Luke Combs has set an unprecedented record on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

The singer's sophomore album, "What You See Is What You Get," claimed the No. 1 spot again this week.

That marks the album's 25th week in the top slot, which makes Combs the first artist in the chart's 56-year history to have his first two studio albums spend more than 25 weeks at No. 1.

His debut album, "This One's For You," released in 2017, spent a whopping 50 weeks at No. 1.

Taylor Swift previously held the chart record, with her 2006 self-titled debut sitting at No. 1 for 24 weeks, while her Grammy-winning follow-up, "Fearless," spent 35 weeks at the top of the chart.

Garth Brooks, Shania Twain and Alabama are the only other artists in the history of the Top Country Albums chart who have spent 25 or more weeks at No. 1 with two albums.

Brooks did it with "No Fences" and "Ropin' the Wind" in 1990 and 1991, respectively, while Twain's wildly popular albums "The Woman in Me" and "Come on Over" spent 79 weeks combined at No. 1 on the chart. In 1981 and 1982, Alabama was sitting high with "Feels So Right" and "Mountain Music."

Combs also tied Twain's record for "Come on Over" with "This One's For You" for the longest run at No. 1, both logging 50 weeks.

The country singer released new song "Six Feet Apart" about COVID-19 crisis.
