He co-wrote a song on the album so deserves one. I remember articles and pictures of Ashley Monroe with her plaque when CR went platinum. She was so thrilled that Flat on the Floor was on the album.

Carrie's first two albums weren't released in the UK until later.
If you remember the old My Space days, Ashley was one of the people raving about Carrie. Carrie had a personal site, but it was closed by password (I think I could guess the password now, but couldn't then). Ashley recommended one called the Unofficial Ace Underwood Fan Club. I knew her version of the song before I checked out Carrie's.
(Those were happy days! I still miss My Space, once the top social media site. it was the best for finding artists, some of whom would get into conversations. It still exists, but has changed beyond all recognition)

I remember My Space was very popular and everybody wanted to be there. We were on the old CMT Board at that time and I was new to the internet so rarely ventured beyond CMT for Carrie info. I do remember being so impressed with Ashley, saw her interviewed on several old shows on GAC, and really liked the song she did with Ronnie Dunn. I still watch the video occasionally. Love her voice. Such a talented songwriter, too. I'm happy she got her plaque and for her success with Pistol Annies.
Here's the worldwide Spotify stats for Cry Pretty.
GOTS, Low, The Bullet and Kingdom are the least streamed songs from the album, approximately 3-3.5M each. It really indicates that these songs are not really what listeners want to hear. EUWY should've been the fourth single over DA.

Do you know the WW stats for Storyteller?
Austin shared these stats in Carrie's thread on pulse.

Is there a way to view Apple Music total streams?
EUWY was a promo single, so it's numbers are inflated because of that. I don't think it should have been a single. And "Low" remains the best song on the album, and people have no taste, lol.

I see the validity of judging song output mainly by general popularity figures (streaming, sales, chart performance, etc). It's a perspective that strikes a chord with many fans, and I would say, is not a perspective that a Mainstream artist could ever ignore. But, for all that, I see it as only part of the overall picture. Songs are also important in an artist's career and repertoire for their artistic value, judged in terms of their music, their innovative experimentation and the contribution they make to the genre the artist identifies with. An artist who hopes to achieve longevity and overall standing in the genre and its overall evolution over time needs to give weight to both perspectives.
This can be done with varied albums - but singles tend to be what are most performed, most noticed and most remembered. For that reason I would applaud an artist who is prepared to take a degree of greater commercial risk with some of the ones she releases as singles.
In Carrie's case, I think her career can be interpreted as one which has always mingled strong commercial success with a willingness to push boundaries, step outside the predictable, acknowledge the traditions of the genre, and produce work that takes the genre forward without losing its identity. It's that that attracts me to her work - and makes her one of the relatively few current chart artists that I do follow.
I think she is likely to continue looking both for songs that she believes will have strong public and fan approval, and for songs that she regards as important to her for a variety of other reasons. The two are not, of course, incompatible - but I don't see her as an artist who will always pick her singles just on the basis of a slide-rule of actual or expected popularity.
I think she took a risk this era with CP, and is taking one again with DA. I'm proud that she did
Of the songs mentioned, I would tend to discount the Kingdom as a single (not because I don't like it, but because it's a highly personal song, and the effective album closer - which she has a tradition of not picking as a single. )
GOTS and Low are both important songs in my opinion, because they help to fix Carrie's status as a major figure in the Country genre, not just in this era, but in the overall evolution of the genre from its earlier roots, through the whole course of the time she's been performing, and into the contemporary scene. The Bullet and Spinning Bottles are in my opinion, bold and thoughtful issue songs, of real contemporary significance. All four of these may indeed have gained fewer spins or streams than some of the others - but I certainly think all four do more for Carrie's thematic range and overall standing as an artist than some of the others.. Obviously, not all would ever have been singles - but, with the caveat that any reaction is going to be personal. I do wish one single at least had been picked from that group of four.

Saw these on Reddit. The guy said it’s from a song that hasn’t been released yet. I wonder if that means CP era is over?

Once DA peaks, I think it's a certainty that the era is over. Are we certain this is her? Looks like her, but how reliable is this, is my question?

That’s true, lol it may not even be her! Here’s a link to the post. I just thought it was interesting. I was hoping it was a video for spinning bottles or something.
