This ballad should get DR more recognition than the junk Artista tried feed us a few months back ("Can't You Tell"), but I'm still not sure it'll be enough to get the guys into the top 20.

Sounds pretty decent for something from them.

[Zazie]

I think this will make a strong run at the top 10. "Stuff" crashed hard but they came back with a #1 song; That's Just That didn't make the top 40 but they came back with 2 more #1's. Maybe they're history, but I don't think so.

[musicbuff78]

I think they are.

People said that after 'Stuff' flopped, but they came back and have had 3 #1s since then. DR is one of the best *musical* talents we have. I love their harmonies and it would be great to see them still around. There is a serious lack of popular country groups these days.

[musicbuff78]

That made a HUGE mistake by not releasing their duet with Chely Wright called I'm Trying.

[smack]

yes, they are definitely one of the best harmonizing groups of all time of all formats! I wish they'd have more sucess though.

That was an exceptional performance. And songs written by Darrell Scott are a cut above almost everything else out there, whether they are released to radio or simply left on the album for buyers to enjoy. Because Darrell is never going to have hit records with his own performances, I'm always glad to see his music recorded by big radio stars.

i'm rooting for this one....a lot on personal reasoning.

i love the song and I think DR did it justice. I'm hoping to does really really well for them.

Song in full from All Access.

After one listen, I don't like this too much. It may grow on me, but right now I think it's a little boring.

i have heard 'one believer' on the radio and at a show and thought it was very very good. can not wait to hear it more on the radio and watch it go up on the charts. it's alot better then some of the songs on the radio and up at the top of the charts right now.

that is just my thoughts on things.

best.

Radio has a tendency to take acts that have been around a long time for granted. After all, it's easy to get excited about the next big thing. Let's hope this fine single will receive the attention it so deserves. Since Diamond Rio debuted in 1991 with the chart-topper "Meet in the Middle," it has continuously served up great material, characterized by stellar musicianship, excellent songs and Marty Roe's potent lead vocals. "One Believer" continues that tradition. Penned by Mike Reid, Don Pfrimmer and Marc Beeson, the lyric is an affecting testament to the power of love to buoy the human spirit. While the production is crisp, the highlight is the gorgeous harmonies. When those voices blend and soar, it'll give you chills. This previews the band's forthcoming Arista set and demonstrates that, like a fine wine, a talented outfit like this just gets better with age.—DEP

TEXTCould anyone tell me how "One Believer" is doing on the country industry? Are the radio stations going to add this song soon?

How can fans help with getting the song added and played more?

[OhMan0810]

Can anyone please tell me WHY this song is NOT going up the charts and WHY radio is not adding it??

Maybe someone can also tell me how the fans can help other the keep requesting it. The station I listen too has not added it and it seems WILL NOT BE DOING SO SOON and I'm in Nashville and you would figure they might do it faster.

There are lots of songs out there right know that have God, Faith and good things like that in it and this one is a great song has lots of meaning and can't get it played.

PLEASE HELP A Fan of Diamond Rio's...
Thank you

[OhMan0810]

OK,
Could someone please tell me what happened to this song . I'm so so so sad that it didn't go up the charts.

Can anyone tell me please?

When are they going to release another song. I sure hope soon. Anyone know what it might be? Please Help me understand whats going on?

I hope Arista does them GOOD here soon.

The song reached a peak position of #43 on the daily R&R / Mediabase chart on Tuesday, April 5th. It had 305 spins that day. The largest audience figures for it were 2.1 million.

I believe the highest it ever got on R&R's weekly chart is #44.

It lost its bullet on April 18th and never recovered. :(

I don't have a Billboard peak position.
