A DJ alluded to "Gonna Wanna Tonight" being the next single, and Chase has used that hashtag a few times recently on Twitter. How thrilling. Not. :( Yeah I would be surprised if "Gonna Wanna Tonight" wasn't the next single. I have to be honest though, despite being about the same f****n' topic as a 100 songs this year so far, I actually do like "Gonna Wanna Tonight". His voice sounds much better on that one the "Ready Set Roll", which I can't stand. I would actually look forward to hearing GWT on the radio. "Beach Town" was pretty good too when I listened to the album.

Was he really serious in stating 'I'm an innovator????'
Is this tempermental hothead really THAT delusional about his status in the realm of country music?

He is getting too big for his britches. I WAS a fan when I discovered him on Survivor all those years ago. His cocky attitude is a total turn off :(

He couldn't be further from an innovator lmao. He won't get very far with an attitude, especially when his music (at least IMO) is among the most generic stuff out there.

I believe he was referring to his record label situation, where he's an independent who financed his own promotion and recording but is still signed to a label to release. It's something like that. Basically he has complete freedom to record whatever he wants and gets final say on all singles. So in that sense he is a little unique, although I agree, I wouldn't use the term innovator.

I am not really a fan of Chase, but I think I see where he's going. He's playing up the "bad guy" image. He cusses in a lot of his songs, he makes inflammatory remarks, and does things generally not the norm for Country music. I think it's more for show. The same way Eric Church has made the "Chief/Outsider" image for himself. Rice has made himself the guy you love to hate, now whether that is a recipe for success in Country music remains to be seen, but bad news is still news and if he is able to keep himself in the news, he'll remain on radio imo.

It's definitely better to have some fans be extremely passionate about you (but others hate you) than it is to be middle of the road, where everyone just thinks your ok. "Ready Set Roll" has sold really well considering the airplay it's gotten, and he's going to have a top 5 album debut on Billboard, so it appears there is a loyal fam base for him right now.

It'll be the same thing with Sam Hunt too. That dude (Hunt) had all 4 EP tracks in the Top 31 of the digital singles sales report. It's certainly an interesting time for "Country" music...

But on the flipside you have FGL, Blake, Pardi, Houser, Farr, Paslay and Jake Owen releasing definite country songs. Like you said, certainly an interesting time.

Thanks goodness Randy Houser doesn't sound like anybody else out there; 'Runnin' Outta Moonlight' was certainly among my very favorite songs of 2013 from a downright wonderful CD and among the biggest hits of the 2nd half of 2013, and although it's crawling up the charts, I expect 'Like A Cowboy' to do very well on the charts, even if it takes 30+ weeks to finish its chart run.
Rice's 'bad boy' image definitely needs to be toned down a lot; if he'd stated 'I'm an imitator', he'd have a point.

I'll admit I'm not a fan of Chase's music, but this song is a tad better than Ready Set Roll. I find myself singing along to RSR, but something about the beginning just sets a sour tone for me throughout the song. Not to mention that the song is really about nothing at all.
Although I guess as I'm writing this I realize that Gonna Wanna Tonight is really about nothing too. I wish more songs were stories or topics like they used to be, and not just one-day conversations with members of the opposite sex.

Officially Top 10 today on Mediabase, and possibly on Billboard tomorrow. Very sad days for country radio.

Yeah, I'm pretty much done with country radio now since this "experimental" doo-dad is officially a hit. I do not want to party anymore and songs like this just reinforce that image about life being a party. Ugh. I'll start picking and choosing what I like from this point on, even if I'm too busy to do so. Radio as an means of entertainment can evaporate into thin air by the New Year for all I care now.

Chase lost over 200k in audience in today's MB update, which could be an indication that this song is finally done, now that the label has gotten it into the top 10. Can't say for sure yet though, but I am hoping to see this song fall even more this week. It is an instant station-changer.

Hopefully Carrie/Miranda passed him today, and took the top 10 spot on Billboard! This song's so bad it doesn't even have a chance to drive me crazy - I change the station before any long term damage can be done. I have the Miami (FL) vs. Louisville game on in my room though, and about an hour ago, this "thing" started to play going into a commercial break. I had to turn the channel til I knew the coast was clear. Why ESPN, why.

Congrats to Chase on this finally getting top ten! I can definitely see Gonna Wanna Tonight following this, and hopefully Jack Daniels and Jesus after.

Sure wouldn't want to see this song disappear so fast from the chart -- in fact, I'd like it even better if every song that made the chart at all were guaranteed a 50-week run. Yes, that would be perfect. Maybe 60 weeks would be even better.

Yes, that would be perfect. Maybe 60 weeks would be even better. Yep. Looks like wishful thinking on my part. I keep expecting each passing week to be the week that Chase/Columbia Nashville throw in the towel, and this week seemed like a good week since they got the #10 spot. Moreover, it makes more sense to me that Sony Nashville would want to focus more on "Somethin' Bad", considering that it's on the cusp of the top 10 and it has the highest bullet of any song in that 10-20 range on Mediabase (aside from "Day Drinking"). All of the songs in the teens are moving very slowly because all of the spins are going to top 10 songs, so here I thought we would see the label pull the plug on a 40+ week-old song in favor of one with much more promise and #1 potential, but it still hasn't happened yet. I guess there's always next week..?

I guess there's always next week..? They're going to at least push for one more week to secure up the Billboard top 10 spot, though I'm not sure if Dierks will lose enough for them to get there. Miranda/Carrie actually leaped this song on Billboard this week. I remember reading a while back Chase said they weren't going to stop with this song until it reached #1, or something like that, so I wouldn't get your hopes up lol But I agree, i'm sick of hearing this song, it wasn't even good in the first place.

That's definitely another thing that could come into play here--this song might not act like the typical 42 week-old song, because it's changed promotional labels 3 times (from self-promoted by Dack Janiels, then to RPM and then to Columbia), and because Chase has complete control of this. Columbia Nashville will likely continue to promote this song as long as Chase wants them to (I'm sure they're getting some of the income he's making), so there's really no telling how long this one will hang around. I am thinking it'll come up short of #1, though, but it may last for a while yet..

Officially top ten at Billboard, making this the third slowest-climbing top ten song in the chart's history.

The very real possibility of this excruciating tune winding up #1 for the year at Billboard is downright horrifying, thanks to 42 weeks on the chart and no end in sight.

As long as thing songs lasts a few more weeks, and gets top 3 or so, I don't see how it won't end up #1 for the year. It's been charting for the whole year, and has slowly worked its way up the charts.

It cannot possibly take the top spot.
Based on [low] estimates: The current number one has >890 Mio listener impressions [Jason Aldean: "When She Says Baby"] :) Runner-Up: Brett Eldredge: "Beat Of The Music": >860 Mio Listener Impressions "Ready Set Roll" is just denting the Top 50 with >290 Mio Listener Impressions
With about 14 weeks to go: Chase Rice must be netting >40 Mio. per week every week in order to reach the yearly (calendar) pole. Highly improbable

I imagine that RSR will chart decently well on the year-end lists, but it had way too many low-audience weeks on the chart to finish really high. Like trebor said, it would need to last quite a bit longer and have a really strong top 10 run, and I just don't think that's likely. It's still gaining well right now but it has a pretty high burn-rate, so I don't think this is going to be able to climb too much higher.

Those AIs for the tunes by Brett & Jason can't possibly be that close together can they, since Brett's tune spent at least 12 weeks more on the charts than Jason's did after he went recurrent in late March, and most in the top 15 or higher?

trebor, I don't believe that Billboard counts recurrent airplay in their year-end charts. I'm about 98% sure on that. Mediabase does, but Billboard doesn't. Also, they go by the chart year of December through November, rather than the calendar year of January through December. So the first chart to be tabulated for the 2014 year-end list would be the charted dated December 7, 2013, and the last chart to be included will be the November 29, 2014 chart. Recurrent airplay will probably push a song like "When She Says Baby" toward the higher parts of Mediabase's year-end chart, but beginning with the April 12 chart, none of those numbers will count on Billboard's year-end list.
