About Leave the Pieces

"Leave the Pieces" is a song written by Jennifer Hanson and Billy Austin, and recorded by American country music duo The Wreckers for their debut album Stand Still, Look Pretty for which it served as lead single with a February 7, 2006, release. The single entered the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 68,: peaking at number 34 on the Hot 100, "Leave the Pieces" rose as high as number 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, the first track by a first-time charting duo to top the Billboard country music chart since 1991, and the first by a female duo since 1953. (The Wreckers had previously appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 with "I'm Feeling You" a collaborative single with Santana). Branch said of the song's success, "To see our hard work in getting this project off the ground result in my first number-one as an artist could not be more meaningful", while Jessica Harp said "It's an amazing feeling to have our debut single go number one, especially getting to share it with my dear friend. The fact that we've achieved such success is something I can't even comprehend yet. I just know that the stars have aligned, and it feels good to be a Wrecker." ("Leave the Pieces" was not actually the Wreckers' debut single: apart from their Santana collaboration "I'm Feeling You" in 2005 the Wreckers had that year had a single release with "The Good Kind" which had bubbled under the Hot 100 with a number 115 peak.) more »

The Wreckers

The Wreckers were an American country duo formed in 2005 by Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp, both of whom had solo recordings before the duo's foundation. In 2006, the duo released its debut album Stand Still, Look Pretty, which produced a Number One single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs in its lead-off single "Leave the Pieces." The album accounted for a Top Ten hit on the same chart in "My, Oh My" as well. After its release, both Branch and Harp returned to being solo singers. Harp has since had Top 40 country success of her own with the single "Boy Like Me". more »
