Rimes' "How Do I Live" peaked at #2 and set a record for staying on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 69 weeks, a record it held for over 11 years before being beaten by Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in 2009. It is still the song that has spent the most time in the Billboard Hot 100's top 10. It ranks at #4 on Billboard's All Time Top 100, the only single on the top 10 of this list not peaking at #1.It has been certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of 3 million copies in the United States, the highest certified country single of that time, to be surpassed twelve years later by "Love Story" from artist Taylor Swift, which has been certified 4× Platinum. The song entered the Top 25 Country singles sales chart on June 21, 1997 and was still there in February 2003, a record 291 weeks (five and half years) later.
I remember being PRESSED when JM broke LeAnn her record, but not as pressed as I was when Taylor took the highest country cert.
