This collaboration between Chapman and Combs is a historic moment for the music industry. Last year, Combs and Morgan Wallen held the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart, marking the first time in over 42 years that country artists achieved such a feat. The last time this happened was in 1981 with Eddie Rabbitt’s “I Love a Rainy Night” and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5.”
Combs’ success with Chapman’s song didn’t stop at the U.S. charts. He also earned his first-ever track in the U.K. Top 40 with the cover. Chapman’s original version of “Fast Car” had previously reached number six on the Hot 100 in the U.S. and peaked at the fifth spot in the U.K. in 1988 and again in 2011.
Since Combs’ cover release, Chapman has mostly stayed out of the spotlight. However, she did issue a statement expressing her support for Combs’ rendition after he obtained permission to release it as a single. Last year, the Country Music Association honored Combs and Chapman with the Song of The Year Award for the success of “Fast Car.” Combs also won “Single of the Year” at the 2023 CMAs, and Chapman’s heartfelt statement was read from the stage at the awards show.
