Carly Pearce and Lee Brice reunited for a quarantine surprise yesterday (April 23) as their labels revealed the RIAA and CRIA Gold certification of “I Hope You’re Happy Now” in the U.S. and Canada. The Top 10-and-rising duet has racked up over 130M+ streams to date. “This is so awesome! It has been really important for me to candidly show my story to fans, and these moments prove how much we can connect when we open up,” said Pearce. “Lee, your voice was the perfect match … you brought ‘I Hope You’re Happy Now’ to another stratosphere.”

“I Hope You’re Happy Now” has become one of only three Country singles released in the past seven months to achieve RIAA certification and second GOLD or higher in that time frame. “Thank ya’ll so much! Carly, you really wrote a great song. I am so happy and blessed to be a part of this with you,” added Brice.

Tauren Wells’ Hills And Valleys Reaches Platinum Peak


Tauren Wells‘ powerful single “Hills & Valleys” has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. The two-time Grammy-nominated song has racked up a total of 147 million audio and video streams, and a combined total of over 54 million views on YouTube. During a virtual town hall meeting with Provident Music Group’s staff, President/CEO Terry Hemmings surprised Wells with a plaque signifying “Hills & Valleys” reaching platinum status.

“Well, I wasn’t expecting this,” Wells shared in an Instagram post. “Somehow these songs find their way into your lives and I can’t tell you how amazing, humbling, and special that is to me. It’s truly amazing that this song broke through and entered the lives of so many people. I know that ‘Hills and Valleys’ has changed my life on many levels. Thank you all so much for supporting this song.”
Wells released his second full-length album Citizen of Heaven earlier this year.
