Country music group LANCO has earned its first-ever No. 1on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with “Greatest Love Story” off their self-titled EP. Lead singer Brandon Lancaster takes credit as the sole writer behind the hit, marking the first time in over ten years an artist’s first No. 1 on the chart has been solely written by the artist. Simultaneously, this week’s top-selling new group reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart ending Dua Lipa’s six-week reign at the top spot on the all-genre chart.
“It’s absolutely incredible to write a song that our entire band has believed in since day one…and for our years of hard work to finally pay off,” shared Lancaster. “We built our foundation as a band on ‘Greatest Love Story’ because we believed in the power of Country music story telling. To see how much it has resonated with so many people makes us feel little less crazy for believing in it so much. We also acknowledge the hard work effort that is put into achieving this from our team, record label and Country radio and if it wasn’t for them we would probably still playing this song to empty bars for anyone who would listen.”

“Greatest Love Story” Lyrics
They said I was nothing but a troublemaker never up to no good
You were the perfect all American girl wouldn’t touch me even if you could
But you was sneaking out your window everynight riding shotgun in my car
We go to the river and find us a spot and we probably went a little too far
Just a little too far
‘Cause I was gonna be your forever
You were gonna be my wife
We didn’t know any better
Didn’t have a clue about life
But I was what you wanted you were what I needed
And we could meet in between
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen
So you went off to college and I got a job I was working that 9 to 5
Dreaming of the days when you were in my arms I’ve never felt so alive
I spent my days working, spent my nights drinking, howling at the moon
Screaming for the days when you were coming back, no couldn’t come to soon
Couldn’t come to soon
When I was gonna be your forever
You were gonna be my wife
But you went off to find better
And I was learning all about life
But I was what you wanted and you were what I needed
And we could meet in between
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen
So you came back after a long four years
Your college boyfriend didn’t work out
So we went out for a couple of drinks to find out who we are now
Sure we changed but way deep down you had the same old feelings for me
I went to the store and I bought you a ring and I got down on one knee
Down on one knee
And I said
I wanna be your forever
So baby will you be my wife
Now that we know a little better
We could have a real nice life
‘Cause I’m what you wanted and your what I need
So let’s meet in between
We’re gonna be the greatest love story this town has ever seen
We’re gonna be the greatest love story this world has ever seen
So baby say yes to me
Congrats! Share this news with other fans of the band.
