One slow week at a time, Lee Brice has pieced together a chart record that demonstrates unusual patience and longevity.

“Love Like Crazy” is in the Top 5 on the current Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, putting him on the list for a whopping 55 weeks. With this latest edition of the chart, Lee passed Eddy Arnold’s “Bouquet Of Roses” to spend more weeks on the magazine’s chart than any other single in history.

“It’s really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that this song has been on the charts for over a year,” Lee says. “I had a really good feeling about it when [producer] Doug Johnson played it for me. But never in my wildest dreams did I think it would have this kind of life. It’s a song people can relate to — nothing flashy — just straightforward and honest. And that’s what makes a truly great song.”

Lee gets at least three chances to sing it this weekend. He’ll play Thursday in Foxborough, Mass.; Friday in York, Pa.; and Sunday in Angola On The Lake, N.Y.
