I don't think the argument is that the topics discussed in "Follow Your Arrow" shouldn't be on country radio, it's that country radio doesn't particularly want those topics to be discussed on their radios. Country is mostly very conservative, so topics like homophobia and marijuana aren't exactly charming to conservative listeners. It's not that the song isn't good enough for country, it's that the song is lyrically challenging to work on country. Though, I'd be all for it to be released just to see the reactions. Ironically, though, the song is very "conservative" in approach because it talks about being independent and having independent thought/motives. Which is the problem with "Conservatives" as a political group. They usually want 'independence' and 'self-sustaining' citizens and less government with laws until it goes against what they're 'taught' in a church or at home based on 'selected' parts from the Good Book. Way to generalize. :) The scare quotes are a particularly nice touch. As for drug references, I was a little surprised the first time I heard "nice long toke" in "Wagon Wheel." Don't know how Darius got away with that on country radio, unless it's just because the song is so well known and so beloved.

I like the video! I respected and understood what they were going for with the "Merry Go 'Round" video, but I'm glad that this one gives us a more typical video approach and we get to see more of Kacey in it.

Well the "Merry Go Round" video was never supposed to be the official video, but it got a great response that UMG decided to make it the official video and save a ton of money - smart move on the label's part, but I do wish we would have gotten a video in the typical sense for MGR.
In regards to this video, I like it a lot. It's exactly like I imagined it would be, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Nothing too exciting, but at least they went for the literal approach and didn't potentially ruin the it with some crazy, different approach.

Gets 14 more adds this week. That's the most it has gotten since its adds date. Looks like Kacey will have her 2nd consecutive top twenty hit with this one.

This is seeming increasingly likely to be another top 10 hit for Kacey, and I don't think #1 seems like too much of a stretch at all. The country format is reacting surprisingly well to Kacey. I really hope she can have a career as successful as Miranda Lambert and become one of the big female names in country music. Her album is absolutely superb, and "Blowin' Smoke" sounds really pleasant on radio, even more so than MGR, in my opinion.

Ugh. This one's had two flat weeks in a row, giving it a net loss of five positions (23-27-28). That's gonna be tough to recover from.

I'm really disappointed that this hasn't received more airplay. I really thought with Merry-Go-Round that country radio was really wanting to embrace more of her songs but I guess not. While she does have songs that could make better single choices this is still better than most of the other country radio releases of the last two months.

Hoping this doesn't follow in the footsteps of Jana Kramer's "Whiskey" and can rebound a bit in the coming weeks. This is far from my favorite on the album, but it's solid and I am pulling for her to have another hit with this.

While she does have songs that could make better single choices this is still better than most of the other country radio releases of the last two months. I think it's a little too early to completely write this one off but she does need to turn it around quickly. The song has only been on the Billboard chart for 14 weeks, but it's just run into a ton of competition. On her initial run up to #23, she'd surged right ahead of Charlie Worsham and Craig Campbell, but since then, those 2 guys have picked up the pace and got back ahead of her. Kenny and FGL moved quickly by, as expected, and Jason just passed her as well. Finally, she also got passed up by Thomas Rhett, who's off to a hot start. Now would be the time for Kacey and Mercury Nashville to stop the bleeding. Chris Young isn't exactly blazing a trail but he's closing in, and Taylor Swift is an even bigger threat. Aside from those two, there probably aren't any threats behind Kacey. LBT and Joe Nichols are far enough back and not moving as fast, and Toby doesn't get up the chart as quickly as he used to. Miranda, EYB, Dierks, the new Tim tune...they're all way far back or not moving up that fast. What would help Kacey as well is if some songs from up ahead can go recurrent, but as it stands now, all the ancient tunes (those by Craig Campbell, Brett Eldredge, & Brantley Gilbert) are still on the way up. "Blowin' Smoke" took a hit in today's Mediabase update, and it looks pretty ugly. Down 24 spins and 226k in audience. She needs to turn it around in the next day or two. This song is actually selling quite well but the call-out scores haven't been that good. I suspect that it's not going over all that well with most men.

Well, this was...sudden. Kacey is a really new artist and so I'd thought that such a steady climb up the chart was actually really good and it seemed like this song would have at least reached the top 15, but all of a sudden she really starts to struggle. I guess this is about the equivalent of how MGR started acting around the #15-#11 range after an impressive run up the chart for a new artist (and a female). My guess is that Kacey has a whole lot of radio stations behind her whose PDs were really impressed with her and strongly support her music, but there are some stations and PDs that dislike what she stands for, similarly to how divided stations were over Thomas Rhett's "Beer with Jesus," so, like BWJ, Kacey's songs start off strong and at first seem like they are making their way up the charts easily because they have a lot of strong supporters, but then the dissenting stations start to have their effect on her chart runs and she suddenly starts struggling and can barely get much further than where she was before she started struggling. I recall BWJ was extremely quick to make it to the top 20 and it seemed like a surefire hit, especially considering Thomas is a new artist and BWJ was only his second single, but then he almost hit a solid wall on the charts and just couldn't make it any further, barely managing to scrape by with a top 15 peak on Mediabase, all due to the controversy over the "blasphemous theme of his song." MGR was quite similar in that it didn't have too many slow weeks its entire run up the chart, but suddenly started to struggle really badly inside the top 15 and seemed to collapse after scraping the top 10, possibly due to the theme of the song. I hope "Blowin' Smoke" isn't similar to those two, but it seems that this may be the case. My guess is that Kacey's song will struggle very much for about a month and manage to pull of a minor top 20 peak. However, I am nowhere near ready to place any bets on this and certainly am not counting her out altogether yet. It's very common for new artists to spend months below the top 20 and still manage to get their singles into the top 10 on the charts. The advantage this song has is that it is not stalling in a range on the chart where it is already getting very high levels of airplay (like MGR) and so listeners do not get burnt out on it while it is having its slow weeks, so if Mercury sticks with "Blowin' Smoke" for a while longer, radio and listeners won't be exhausted and ready for new material by the time it starts to pick up and get more airplay.

I chalk the sudden struggle up to her being a new artist, and a female, and that it's just hurting her that there's a lot of competition on the chart and she's near the bottom of the pecking order (similar thing just happened w/ Jana's second single). I don't feel like this single is suffering a similar resistance as "Beer with Jesus." She just doesn't have the star power to overcome a crowded chart the way artists like Kenny Chesney have. And, this song is still pretty young, so as we can see with current hits from Brantley Gilbert and Brett Eldredge, that this could still tough it out awhile yet so long as it just doesn't collapse (which I doubt her label would allow).

Mercury records has probably put twice as much money promoting her than all the other artists on Mercury combined whether they have new music out or not. Mercury would spend their last penny on her if they had their way about it. I'm sure the single will come back by whatever means they have to take.

Mercury would spend their last penny on her if they had their way about it. I'm sure the single will come back by whatever means they have to take. There's really no evidence that suggests this. Kacey has done well based off her tremendous talent and hype, and the industry has taken notice. There's no doubt that Mercury Nashville has invested significant resources into her launch at radio, but to say that they've pushed her above all others is without proof. Ever since CRS 2012 there has been a lot of hype surrounding Kacey, and she backed it up with a critically-acclaimed album. She really has a unique style of her own, and that no doubt has made it easier for Mercury to market her. But you can bet that the label is trying with their other artists as well...it's just that no one can bat one thousand.

^^^ I agree. I certainly haven't seen more of a push for her than their other artists-in fact I think her hype/critical acclaim as well as consistently good album sales have propelled her to a much, much greater extent than label push. It is difficult for radio to ignore her- especially with even not so country publications giving her kudos. From Rolling Stone today: "Not surprisingly, one of the albums they picked was ‘Same Trailer Different Park‘ by Kacey Musgraves, which has been receiving critical accolades across the board as one of the year’s pivotal albums for its no-nonsense portrayal of rural America. According to Rolling Stone, " Reported by The Boot: theboot.com/rolling-stone-best-albums-2013/

She's sitting at #27 now this one has basically plateaued-out at the 8 million mark. I think low call-out scores are just holding this one back and it looks like Mercury is ready to pull the plug. It lucked out in getting to #23 but since then she's gotten passed by pretty much everyone, including the big names--FGL, Kenny, Jason, Taylor, Tim, Toby--but also Thomas Rhett, Chris Young, Charlie Worsham, and Craig Campbell. All of them have passed Kacey within the last several weeks and so I think it makes sense to give up on this and move on to something else. "Blowin' Smoke" just hasn't been able to hold its own against basically all those other songs in the same area on the chart. It really hasn't held its own against anybody, tbh. And that isn't good news when you're trying to climb the chart...if you get passed by songs that you had already passed, it's just bad news. And if you can't pass anyone after that, that's worse news.
They've got a new Rate The Music survey out for Kacey so I'm sure a new single will get rolled out sometime in August or September at the latest. The songs in the RTM survey are "Keep It To Yourself", "Step Off", "Silver Lining", and "My House".
I really don't know which of those is my favorite, as I like them all, but in terms of chances at radio, I think I'd put either "Keep It To Yourself" or "My House" at the top of the pile, followed closely by the other two. I'm not even sure how I'm gonna vote yet...I put "strongly like" for all of them but I don't know which to pick as my favorite now that I'm at the end, lol.

I said from the beginning that I didn't think Blowin' Smoke would be a good single choice, as much as I love Kacey. Unfortunately, I was right. Out of these songs, I'd say Silver Lining or Step Off should be next. Probably Silver Lining. If only they would release Follow Your Arrow. :'( A girl can dream.

"Follow Your Arrow" would not work at today's country radio, sadly. I think it would struggle to make the top 40. The only way I could see FYA becoming a big hit is if it were following in the heels of a really big hit, and "Blowin' Smoke" was not a big enough hit. I too was never completely sold on "Blowin' Smoke" as a single, though I do like it. I used to think "Silver Lining" would be the best single but after hearing these songs for the first time in a little while and knowing how BS did, I'm not sure. I actually picked "My House" as my preference on the survey, but I left good comments and the highest ratings for each song.

I cannot believe KITY is actually an option. After MGR and FYA, that is the other standout on the record. I'm perfectly fine with that or SL, but I don't find SL to be very radio friendly (even though it was my choice for single #2). i really think KITY could save the entire era. Even SO has grown on my significantly, but I'd rather not see that get released yet. MH burned on me pretty quickly though. That is now in my bottom 3, and I'd be disappointed if that was sent out

I would love them to release Keep It To Yourself. I put that as my favorite of the group on the RTM survey. After listening to those four songs on the survey again, I think that Step Off would be most radio-friendly. As much as I am completely partial to ballads, unfortunately, the rest of my teen demographic for country radio is not. So I think that Step Off would be a better choice, though I have no problem with Keep It To Yourself being released, because otherwise, it may never be heard. I sincerely hope that her next single finds success because with all the incredible buzz around her, not to mention fantastic music, it would be such a shame for the next single to flop.
I'm finally seeing Kacey live for the first time 8/3 on the Chesney tour. Spent $55 a ticket for terrible stadium nosebleeds, just for my friend and I to see Kacey. I love this girl and we can not let one underperforming single determine how well her next one will do.

Keep It to Yourself is my favorite song on the album and I'd love that as a single, but I don't think it's the best choice for radio, especially now that her momentum is down a lot. I think Silver Lining is the best single option they have right now and I hope they go with that. I could see that potentially returning her to the Top 20, and I don't see anything else on the album doing as well as that song would.

I'd be perfectly happy with either Silver Lining or Keep it to Yourself. I think they both more or less have an equal chance of success at radio... SL is perhaps the more "catchy" of the two, but both are easy on the ears.

Any of those 4 would be great choices (hell, any of the album would be). "Keep It To Yourself" is definitely the most radio friendly song on the album, so it may be best to go with that one. Its my 3rd favorite on the album behind MGR and "Arrow" so I'd be more than happy about that if its picked. "Silver Lining" (4th fav) would be my second choice. Lyrically its spectacular and is Kacey's signature sound, which may get it released.
As much as I love "Keep It To Yourself", its a song that you could find on any female country artist's album. Its the only song on the album that isn't distinctly Kacey, which may hurt its chances at being a single, but it still goes with Kacey's sound well and is a phenomenal song so I could definitely see UMG/Kacey picking it as the 3rd single.
On another note, shame on radio for not making this a bigger hit. I wish it would go top 20 at least, but that may not even happen now. Hopefully radio will still be interested in playing her 3rd single!

Something a lot of people can relate to and she sings it well.

I actually think that "Silver Lining" should've been second all along; I mean, "Blowin' Smoke" isn't bad by any means, but it lacked that hook which could've sparked some kind of interest rather than relying solely on unique lyrical content that something special to make it stand out in the crowd of country radio, most likely a catchier hook. That's jmo, of course. Although I wasn't as active in rooting for this during it's chart run, I, like many of you, are pretty disappointed that it couldn't eek out a top 20 peak, which would increase the likelihood of Kacey staying on the radio outside of MGR.

Despite this "only" peaking at #23, I'm not really worried about her radio presence. I think the industry knows that they have a true talent here. I hate to compare her to Miranda all the time, as I actually personally don't find them to be very similar artists, but in terms of early careers, I do think they could follow a similar track. Miranda didn't score a ton of big hits early on but she did have the critical acclaim. I don't think Kacey will have to wait as long to score another top 10 though.
Hopefully UMG can get Same Trailer Different Park an Album of the Year nomination at the CMA's. I see it's got an 88 on Metacritic, which is downright phenomenal. I really do think she'll be a Female Vocalist candidate, though I don't think she's ready to win yet (I wouldn't be completely surprised if she did, though). I just think her style of music needs to be heard, but it is at odds with a lot of the popular sounds on country radio today, so she and the label have their work cut out for them. Her 2 singles so far have placed rather low on some of the big Call-out surveys, yet they are selling well and the album has actually sold pretty well too. There's just a little bit of a disconnect with some of today's radio listeners and I think it may be because so many listeners are used to being beat over the head with pop/rock/country that so many of today's standard-bearers are releasing, which makes Kacey's brand of music sound a bit 'out-there' compared to that other stuff on radio. What today's listeners want to hear has gradually shifted but I think there is room for Kacey yet.
So perhaps a song like "Keep It To Yourself" would be the best bet, since it does seem like somewhat of a blend of a more popular topic with Kacey's style. As she continues to establish herself through the remainder of this album's run and into her next album, she can gradually get more and more 'artsy' with her songs and what she presents to radio. An A-list star might be able to release a riskier tune like "Follow Your Arrow" to radio and have it approach the top 10 but I don't think a newer artist like Kacey could pull that off yet at this point in her career, so I'll put myself in the KITY camp as well.
