Luke Combs’ ‘Beautiful Crazy’ Is One of 6 Diamond Country Songs
As an artist, it’s a huge feat to achieve having a Gold or Platinum record. That means the record has sold either five hundred thousand, or one million copies. But few reach the ultra-coveted Diamond certification by the RIAA, marking ten million copies sold.
Luke Combs‘ “Beautiful Crazy” just became only the sixth country song in music history to get the Diamond certification.
To date, “Beautiful Crazy” has sold more than ten million copies since it came out in 2017. Combs co-wrote “Beautiful Crazy” with Rob Williford and Wyatt Durrette, and it appeared as a bonus track on his 2017 debut album This One’s for You.
The other five country songs that have gone Diamond are as follows:
As a modern-day everyman, Combs is one of — if not the biggest — star to come out of country music in recent years. Nearly all of his singles go to No. 1 on the charts — it’s as if everything he touches turns to gold, or in this case, Diamond.
With his recent cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Combs is slated to top the charts again very soon. He has put Chapman back on the charts after more than 30 years, as the writer of the song, and she has garnered an estimated five hundred thousand dollars off of royalties alone.
Combs is currently on his Luke Combs World Tour, which extends through October 2023.

Mark Henry Reveals He Threatened To Quit WWE After He Felt Disrespected By Vince McMahon’s Prank
Mark Henry Reveals He Threatened To Quit WWE After He Felt Disrespected By Vince McMahon’s Prank
David Draiman
WWE Hall of Famer and AEW Star Mark Henry appeared on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight, where he discussed a variety of topics such as how he threatened to quit WWE after he felt disrespected and trivialized by the prank WWE Chairman Vince McMahon pulled on him in 2011 when Vince sent him to the ring at the end of a show to wrestle Sin Cara, but just left him hanging and never came to the ring.
Mark Henry said:
”I felt disrespected, I feel trivialized. Out of all the work that I did, like all of the sacrificing, and you people say, ‘Oh, you got paid a lot of money.’ You know what, man, I didn’t get paid enough money to dummy down my pride and my respect as a man. Ain’t no price for that. And when that happened, I felt like, ‘Okay, I’m expendable, I’m useless to them. They don’t respect me.’”
”Being that I am a man and that I was able to say my piece to Vince and everybody involved, like, ‘Just know who I am, because that won’t ever happen again. If it does, like us talking will not be an option. And I quit.’”
”He [Vince McMahon] said that he thought it was funny. And they wanted to get to the cars and get to the airport. And that was gonna give them time to get out of there without any traffic. Not thinking, ‘How’s Mark gonna feel after this?’”

Pauly Shore Reacts to Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars Joke, Plots Comeback
Pauly Shore has responded to one of the most devastating jokes delivered by Jimmy Kimmel during his Oscars monologue on Sunday night after the host compared the comedian to his former co-stars and two of the night’s biggest winners, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan.
“Two actors from Encino Man are nominated for Oscars,” Kimmel quipped, referring to Fraser and Quan, who were up for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. “What an incredible night this must be for the two of you and what a very difficult night for Pauly Shore.”
The ’90s comedy fixture posted his reaction the following day via Twitter, sharing, “I loved it.” He then redirected the attention back to his past scenemates by adding, “But what I REALLY loved is that my old buddies from back in the day, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, took home the Oscars! Never quit on your dreams.” See the full post below.
According to Page Six, the stray diss didn’t strike Shore as anything out of the ordinary. “We love to hate people when they’re on top,” the one-time MTV VJ asserted. “People wanted to smash me down and they did.”
“I was always nice to everyone, always cool, I put my heart into my all my films,” he continued. “You’re buying and selling a human being. Human beings have feelings, it’s not like selling real estate.”
The Oscars joke didn’t seem to spoil the moment entirely for Pauly Shore, who called his former colleagues’ wins “a big deal” and shared he was “happy for these guys.” As for Encino Man, he reflected that “we did a movie together years ago and I’m glad that people still talk about it 30 years later. It’s crazy.”
Shore also revealed that he traded messages with Quan a few months ago, and though he hasn’t spoken to Fraser in about five years, he recalled “working with [Fraser] was a pleasure” and “comedy gold.”
Meanwhile, Shore has set his sights on staging a similar comeback as his co-stars. “I do truly miss acting and I miss being on set… hopefully it happens,” he said. “It’s about just dreaming and hoping.” He currently hosts the Apple podcast Jam in the Van and stars in an autobiographical one-man show, Stick with the Dancing: Stories from My Childhood, which has attracted interest from an unnamed production company for a television adaptation.
“Someone out there will say, ‘You know what, we’re going to do something you wouldn’t expect — we’ll put Pauly in this role that no one would expect,’” he said. “I am not going to stop. I’m going to keep going. I know I’m going to get that call, and get that opportunity. That’s what’s it about.” Time can only tell if the rumored Encino Man sequel for Disney+ will be the right vehicle for that.
I don’t know if you guys saw the @TheAcademy Awards last night, but @jimmykimmel poked fun at me in the monologue. I loved it.
But what I REALLY loved is that my old buddies from back in the day, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, took home the Oscars!
