Tracy Chapman Is Making Bank Off Inferior ‘Fast Car’ Covers
Thanks to country superstar Luke Combs, Tracy Chapman’s 1988 hit “Fast Car” has landed somewhere the artist herself never anticipated.
“I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there,” the venerated singer-songwriter told Billboard in an exclusive statement on Thursday. “I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’”
Indeed, Combs’ take on “Fast Car” is a certified hit—along with topping Billboard’s Country Airplay chart this week, the song is also currently sitting in the No. 2 spot on the Hot 100, behind Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night.”
