Just heard DYTAM on a radio station here in the Phiippines! Please let this be a sign. I stood in place until it was finished. It sounded so good on the radio.

^Yes, in my opinion, See You Again is in the bottom tier of quality songs on the Blown Away album. I actually think the singles from Carrie's first two albums were nearly perfect. Some Hearts was an excellent 1-2-3-4 punch (Some people may say Don't Forget To Remember Me was a wrong choice, but I think it did really well, following up the massive debut single Jesus, Take The Wheel, which is never easy to do. It had a similar sound that helped bridge the gap between Jesus and Cheats, and then Wasted was an incredible 4th single choice. Personally, I'm glad that Starts With Goodbye was left as an album track. In my opinion, it was way too pop/AC leaning for country radio, especially at that time. Maybe it wouldn't be now, but then, I think it was. And I never really liked that song too much). Carnival Ride's five singles were also pretty much spot-on. I agree that Flat on the Floor could have been a hit, and I was originally slightly disappointed when I Told You So was released over that song, but I'm glad that song was released because it was different. Floor may have reached #1 on Billboard chart where I Told You So failed, but the latter would be (is) more memorable. The last two albums have been where Carrie has went wrong with some singles. The first two Play On singles were great. I wasn't a fan of Undo It as the 3rd single (although it performed and sold well), but I figured it would be okay as long as the two gems were released as the 4th and 5th singles. Not the case (I do agree with you that What Can I Say would have been better with another male lead vocalist, perhaps Chris Young or Keith Urban. The live version of the song was awful with that guy singing, but the recorded version was good. Carrie's vocals, the lyrics, and the production were incredible). Now, Blown Away is shaping up to be similar. The first two singles were great. Two Black Cadillacs did well, but I think it was too similar to Blown Away to be released, especially right after Blown Away! And, then that is followed up with See You Again. I would agree that Carrie makes the decisions, but I remember Carrie once said that Someday When I Stop Loving You was her favorite song on the Play On record, but it wasn't released. Maybe she does though... I agree about the SH singles; even if "DFTRM" was a big step down in popularity, it helped affirm her image at the time and was a bridge into "BHC." It served its purpose. The CR singles were fine, but I would have preferred "Flat On The Floor" over "Last Name." I also wish "The More Boys I Meet" had been a 6th single. Yeah the PO singles were poor for the most part. How "Quitter" and "Someday When I Stop Loving You" never saw the light of day I will never understand. I think the first three BO singles were perfect. Even if TBC under-performed slightly, it was loved by critics and by most who heard it. It raised her credibility. Where they really stumbled was with "SYA." It isn't country at all, really, and it isn't different enough to at least be a great song ("Blown Away" isn't really country but is so good people didn't care). Hopefully a 5th single is pushed, and it's something that brings her back to her country roots.

Nevertheless, she'll crack the top ten later this week as Jake Owen proceeds towards going recurrent on Sunday; Brad goes recurrent the following Sunday, but Carrie will undoubtedly pass him later this week or definitely early next week.
I also hope single #5, assuming we get one, winds up being much closer to country music than her first four singles from this CD.

While this wasn't my favorite choice at first, I'm really liking it lately. And apparently it's starting to pick up on radio again.

Carrie's co-hosting AAC with Kix Brooks this weekend and is also going to be the first celebrity host of After MidNite on August 1 and 2 after Blair Garner steps down on July 31. Those gigs will also help in some pick-up.

It's kind of a shame Carrie only gets to host After MidNite for two shows, whereas the other celebrities each get a week.
This song has certainly picked up and should have a nice conversion week next week. I'd say it should be a sure fire #1 on both charts. Keith and Easton are no longer a threat and Carrie may even regain her lead over Brett. If she doesn't, though, she will still get her week. There's no way "Don't Ya" is going to block SYA.

still think they should've went with One Way Ticket or Good in Goodbye. Any news on the next single?
edit: NO to DYTAM. She doesn't need that mediocrity to keep tarnishing her single success streak.

Not sure if Carrie has time to take a full week out of her schedule to host a radio show when she has training, rehearsing, etc. for "The Sound of Music" this fall. Pretty sure she said she's moving to NYC soon for the rest of 2013 to stay local and work on the project, so Carrie will be pretty hush-hush these next few months after SYA peaks. still think they should've went with One Way Ticket or Good in Goodbye. Any news on the next single? edit: NO to DYTAM. She doesn't need that mediocrity to keep tarnishing her single success streak. No word on another single, and I'm thinking that there may not even be one. It'd be smart to have one since she will be, like I said above, very quiet because of the musical and she's still got plenty of steam and room to work off of this album. Personally, I'm hoping "Wine After Whiskey" is released as the 5th single. I don't think DYTAM is going to get released since she cut it from the second half of her tour and it's not even included on the tour DVD coming out in August. Granted, WAW and "Good in Goodbye" aren't, either, but if they're releasing a 5th single, either of those 2 would be the smartest choices to close out the era. DYTAM would be another smart one imo, but I think the ship for the song's release has sailed, along with "One Way Ticket" and "Nobody Ever Told You" (thank da lawd). "Leave Love Alone" could be another option -- Country to the core, upbeat, and a big shift from the one-two-three-four KO singles she's released thus far. Weird for me to think that this era is almost over already. Flew by. It seems like it was just a month or two ago that we were all up in arms over Arista being too incompetent to properly function a countdown clock for "Good Girl"'s debut.

She had to be thrilled to be asked to host 'After Midnite' in the first place, and undoubtedly would have been delighted to do a full week if not for her impending move to NYC for 'TSOM'.
I'm sure she'll do a superb job and have a blast, since you never know who'll be calling the show to surprise her, given her tons of friends within the industry.
Any announcement on a fifth single if we get one won't be announced until after Labor Day.

I always forget about "Wine After Whiskey" when doing the singles discussion, but it's one of my top 3 faves from the album. It'd be great if i could get a release, I see tons of awards coming in for that song.

She continues her steady rise up the charts as well as on the year-to-date spins list; she should rise to #3 by a week from Sunday, with only Randy & Hunter between her # the penthouse.
Three of the six songs currently ahead of her are losing their spins; she should pass Luke Bryan by this weekend, or very early next week before he goes recurrent at Mediabase a week from Sunday.

Great to see that this song should have a promising ending. It sold 32k this week, bringing its total to 446k. It'll be Gold around the same time that it'll be #1.

She won't be #1 yet a week from Sunday. She's still a few weeks from the top. Kip will finish this week at #1, and then I could see Randy and Hunter dividing 3 weeks among themselves. I'm predicting SYA to finish at #1 for the week ending August 25.

My prediction is that Carrie will reach #1 the week ending August 18, unless Brett Eldredge's "Don't Ya" gets to the top before SYA, which doesn't seem likely at this point. Carrie passed Brett on Mediabase several days ago and is now posting much stronger daily gains on MB than him. "Don't Ya" was still ahead of SYA on Billboard Monday, but only by a mere 542k audience impressions, and Carrie gained 612k audience impressions more on that chart than Brett last week, so she should definitely be ahead by next Monday's Billboard chart.
Randy Houser and Hunter Hayes have big hits on their hands, but neither seems like multi-week #1 material to me, mainly because almost no songs get multiple weeks at #1 on Mediabase anymore, so I can't see a song from a new artist like Hunter Hayes or an artist who just scored his first #1 like Randy Houser becoming the fifth song to get multiple weeks at #1 on Mediabase this year. The sizely audience gap between "I Want Crazy" and "See You Again"/"Don't Ya" on both charts should be taken into consideration, though. I do think that Carrie will manage to close that gap in the three and a half weeks and manage to claim the throne on August 18th and 19th, but I do see the possibility that Carrie could be stalled one more week. "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" and "I Want Crazy" are both huge digital hits and appear to be still posting large gains despite being so high in audience. I can see Randy getting #1 on both charts next weekend (August 4th and 5th) and then staying at #1 for most of the following week and managing to get a second week at #1 on the Mediabase chart on August 11th. Hunter could split that week with Randy and get the Billboard #1 that Monday (August 12th). By that point, Hunter will probably be posting small gains (similarly to "Done" was this past week) and Carrie will have pretty much closed the gap, but songs never settle for a Billboard-only #1, so I'm sure in this scenario Hunter's label would call for maximum airplay and "I Want Crazy" would get its first week at #1 on Mediabase August 18th and possibly its second week at #1 on Billboard the next day, depending on how close Carrie gets.

I stick to my prediction that Randy will get at least 2 weeks. I'm not going by Mediabase--I never do. I'm talking about Billboard, and I think Randy will get 2 weeks or maybe even 3. Hunter is his only obstacle. IWC and ROM are the top 2 country songs on iTunes right now and I think Houser's team at Stoney Creek will push for as many weeks as possible, especially since we have news that "Wherever Love Goes" is gonna be treated as a Kristy Lee Cook single, so the next Houser solo single might not come out until sometime in September. Kip Moore is the co-host on CC-USA this weekend and Hunter will be co-hosting next weekend but I don't think Stoney Creek will want to wait another week to make their move on #1 with Randy. If they wanted to they could've probably challenged Kip and made a play for #1 already by the end of this week, but all signs point towards this week going to Kip. Randy has a chance to get a few weeks at the top and "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" has been one of the biggest-selling songs of the year--it's a much bigger hit than "How Country Feels" was. Hunter's song is selling like hot cakes too but the one thing that's working against him is, once again, call-out. I'm sure Warner Music Nashville will make a push for #1 with Hunter but I don't really see Randy backing off so he could wind up getting 2-3 weeks and maybe blocking Hunter but it's possible for Randy to get 2 weeks and Hunter to get 1 still. After those two I think it will be Carrie. IF (and that's a big if still) Eldredge lasts long enough to challenge for #1, it'll be after Carrie. I don't think there's any way that Arista Nashville will let a 40+ week old Eldredge tune put SYA in jeopardy. SYA is moving up strongly now and asserting itself over the Eldredge tune and I expect it to stay that way--Carrie 1st, Brett 2nd. But Brett may eventually run out of steam and be caught by Keith Urban, whereas Carrie's chances of topping the chart look pretty darn good now. Not including this week, Carrie will probably need another 7-8 million to have a #1-worthy total, which will probably be somewhere around 44 million, given the expanded Billboard panel and a general increase in airplay for the top-played songs. I'm sure she'll have more than 36 million, maybe close to 37 million at the end of this week, so she'll have 4 weeks to gain the remaining ~7 million. That seems reasonable to me, since songs usually slow up a bit at the end. Of course, she could get to #1 as early as the 18th like you say, churchchoir. I'm not saying that's impossible, because it certainly is within reach. I'm just saying I expect 3 weeks to be divided between Randy and Hunter. I think Hunter's team obviously wants the #1 but I also have a hunch that Houser's team wants multiple weeks. The good news for Carrie is that those two are far enough ahead that she doesn't have to worry about either of them blocking her. And Carrie seems very likely to stay ahead of Keith Urban now, so really her only competition is Brett Eldredge and I don't expect Arista Nashville to lose out to him. Brett could still last long enough to get to #1 but I don't think it will be at the expense of Carrie.

I wrote that she should rise to #3 at Mediabase week from Sunday on the Carriefans board, which is what I meant in this case. Sorry about that.

I definitely hope this gets to #1. I knew since attending the Blown Away Listening Party last year that this would be one of my favorite songs from the album, but I never expected it to grow on me this much. I actually think it's in my top 5 favorite Carrie songs of all-time. I wasn't a big fan of the idea of this being a single, because I don't think it's very country. But I'm glad it did get a release because it's given the song the exposure it deserves, and pretty much everyone I know that hears this song loves it.
I do hope they release "Wine After Whiskey" as the 5th single. Even if she doesn't have time to fully promote it or shoot a video for it, I hope the label at least gives it an official release to country radio...yes, I realize that no promotion/video may end her Top 2 streak...but I almost think it's worth it if it means this song gets to be played on the radio.

Brett could still last long enough to get to #1 but I don't think it will be at the expense of Carrie. My only concern is that, since Hunter is co-hosting next weekend, he will have to do his final #1 push sometime very soon. I agree that I doubt Randy is going to yield to Hunter and allow him to jump ahead to #1, but, in that case, Hunter will already be reaching #1 a week later than he "should" according to the co-hosts schedule and will post a big loss from the countdown airplay the Monday after Randy gets #1. If Randy gets multiple weeks at #1, Hunter will not be able to hold out that long and will surely run out of steam before reaching #1, so "I Want Crazy" can't wait around for much longer. I realize that songs don't always have to do a final push the week the artist co-hosts Country Countdown USA, but it will become very difficult for Hunter to hold out several weeks after the push while Randy Houser spends multiple weeks at #1. For this reason, I expect Houser and Hayes to each get one week at #1, and Carrie will be posting huge gains for the next three weeks, so by the time Hunter is ready to step down from the throne, Carrie will be close behind him in audience and shouldn't have much trouble getting to #1. It seems very possible seeing the enormous audience gains SYA has been posting all week. I just really don't think record labels prioritize multiple weeks at #1 highly anymore. This is mainly because most multi-week #1 songs are on the Billboard chart only and it is almost impossible to get a second week at #1 on the Mediabase chart, which is the chart all the countdown shows use and the chart record labels seem to care most about. If a song does manage to get two weeks at #1 on Mediabase, it must fight very hard for the second week (like "Highway Don't Care") or benefit from the next song in line for #1 being significantly below it in spins and audience (like "Downtown" and "Crash My Party"). Songs that get multiple weeks at #1 on Billboard usually only get additional weeks at #1 because they jump ahead of a slightly weaker #1 contender at the "last minute," and the weaker #1 contender only gets to #1 on Mediabase, while the bigger hit gets #1 on Billboard that week. Therefore, the label has to keep pushing the song for another week so it can top Mediabase, and consequentially the song gets an extra week at #1 on Billboard. (For example, "Sure Be Cool If You Did" leap-frogged ahead of "Two Black Cadillacs" at the last minute and Blake stole Carrie's week at #1 on Billboard only, so Blake's label had to push the song another week to top Mediabase. Therefore, "Sure Be Cool If You Did" also got a second week at #1 on Billboard. Most multi-week Billboard #1 hits have had a similar situation to this, with a few exceptions, such as the ones referenced earlier.) "Moonlight" isn't that far ahead of "Crazy" in audience, so even if it falls pretty slowly the week after reaching #1, it will not take much for Hunter's record label to push him ahead and get to #1. I don't think this will be a Mediabase-only #1 situation for Hunter. The big hits seem to always find their way to #1 on Billboard, unless they are from female artists. :'( Even the huge hit from Blake Shelton "Boys 'Round Here" only got one week at #1, because there were so many other huge hits in the top 5 at the time. (Granted, Blake probably would have also been #1 the week before if Big Machine didn't fight so hard to keep "Highway Don't Care" at the top.) In short, I think this will be a situation where two big hits have to walk away with only one week at the top each, but Houser's song will probably have a slower decent than Hayes, which, unfortunately, no one will notice. I'm pretty sure the only three songs this year that have been pushed for extra weeks at #1 after topping the Mediabase chart are "Goodbye in Her Eyes", "Highway Don't Care," and 'Crash My Party," so it seems unlikely that Stoney Creek will care too much about fighting for extra time at #1 for "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" when it has already become such a massive hit. I'm not sure if it's necessary to fight for a second week at #1 to prove that "Moonlight" is a massive hit, and, actually, such a stunt might hurt Randy's single in the long run if it burns much faster than it would have after only getting one week at the top and gets much less recurrent airplay. It's entirely possible that Stoney Creek could approach this situation ambitiously and aggressively, but I don't really see it as a wise or necessary move, and I don't know if they would be able to keep Hunter from passing Randy even if they tried, as "I Want Crazy" is also a huge hit.

Yeah, its definitely picked back up steam the last 2 weeks and moved to #4 on Mediabase this week. After Randy is done at #1, Hunter will likely get a week and then Carrie should be right after him. 3-4 more weeks until it hits #1 most likely.

Moves up 3 spots this week to land at #4. Her carrying out her Top 2 streak is basically a given, but I'm holding out on betting at a #1 because it seems like every time that's happened this era, something else happens that obstructs it (or, at the very least, threatens it enough to send everyone into a tizzy, which, granted, doesn't take much for Carrie fans, lol). "Good Girl" almost got stomped by "Springsteen", "Blown Away" was heading for some massive time atop Country Songs until the Billboard change occurred a mere day or two before she was going to take over, and "Two Black Cadillacs" was bombarded by "Sure Be Cool if You Did". I know there's nothing major threatening SYA, but I'm just keeping my mouth shut this time around.

"Blown Away" was heading for some massive time atop Country Songs until the Billboard change occurred a mere day or two before she was going to take over I'm a bit confused. The change did occur then, but just prior to it, Hot Country Songs was airplay-only at the time, and when they created the new chart, the old chart didn't go away...it was just renamed. "Blown Away" did get its 2 weeks at #1 on Country Airplay, but I don't see how that's massive time atop the chart (not saying a 2-week stay isn't impressive though). Anyway, what I'm saying is that, had the chart change happened in January instead, BA would've still only gotten 2 weeks atop Hot Country Songs. But otherwise I agree. I'm still a little upset about the situation with "Two Black Cadillacs", since I think that one could've gotten its week at #1 on Billboard pretty easily, but Arista didn't really manage their window of time that well with that one. The same thing happened with Miranda's "Mama's Broken Heart" and probably the clearest example is this week, with Kip Moore losing out to Randy Houser when Kip probably could've gotten the BB #1 just as easily. MCA simply ignored Billboard, though.

In hindsight, I wonder if the few weeks of this song slowing down were only due to Arista focusing their attention on "Beat This Summer" and possibly asking stations to keep SYA out of heavy rotation so they could give more heavy rotation spins to Brad. The only thing is, Brad didn't really struggle too much during his run (maybe a few slow days around the top 5). Not sure about this, but it seems that with how well SYA is doing now, it would have been pretty strange for the song to just have a few random weeks of struggling around the #12-#11 range and otherwise an amazing chart run.

Carrie Underwood, "See You Again": 28k (474k) Gold next week!? With her hosting ACC with Kix Brooks and with SYA hitting the final tier of the radio airplay chart, it should sell enough to cross Gold. It only needs to sell 26k, which seems very doable since it's been in the ~30k range for the past few weeks.
