Carly Pearce and Lee Brice reached the top of both the Mediabase chart and Billboard Country Airplay chart with their duet, “I Hope You’re Happy Now.”

Penned by Carly, Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana, “I Hope You’re Happy Now” is featured on Carly’s self-titled sophomore album, which was released in February.

“I Hope You’re Happy Now” is Carly’s second No. 1 single, while Lee notches his seventh No. 1 single.

“Life is crazy and takes you places you never thought, making the most beautify moments,” says Carly. “Thank you, Lee, for lending your incredible voice to this song. What started as my apology to someone from my past made me realize we all fall short sometimes. I’m so very grateful for life’s lessons and celebrating this number one. Country radio and all of you who embraced this song . . . thank you!”

“I am still so humbled that Carly asked me to be a part of her story with this perfect country duet . . . being on top of the charts again with the perfect partner means the world to me,” says Lee.
