Curb Records’ Lee Brice recently amassed 1 billion streams on Apple Music. In the past three years, his Apple Music streams have more than tripled and, combined with all other platform streams, places Brice’s total digital streaming imprint at over 5 billion.

“What can I say? This is absolutely incredible!” says Lee. “I am so honored and humbled that folks connect with my music. I never would’ve dreamed that my songs would be listened to by so many and I want to thank everyone who has supported me along the way.”

His current album, Hey World, has produced three No. 1 hits, including “Memory I Don’t Mess With,” “One of Them Girls,” and “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Carly Pearce, which scored a trophy for Musical Event of the Year at the 54th Annual CMA Awards and won both Single of the Year and Music Event of the Year at the 56th ACM Awards.

Lee has had 17 songs hit the Apple Music Daily Top 100 Chart in 22 countries. His massive hit, “One of Them Girls,” reached the top five in multiple countries and became his first song to reach the Global Daily Top 100. The Grammy nominee has taken nine singles to No. 1 over his career, and his most recent single, “Soul,” is currently climbing the charts at country radio.

Nashville Top 30 under 30 honoree and Elicity Pubilc Relations’ Director of Publicity Avery King hosted a fundraising show on Tuesday night (Aug. 2) at Whiskey Row benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The event raised $17,200 and included performances from Grammy-nominated songwriter Tofer Brown and rising country acts such as Austin Burke, Carter Faith, Hannah Dasher, Harper Grae, Madeline Edwards, Renee Blair, and Ryne Brashear.

“The entire night was an unforgettable experience. [We couldn’t have done it] without the help of Bryan Webb, Samantha Borenstein and all of the fabulous artists that donated their time and talent, thank you,” shares King. “Being able to stand in front of the full crowd and see so many people showing their support for such a wonderful cause was truly heartwarming.”

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation works to recognize young professionals and helps them grow into community leaders and influencers. Because of the funds raised by the Foundation and their life-saving research, advances continue to be made to fight for a cure.
