RM is at 76 right now on iTunes. I wonder if the performance tonight will be enough to move it back up the charts?

i bet it will. Need You Now's CMA performance was what really helped blow it up.

^ I remember after the CMA's NYN went all the way to number one, I wonder how high RM will go

 

[bluevelvet85]

RMS sales should blow up after the CMA's tonight cant wait to see the album numbers

^ I remember after the CMA's NYN went all the way to number one, I wonder how high RM will go

Yes, it went #1 on iTunes and Hot Digital Songs, also going #1 on Hot Country Songs, resulting a #5 showing on the Hot 100. It didn't go #1 again until the Grammy week.

 

[utlovescarrie]

As of right now - RM is a #28 on iTunes. 48 spots from yesterday!

 

[teesharky]

I think the fact that RM is getting an adds date to Hot Ac is a good sign that sales might stay steady for awhile. We need to request the crap out of this song on HOt AC.

We have nothing better to do anyway. lol

 

[clh_hilary]

What is Brad Paisley's best-selling single again?

 

[thunder92]

^If not RM already, then it will be soon haha

 

[clh_hilary]

^ Yes that's for sure. I'm just wondering how far is that. On Carrie's list, "Remind Me" should be placing just behind "Before He Cheats", "Jesus Take The Wheel" and "Cowboy Casanova". It should have edged pass trillion other Carrie Platinum singles already.

 

[teesharky]

If RM gets reasonable HOT AC or AC airplay, then it could start to sell better again.

Brad is listed as attending or performing the AMAS on their commercial, but they didn't say if he was performing or presenting. If performing-- I wonder if he is doing Camoflauge? lol Not sure how that would go over to that hiphop crowd. He could be doing RM to promote it on Hot AC, which could mean Carrie is going.

But I doubt it as one would think Carrie would have been announced by now.

The IIDY sales number should have an asterisk in that it was remixed and sent to Hot AC. Also having it sell for 69 cents for like forever helps...

BHC was also played on Hot AC. These number are from Hot Digital Tracks and includes only the album version. I don't think that the pop mix was sold on itunes....

The Pop remix gave the song a bump on the format which included more Downloades resulting from the remix.... BHC used the original Country version during the whole run of BHC because Carrie wouldn't compromise her values to get more downloads... No one is saying that IIDY isn't a great song all were saying is that the remix defiantly helped the song achieve a greater number of downloads....

You're right. In fact, the country songs that sold more than BHC all have pop mixes (Need You Now, Love Story and You Belong With Me).

It's sad to think the singers that are rewarded with country music trophy's are those that went outside of country to achieve their success - Lady Antebellum, Taylor, the Band Perry - all won awards at the CMA's - well, if country doesn't care anymore and it's only numbers that count - I hope Remind Me does amazing on AC
