This much anticipated result follows the success of Comb’s debut album This One’s For You, which is also at #17 on this weeks chart, over 2 years after release.
In fact, those albums are now #1 and #2 respectively on the ARIA Country Chart as well.

He also recently revealed that originally he had ambitions to be a homicide detective, before his music career took off.
