That's great for BA! It's already gold! I really hope BA can make it to 2x platinum!

Ye of little faith! Just kidding.
GG is already at 1.3 million, and should reach at least 1.5 million by year's end.
BA has sold more than GG when you compare its chart position to sales-to-date. I think BA will reach 1 million in sales before it hits #1 on the Country chart. Add in the sales as a result of Hot/AC airplay and I can see BA get to at least 1.5 million by year's end.
BA will beat GG in the race to 2 million.

That is not true though. Cowboy casanova and Good Girl both reached top 20 on Hot AC. Undo It reached top 30 on hot ac. So in my opinion a 3 songs crossed over to hot ac.
I guess I am confusedwhen people say carriessongs didn't crossover. Several of them did crossover nicely to Hot Ac.
If you are expecting Top 40 crossover- it is not going to happen as even swsrns songs all flopped on top 40 radio in the Speak Now era. Top 40 has changed and is very urban driven now or dance driven. Plus carrie won't remix or promote heraf on top 40. So i think hot ac crossover is great.

not to sound picky but I think CC only made it to like 21 lol
anyways, to me thats not crossing over. The airplay needed to get near the top 20 is pretty minimal.
Yes, I will take it over no airplay at all but I would like one of her songs to actually be a strong contender on Hot ac and AC

If Luke Bryan can sell 2 million copies of his single without crossing over, why does Carrie need to crossover to sell 2x platinum?

Just out of curiosity, when Kelly Clarkson's Stronger surpasses BHC becoming the best selling American Idol single of all time, they reported that Carrie's digital single sales total was 22,535,000.
Since then, with the numbers that we got¹, we can definitely say she has surpassed the 23 million mark in digital downloads of singles (23,093,000) xD
¹ - BA (316,000), GG (140,000), RM (46,000), BHC (43,000), HGTA (13,000) = 558,000

She has the CMA Music Fest thing on abc on Sept. 17, I am sure they will show her Blown Away performance!

But there is no Rule that "crossing over" means a top 10 hit. Crossing over means getting airplay on other formats. Carrie did that.
What I don't like though-- is that AC never plays Carrie's songs. Hot AC does, but not AC. That bothers me.
Top 40 is not going to happen unless she remixes. But she keeps getting lots of airplay on Hot AC, and to me, that IS crossing over.

oh my god that made me almost vomit in my mouth! That song is absolute CRUD! As bad as the new Taylor song in fact!
god I hate that song so much. How did it make 2x platinum? eek!
I do like Luke Bryan alot-- don't get me wrong- but that song is horrendous.

Well no there isnt, but to me a crossover is becoming a strong force in another format.
And she really hasnt gotten that much airplay. It doesnt take a whole lot to get to the 20's on HAC. I think she definetley could get more airplay if she were to interview and stuff a little bit more. They arent gonna play her music if she isnt giving them anything at all (interviews). Its not her home format so she would need to do a little more work than on country radio.
Again, I know she could do it, but there needs to be a little more effort than a "impacting" date

I also think that Luke has the "it" factor. It will be interesting to see who prevails at the top in the long term Luke or Jason.
