Hopefully next week UMG can devote all their attention to DA, since it'll be their next song in line for number one

Go to thebigtime.online.com, a syndicated evening radio program and click on the Big Four from the Night Before. Enter your name and Drinking Alone. On Friday they will count down and play the most voted for song. Let's get drinking alone in the top four. You can do this every Thursday evening.

Idk, I just miss the way her chart runs used to be. I was looking at "Dirty Laundry's" thread just to compare how the chart run of her pervious fourth single was and noticed that Dirty Laundry hit top 30 within two weeks of impacting while it took DA months, and stations were eager to play her new music, people posted that they were hearing DL on the radio before it even impacted, while a lot of us didn't hear DA for months after it impacted. Her trajectory at radio really changed this era. Hope somehow it can go back the way it was for at least one more album.

Well since she's over 35 now radio will faze her out. So unfair Luke and Blake are well over 40 but still get #1 like crazy.

I'm hoping after CU Xmas she comes back strong with a rocking lead single. I think Cry Pretty single wasnt made for radio and kind of hurt her momentum which sucks, but I still have faith!

I think it will. These songs just had bad luck with testing. All the songs on Storyteller tested really well and of course were big hits. I think radio will play any song by Carrie to number one if it tests well. Look at Miranda, she had a few bad years where her singles didn’t test well. Many argued her career at radio was over. Then Bluebird comes along, a great testing song, and it’s a big hit, climbed fast, etc. If next album has singles like the last, I’d say Carrie is fine

I agree. Carrie has said herself CP wasn’t really written for radio, and UMG burned it on listeners and radio stations by pushing it way past its natural life. Then of course I think the same goes with LW. Southbound and DA got unlucky as after slow starts, they began doing quite well (stations liked them), but then listeners didn’t.

I think radio will play her to the top if her songs test well. They want to, IMO. Kind of like with Blake- his second single on his current album didn’t test well and barely scraped the top twenty. The other two tested fine and were number ones

I'd get used to it. Her age and gender are very much working against her. What works with her is she's the most prominent woman in country music currently. She'll have generally lower charting singles, in my opinion, but can still hit #1 once or twice and era instead of three or four times. It is the unfortunate truth.

Decent update today hopefully this continues and it keeps climbing. Where is DA at Billboard? is it looking like it can crack top 10?

Just hope they can keep it in the Hot Country Songs playlist on Spotify for as long as possible because that has helped out with its streaming #’s tremendously.
