This song is another great showcase for Lee's voice - but lyrically it's pretty weak and a bad first single choice. I'd be surprised if this breaks the top 10.

Awesome! Thanks! I met him at the CMA Festival in 2011 and he's the nicest guy ever!

I like this and expect to even more with every listen. Lee is the artist whose songs always have the highest chance of growing on me and not burning out (well, except Love Like Crazy, but I still enjoy it now that it isn't played 8 times a day). Not sure why that is-maybe the tone of his voice or just the sweet simplicity of his lyrics-seems like he often releases love songs as singles. And yes, thank goodness no Bro Country-even Parking Lot Party didn't bother me because it seemed to be done in a humorous fashion......vs a serious 'I'm gonna get drunk and laid' type of tone. Looking forward to hearing this on radio.

I could see this being a pretty popular wedding song - especially for guys (like myself) who can't/hate to dance. I really enjoy this song. I hope it does well for Lee!

Watched Lee live Friday with Luke Bryan, this song went over really well with the crowd (not nearly as well as "Drinking Class"). I think this song will do well. Lee has a good history of being able to get successful ballads on radio.

I'm not quite feeling this one yet. Going to be a slow grower for me. However, I do love hearing "Drinking Class" live. I can't wait to hear a studio version of that one.

I'm really not feeling this one and don't see it becoming that big of a hit. His last album was so good and all the singles were phenomenal except for the parking lot, but this one just bores me to tears. I hope it does well for Lee's sake because he's one of my favorite male vocalists, but I'm hoping for better material on the album.

I'm really liking this one a lot. Lee is a great vocalist. I like that this is a bit more restrained than some of his previous ballads. Glad to see it's doing decently, since Lee appears to be the only thing keeping the lights on at Curb right now.

I don't know if I'd say this is doing too decently considering all the momentum Lee had last album. Radio seemed to adore all four singles he released and I'd say he was one of their "favorite" B-listers. This one has actually been pretty slow to climb the charts despite strong sales and of course lead single hype. Lee's first two #1s took about 18-20 weeks to hit the top 10. This one is only at #27 after 10 weeks and Lee is coming off a streak of four top 10 songs. I'm pretty doubtful that this will go top 10. A peak around #15 seems more likely to me.

To each their own, but I think this is going to be a big hit. It's selling very well and it really stands out compared to what else is on radio these days. "I Don't Dance" is the type of song that we don't hear very much anymore--a slower, romantic ballad--but it looks to me like it's going to pay-off for Lee. I'll eat my shoe if I'm wrong, but I expect this to go at least top 10, if not #1. This may not be a rockin' uptempo song but I think it will be really appealing to the female demographics, and it's already becoming a pretty popular wedding song around here.

I love this and agree with jhomes87 that it's going to be a big hit. I think Lee has taken Tim McGraw's place in more ways than just Curb's main Artist. He's one of the few Male Artists that has released Excellent well written ballads that Stand Out on radio in the last few years.

This song is selling really well these days. Still seems to be moving up very slowly on the radio play charts. It's a little surprising after the success of his last album, the quality of this song, and the great sales.

It's a little surprising after the success of his last album, the quality of this song, and the great sales. I don't feel it's moving slowly at all. I actually think it's chart run is exactly what I expected. Lee's song has been on the charts for 12 weeks and sits at #26 on Billboard and #27 on Mediabase. "I Don't Dance" is a slow love song, so the fact it has gotten into the top 30 in about 10 weeks is pretty impressive I think, especially since it is Curb promoting this. Lee's last album really broke him out with three #1's and another top 10 with "Parking Lot Party" (#6). He's one of the few artists that country radio seems to really embrace with these type of songs ("Hard To Love", "I Drive Your Truck"). I was a bit worried before the adds date that "I Don't Dance" wouldn't be welcomed with arms wide open by country radio due to the good weather months approaching and the risk of getting lost in the shuffle (something I've been thinking of more and more as time goes on, especially since the "Bourbon In Kentucky" debacle), but it's proven to be a very popular song with the country audience. Certainly a prime candidate for the wedding song of 2014 which I'm sure was the thinking behind "I Don't Dance" not being released till the start of 2014 with a June-July peak in mind. I think when it's said and done, Lee will find himself with another top 5 hit. Hopefully he sticks with these kind of songs because I feel he is great at singing them.

I agree, Lee has a found a real nice niche for himself by singing these mid-tempo ballad type songs. I really like this song, especially because he wrote it for his wife, it seems to have real meaning to him. I'm just so sick of these long charting runs. Because of these long runs, we end up getting less singles from some great albums. It would be nice if a song by non A-listers could climb the charts in under 20 weeks.

I recently happened across this on the radio for the first time, and I definitely like this one. To date, his only hit that I've enjoyed is "Hard to Love," but Lee Brice finally put out another tune that I enjoy. I'm not keen on his voice and I've largely disliked his singles, but "I Don't Dance" is quite solid. I'm glad that this one looks like it's probably going to be massive, since I actually like it. The production on this is spot-on perfect, and I love the build towards the end of the song. And I definitely admit that it's great vocally and lyrically as well. I'm certainly looking forward to hearing this more on the radio.

In a day and age where I'm always trigger happy with the radio dial when a new song is about to come on (Thomas Rhett, Brantley Gilbert, and FGL I'm looking at you), this is such a welcome contrast. I agree on the production that .indulgecountry brought up; it's perfect IMO. Certainly my favorite of Lee's since "Hard To Love" and is right up there with "Hard To Love" and "Happy Endings" as my absolute favorites of his thus far.

This song seems to be moving rather slow on the airplay chart given how well it's selling.

This song seems to be moving rather slow on the airplay chart given how well it's selling. Agreed, but I do think it will pick up and I think this song will still be a really big hit (at least top 5, probably a #1). I think the issue could be that radio stations are so unused to dealing with Curb's promotion team, because Curb never has any singles this high on the chart. And so I think that the relationship that Curb staffers have with radio suffers as a result (they don't work with radio as often as all the other labels do), which causes them to lose a bit of momentum. That's just how I read the situation, though. There's also the fact that Lee is competing with several other fairly high-profile releases right now. Really none of those songs in the 20's appear ready to give up, aside from the Sara Evans and Hunter Hayes tunes.

However this is Lee Brice and he's coming off a pretty good year of momentum with one of the biggest songs last year. I know he's not a Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton but I just feel like the fact that he sent out a ballad is hurting him and radio doesn't really want to play it despite the sales. If nothing else, Curb has seemed to really do a great job with Lee Brice and his career.

If nothing else, Curb has seemed to really do a great job with Lee Brice and his career. I think you might me missing my point :) Curb has indeed done very well with Lee Brice...but the promo teams for other labels are working with radio year-round on multiple artists, and Curb's promoters really only work with radio when Lee has a hit out, and thus I think that hurts Curb's momentum because their staffers aren't brown-nosing with radio as much as the staffers at MCA, Arista, Big Machine, etc. But I still don't have any doubts about this one. It's all over the radio here and I think it's going to be a huge hit. In the long run, one slow week isn't going to hurt this. Lee is more than capable of spending 30-35 weeks on the chart if need be, and if this does spend that long on the chart, it will probably help the 2nd single to climb faster. One thing to be said about Curb--they don't give up on songs. They stuck with "Love Like Crazy" forever and it paid dividends for them. They did that with a couple of other hits too including Clay Walker's "She Won't Be Lonely Long".

This song seems to be moving rather slow on the airplay chart given how well it's selling. What a difference a few weeks can make, huh? This (^) was on Sunday May 18, and the next day Lee wrapped up the week by posting a gain of only 380k on Billboard. IDD was at #25, having been passed by George, Eric Paslay, and Dustin Lynch. But then the next week, a big 2.9 million gain and a move from 25-18, re-passing a couple of songs. And this past week a huge 4.1 million gain and a move up to #15. This one is now finally looking like a future #1 hit. It's a long ways (6 million) behind #14 Brad, and I'm not sure if Lee can go up ahead of Brad and/or Joe, but I think Lee will either eventually pass Craig Campbell and The Band Perry, or they'll go recurrent before he can catch them. And once we see a few more top 10 songs start to drop, Lee will benefit tremendously. His bullet on Mediabase is still a whopping 639 as of today. Simply put, this song has gone from moving very slowly to being red hot in the span of 2 weeks.

I think Lee is at his best when he sticks to mid-tempo and slow ballads like this song. Some of the song titles on his next album concern me, especially Drinking Class, Girls in Bikkinis, and Panama City. Sounds very frat boyish...

"Watching girls in bikinis is like watching a slinky walk down the stairs, you can't help but stare" A lyric from "Girls In Bikinis". Co-written with Lee by Thomas Rhett. Lee performed this during CMA fest. So you're worries are confirmed with at least one of those songs.

I heard "Drinking Class" live this year and it was a pretty solid tune, more of a working class salute than frat boy. Went over very well with the crowd.
