I don't see any reason why FGL can't be #1 @ Mediabase by the end of this week, since I do expect Luke's tune to start tumbling on Tuesday and lose a minimum of 400 spins this week (Thomas Rhett lost over 700 after he reached the penthouse, so my guess could be somewhat conservative) which will pave the way for FGL to easily rise to #1 @ Mediabase next week, even if they do start losing spins at a very moderate pace while still staying ahead of Brett & Miranda through the end of the week. Like I thought, this is going to miss out on #1. It loses 80 spins and more than half a mil in audience on MB today. Thus, FGL is unable to set the record of scoring 5 straight #1's to start a career. Instead, it's 4 straight #1's and a #2. Did you hear that? That was the sound of me popping a cork. ;)

This missing out on #1 is going to hurt their egos very badly. I hardly doubt it will. I am sure that the duo and Borchetta and everyone at BMLG would've liked to tout the record of "5 straight radio #1's" to open FGL's career, but in reality they can (and will) call this a #1 because it was #1 for a couple of weeks on Hot Country Songs. They just can't call this a radio #1 and therefore can't claim the "5 airplay #1's to start a career" record.

I don't know if Rodney Crowell follows the charts nowadays, but on his behalf I, at least, am happy that FlaGa couldn't manage to get 5 #1's from one album. That, along with #1's at the start of a career, looked all set for FlaGa to claim as an impressive pair of records -- but no, apparently not.
I'm in a much better mood now. Lee Ann Womack and Sunny Sweeney, George Strait, all kinds of good things are happening. I hate to root against anybody but sometimes I have to.

This missing out on #1 is going to hurt their egos very badly. I'd expect a Twitter rant from the duo, but this isn't Chase Rice we're talking about. I doubt they're too upset about a #2.

Best starts in country music:
1. Donna Fargo-She released singles in the 1960s, none charted. However, her first five charted singles hit the top two: a. The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A.-1972-#1-chart wise, her biggest hit b. Funny Face-1972-#1 c. Superman-1973-#1 d. You Were Always There-1973-#1 e. Little Girl Gone-1973-#2 2. Florida Georgia Line a. Cruise-2012-#1 b. Get Your Shine On-2013-#1 c. 'Round Here-2013-#1 d. Stay-2014-#1-chart wise, their biggest hit e. This Is How We Roll-with Luke Bryan-2014-#2 3. Clint Black a. A Better Man-1989-#1 b. Killin' Time-1989-#1 c. Nobody's Home-1990-#1-chart wise, his biggest hit d. Walkin' Away-1990-#1 e. Nothing's News-1990-#3 4. Brooks & Dunn a. Brand New Man-1991-#1 b. My Next Broken Heart-1991-#1 c. Neon Moon-1992-#1 d. Boot Scootin' Boogie-1992-#1 e. Lost And Found-1992-#6
A special shout out goes to the Zac Brown Band. Their first five singles hit the top two. However, their second hit #2: a. Chicken Fried-2008-#1 b. Whatever It Is-2009-#2 c. Toes-2009-#1 d. Highway 20 Ride-2010-#1 e. Free-2010-#1

I seem to remember it being an incredibly close race, and ended up coming down to 10k in AI or something crazy. (and if "Whatever It Is" had reached #1, they would have ended up starting their career with 9 #1 hits in a row, more than doubling the old record of 4.)

Their appeal still baffles me. I'm expecting this to crossover once the remix drops (I heard rumors one was going to? Please confirm/deny so I can take proper precautions in the event it does and I won't be able to leave my house for two months.)
Anyway, hi Dudley! Kisses xo

There are reports that a version featuring Jason Derulo will be released to CHR (a few of us were discussing it on the previous page in this thread). What I'm wondering is, will Capitol Nashville (Luke Bryan's label) give permission to Borchetta to release this to other formats, meaning it would be FGL featuring Luke and Jason Derulo? Or will Republic release a Derulo version that removes Luke's verse and swaps in some stuff from Jason during that part of the song?

In my humble opinion they'd be stupid not to leave Luke's verse intact (unless it become an issue of how long the song is), if only because he'd see more exposure. But then he'd have to deal with the issue of "selling out" to a pop audience, although that doesn't seem to be that big of a deal anymore.
I wouldn't be surprised if Luke wasn't on the hypothetical pop mix though. Jason Derülo though? Nelly was camp enough to make some sense, but his inclusion is just arbitrary.

I wouldn't be surprised if Luke wasn't on the hypothetical pop mix though. Jason Derülo though? Nelly was camp enough to make some sense, but his inclusion is just arbitrary. Here's an article from Blair Garner's After Midnite website. Derulo first teased the collaboration on Facebook. FGL then tagged Luke but I didn't do any digging to see if Luke ever responded. www.aftermidnite.com/onair/main-news-feed-54256/florida-georgia-line-tease-remix-with-12396371/Sounded like an open invitation to Luke but they might have to get permission from Capitol Nashville. They obviously did in order to release this to country radio but the label might not want to allow Luke to lend his vocals to a pop remix. But maybe they'd say yes. Like you said, it'd be more exposure for Luke, and his part is pretty small anyway. It could also depend on song length or maybe they'd choose to omit Luke's part if they felt like FGL featuring Luke and Derulo would be too much or confusing or something like that.

• Welcome to the trailer park, @touch <3 • I personally don't see how the song would be any better or worse with or without Luke/with or without Jason DeRulo.
.../with or without FGL. This song is already bottom-of-the-barrel garbage. Whatever they do to it won't improve it in any way, but I guess that's not what they really even care about doing anyways. The more money these guys make, the more often I contemplate drinking bleach.

The weak link of the song is by far the second verse (a.k.a Tyler's rapping), so they'd be smart to give Jason Derulo the 2nd verse. Keep Tyler on 1st verse and Luke on 3rd verse, and it'd be a smash Top 40 hit!
But my guess is that Luke will turn it down. He's pushing "Play It Again" on HotAC (although HotAC and Top 40 aren't exactly the same, they might want to avoid the appearance of having 2 cross-over songs at once).

I wouldn't call them embarrassing (or "douchelords"), but they certainly have a certain camp factor that errs on the wrong side of obnoxious far too often.

I understand if you're not a fan of their music, but they certainly haven't done anything to deserve this type of harsh insulting. If you don't like their music it's fine, but no need to drop to this level.

Or you could just say you don't like them/their music and give reasons why. I really hope Pulse doesn't allow this type of behavior where you can just jump into a thread, call artists vulgar names and list no reasons why other than they "deserve" it.

I understand that fans of the older music don't like their music, but that's no reason to hate the artist themselves.

This isn't my favorite of their singles, and might be the least favorite, but I was rooting for it to get to #1. Rarely does a new act come on the scene in any format and just explode with a string of #1s first time out. It's pretty amazing, really.
I admit I first started liking FGL because of what I felt was the ridiculous & OTT hate they get for no reason other than people don't like their music. The hate seems to be inexplicably personal for some people, which I don't get at all. But, after hearing on them on the radio a lot, I checked out their album and actually love it. In fact, I still listen to it a lot. And now having followed them on twitter, both guys seem genuinely nice and humble and do a lot for others. Citing one pretty mild example of a tweet in a sea of positive tweets of theirs over the last couple of years seems stupid to me. There are a lot of artists I follow on twitter that aren't nearly so positive as Tyler and Brian.
Looking forward very much to their new music.

A special shout out goes to the Zac Brown Band. Their first five singles hit the top two. However, their second hit #2: a. Chicken Fried-2008-#1 b. Whatever It Is-2009-#2c. Toes-2009-#1 d. Highway 20 Ride-2010-#1 e. Free-2010-#1 Does anyone have the Billboard audience numbers from when "Whatever It Is" just missed out on #1?

(and if "Whatever It Is" had reached #1, they would have ended up starting their career with 9 #1 hits in a row, more than doubling the old record of 4.) I was going to look that up for you, but the Billboard Country Update thread started in 2010. I would be surprised if anyone has the final audience totals for Whatever It Is versus Sideways that blocked the Zac Brown Band from their second #1 hit.

I never thought I'd miss the years of 2008 when you'd hear nothing but Kenny/Keith/Carrie. I thought that was bad. Now I'm begging for that back. This crap is making Waylon/Cash/Possum roll over in their graves.
For anyone who misses Country Music, this happened last night.....enjoy....fresh country music that won't see the light of day on radio. Thank you Conan O'Brien for trying to show people this mans talent. Country Radio sure as hell won't try.

I remember when Garth was starting to dominate the airwaves, people were clamoring for the older music to come back....now you hear those same people wishing Garth was back on the scene. I think Garth was the person most responsible for what we hear now though. All fads die out, this sound will start getting old to people and the next new thing will come along and people will find something to hate about it too.

People will complain about any new style. I personally am a fan of their type of music and I get tired of hearing "Well, you're not a country fan if all you listen to is the new stuff." Anyway, I kind of wish this had hit #1. Luke blocking it didn't make much sense since it would have been a #1 for him too. However, I do have to say NO MORE REMIXES. This was fine the way it was (so was Cruise).

I don't particularly care for this song and feel there were others that I would have rather seen released over this one.
