Lee Brice Goes Platinum — Again — With Chart-Topping Single, “Rumor”

Two weeks after Lee Brice’s “Rumor” climbed to Number One on the Billboard and Mediabase Country Airplay charts, the internationally-acclaimed song has officially gone RIAA Platinum, earning Brice another well-deserved milestone.

A “blues-infected ballad” (New York Times) that “suits Brice’s burly growl” (Rolling Stone Country), “Rumor” has resonated with fans across the globe, racking up more than 200 million on-demand streams worldwide while also peaking at Number One on Australia’s CMC (Country Music Channel) Top 50 Chart. Back home in the U.S., the song has become an enduring staple on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, where it’s remained for nearly 45 weeks.

“I have to shout out our incredible fans who have supported ‘Rumor’ by tuning in, downloading, streaming and coming to see our shows,” Brice said earlier this month. “And… have you seen the video?  That was one of my favorite things about this song — it stars my gorgeous wife, Sara.”

Speaking of milestones, Brice recently surpassed 14 million career certifications by the RIAA. Those certifications are the result of a career whose achievements include six Number One hits, eight Platinum singles, one Platinum album (Hard 2 Love), two Gold albums (Love Like Crazy, I Don’t Dance), and a pair of Gold-selling singles. Meanwhile, Brice maintains his position as one of Pandora’s most-listened-to artists, proof that his popularity at country radio is matched by his success on digital platforms and on the road.
