Carrie Underwood 7- Denim and Rhinestones

[Hil]

Carrie, I do think she will win some day. I think if they award a woman this year, it will be Miranda. She is part of the "family".

I dont think they'll ever give it to Carrie. I'd love to be wrong. She deserves it more than anyone in country, male, and definitely of the females. I think she should have won both of the times that narcissist stole it from her.

I hope she does win some day. And I agree, she should have won a couple of times already.
She is just going to have to live her best life, singing with legends and selling out her tours.

D&R has moved from …

#50 to #33 on all-genre iTunes in ONE DAY

I think vinyl says have more h to do with that!

Is the lack of reviews possibly because people are offended she has some pop songs on the album? We know the country genre can be very reactive about that.

lolll, Carrie takes a what country artist are you quiz and gets Maren Morris

Carrie can sing circles around that girl!

I think there are no reviews because the label didn't send it out for reviews. I don't think it's any deeper than that. I don't think it's because there are pop songs on the album, or people secretly or not so secretly hate Carrie. I think it was a label decision.

 

[rcramer]

Well, that was quite strange, and Maren please......

What a great interview! He did awesome and she looked beautiful! I liked when she said she puts on a better Vegas show than luke does

I take back what I said about not liking the production of 'Poor Everybody Else.' I always liked the song, there's literally not a song on this album I don't like, but it took me a minute to sort of get it. Like her voice is a little muffled, but I kinda dig that now. lol Random, but hit play and it was the song that came up on shuffle.

The problem is that the album is so good and my favorites keep changing except Crazy. Angels is still my #1

Crazy Angels used to be one of the top 3 for me. But after hearing the whole album for weeks, it's at the bottom for me. Not sure why.

D&R is out of the Billboard 200 chart on it's fourth week.

I think this shows just how streaming has really taken over! I know I was resistant to stream for a couple years and what did me in was my new car didn’t have a CD player and I was like well guess I have to conform now lol!

I don’t know how to boost streaming numbers dramatically besides getting the songs on playlists (which honestly I don’t really seek out curated playlists) and promo on socials. I do wonder if she was more active like doing Q&A boxes and posting more video stories would that draw people in on social. But also I feel like Carrie isn’t the type to be all over the internet posting. IDK just some random thoughts!

Hopefully when the tour starts all the promo will help with the streams, but i don't see the album having long legs (chart-wise) since album sales are dead and for some reason her label doesn't seem to care about putting her songs on playlists, and promoting her on social media
The album need a hit also, not a radio hit that let's be honest, who listens to radio anymore? They need to pick a catchy song (VH, PC, HMH, B) and promote it everywhere.
And i know chart placement isn't important at the end of the day, but i want to see her succeed. And D&R spending only 3 weeks on the chart kills me

This is stunning in the worst way. Do we have a sense of how the album is comparing with Carrie's peers who have released material this year - at this point in the roll-out?

This shows how outdated country music labels have been for decades. The only thing they ever cared about was country radio, getting played on that niche. They barely ever issued CD-Singles back in the 90s, to bump those songs' performance on all-genre charts, like all other genres were already doing.
That's why when you look back at several country artists' stats, you will see multiple songs at #1 on country radio that never even appeared on the Hot 100 and has no sales certifications. And when they did appear, it was on the low numbers, by pure luck.

Now, with radio airplay counting less and less, country artists will continue to fade away on the charts.

Country labels never caught up with the music industry at any moment in time, and now it's finally severely affecting it. Music lovers and consumers are streaming, rather than buying, and no one listens to radio anymore. The only thing left for country artists is playing festivals.

Yep, just what I've been saying for years.
Maybe with Forbes and Billboard saying it, someone here will believe it.

"if the genre doesn't steer country listeners towards streaming now, top musicians and labels may be stuck playing catch up later on".

That was in 2017. And yes, 5 years laters, they are indeed stuck. lmaaaao

Fans of country music arent' flocking to streaming platforms like those of other styles of music, and that could be troublesome for the future.

No one said country doesn't have a streaming problem, it does. We don't agree country is dead, like you falsely like to claim, as evidenced by big touring numbers and countless festivals, as well as the massive draw of Nashville.

Well, how does one measure a music genre success? By numbers. And those numbers cover several areas that are taken into account to measure success:
chart performance, sales, streaming, units moved and live performances.
Of those areas, country music only has significant expression in live performance (touring and festival).

So, your point? 5 areas, only good at in one? Please... That's "dead", or about to die.
I do not "falsely" claim, like you love to say. Everything I say here is based on facts.
Truth clearly hurts. If you can't take it, that's not my problem. But stop lying about me "falsely" claiming stuff, that's not the first time you acuse me of something. Cardi B was right: "hating didn't work, so they lied".
