Carrie Underwood - "Drinking Alone": #224 (+38)
There seems to be a ton of buzz already about this song. This article popped up on my Facebook feed and the comments were all extremely positive. They were saying it's the best song on Cry Pretty and seemingly casual fans were saying it's her best song in a long time.

I have never seen so much overwhelmingly positive response outside the fanbase for a Carrie single since perhaps... Blown Away.
I really really hope this smashes and becomes a huge signature hit for her. She is known for JTTW, BHC, BA...none of which she had a hand in writing or production. But this time, for the first time, so much credit for her possible signature hit will go to Carrie's own creativity and talent!
more likely April fools day or later when it peaksLove, love, love this! Can't wait for this song to smash. #1 for Valentine's Day? *fingers crossed*
we need the big stations, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Houston..the ones that wouldn't play SB in high rotation and cost her the BB #1Cody A and his cohorts on After Midnight are all in for DA as the next single!!!
This song needs and deserves a big-budget video with big production, so that it can do well on streaming too.
The last Carrie song to have a big video was Somethin' Bad, and it wasn't even *her* song. smh
And look what that big video did: made the song go all the way to #19 on the all-genre Hot 100 (Carrie's last top 20) and #1 on Hot Country Songs.
