History[]

Before being released as a single, Combs posted videos to Facebook of himself performing the song. It also became a regular performance in his concerts, and in 2018, he re-issued his debut album This One's for You (titled This One's for You Too) with a studio version as a bonus track. It was officially sent to radio with an adds date of December 3, 2018.[1] Taste of Country describes the song as "a slow, personal love song that truly showcases the singer's talents".[2]

Chart performance[]

On the Hot Country Songs chart dated May 19, 2018, "Beautiful Crazy" debuted at number 6, Combs's highest debut on that chart at the time. The song had not been released as a single at the time, but achieved this position through downloads and streaming following the release of This One's for You Too.[3] The song reached the top 10 at Country Airplay while Combs' previous single "She Got the Best of Me" was still falling out of the top 10. It reached number one on the Country Airplay chart dated March 2, 2019, making Combs the first artist to send his or her first five singles to number one since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in January 1990.[4] It stayed there for seven weeks until it was dethroned by Brett Young's "Here Tonight", becoming Combs' longest reign at number one.[5] The same week, it reached number one on the Hot Country Songs chart, becoming his second number one on that chart.[4] It also reached number one on Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales.[4] The song's seven week reign atop Country Airplay was the longest since the chart's inception in 2012 and the longest for a song based strictly off airplay since "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw in 2004. It also stayed at number one on the Hot Country Songs chart for 11 weeks.[6]

The song was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 22, 2018, Platinum on January 28, 2019, and double Platinum on March 18, 2019.[7] It has sold 610,000 copies in the United States as of March 2020.[8]
