Combs’s twenty-eighth smash on the Official Singles Sales chart and milestone thirtieth on the Official Singles Downloads ranking. He first reached both rosters in March 2020 with “Refrigerator Door,” and since then, he has regularly sent new music to both rosters.
“Finders Keepers” is Combs’s eighth debut of 2026 on both tallies. Since January, he has also launched “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” “Be by You,” “I Ain’t No Cowboy,” “Where the Wild Things Are,” “Tell Him About Tonight,” “Beautiful Crazy” and “Rethink Some Things.”
Combs scored multiple new bestsellers throughout the spring, but August was his busiest stretch of the year on the Official Singles Sales chart, as four tunes opened on the two connected sales rankings in that month alone. That success coincided with his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour touching down in England. Combs played three nights at Wembley Stadium in London on July 31, August 1 and August 2, and his arrival clearly excited U.K. fans that they turned to not only streaming his work, but buying his songs in bulk.
Signs Becomes Luke Bryan’s Ninth Country Albums Top 10
Bryan’s new full-length debuts on only one U.K. tally, but Signs immediately becomes another top 10 success. The collection opens at No. 4 on the Official Country Artists Albums chart.
Signs marks Bryan’s ninth appearance on the country-only ranking, and every one of those releases has pushed its way into the top 10. He has never managed to rule the roster, though he has come very close on multiple occasions. Kill the Lights and What Makes You Country both peaked at No. 2, while Born Here Live Here Die Here stalled one rung lower.
His newly-released studio LP immediately becomes Bryan’s fourth-highest-peaking release on the Official Country Artists Albums chart – coincidentally as it kicks off its time in fourth place.
