I wasn't arguing. This should have been a #1. This is my point, lol. Saying it "should have been a #1" is your opinion...you aren't making a very good argument here as to why this song should be a #1. The fact that it's a lead single doesn't automatically mean a song will hit #1. Anyway, when a song like "Play It Again" is posting record or near-record audience levels, it's kind of hard (actually, basically impossible) for another song to do the same thing at the same time, and here we have both Brett and Miranda trying to go higher but Luke's song simply isn't done yet. "Automatic" has had a pretty quick run but if it misses out on #1, then so be it. Luke Bryan and to a lesser extent, Brett Eldredge, would be the ones to blame. Or you could put some of the blame on "Automatic" itself, since it simply looks like it might not quite be able to put up enough audience to hit #1.

I'm really disappointed this probably isn't going to hit #1. It's so unfortunate just how many male artists get to Number One and then a lead single from Miranda Lambert can't even make it all the way there, one of the biggest stars at the format. Given the music on her latest album, I'm hoping that she can still score some Number One hits, but the duet with Carrie is the only 'obvious' smash hit aside from "Automatic" imo.

So? This isn't an argument at all. It's an opinion. "Automatic" has done pretty well but it has not been near the hit that "Over You" or "Mama's Broken Heart" were. A lead single doesn't mean it's going to go #1...in fact Miranda has never gone #1 with a lead single. Again, "Automatic" has done fairly well, but it hasn't been a digital monster, and it hasn't really shown any signs of being a slam dunk #1 at radio, so I don't know why anyone would say it "should have already been #1". It's had a chart run more in line with that of "Baggage Claim". I wasn't arguing. This should have been a #1. As far as a Miranda Lambert lead single goes, I know none of them have hit the top. Compare that with her duet partner, Carrie Underwood. Her Cowboy Casanova from 2009, the lead single from Play On hit the top in ten weeks. Surely, Lambert (the current five time A.C.M. Female Vocalist of the Year) can get a single to the top in break neck speed. Care to elaborate. :) Like jhomes87 said, "Baggage Claim" was a lead single and didn't go #1, and her last solo top 10 was a Mediabase only #1 with "Mama's Broken Heart". She's only had three Billboard chart toppers and 5 overall. She's a star player in country music, no doubt about it (cue Neal McCoy), but I never thought that "Automatic" was supposed to go #1 because of her past chart history. It's not like she's been stuck at #2 forever like FGL were or even in the top 5 forever. Sure her numbers right now are really high, but many singles are. Perhaps a bad time to peak but I don't feel this should be a #1.

Given the music on her latest album, I'm hoping that she can still score some Number One hits, but the duet with Carrie is the only 'obvious' smash hit aside from "Automatic" imo. I didn't mean to imply that all hope is lost..."Automatic" is still gaining so there is still a slight chance it could hit #1 on either chart. It's doubtful, but not completely hopeless. Today's update wasn't very favorable to Miranda, though. Yesterday she easily out-gained Brett in spins and audience and Luke at least dropped by about 320k, but today was the complete opposite...Brett crushed Miranda in spins/AI gain and Luke barely lost any audience at all. It is a little unfair how things work sometimes, because for a new artist like Brett, he seemingly can chart for an unlimited number of weeks (which means he probably has a decent shot to keep climbing next week). But for artists like Miranda, Carrie, Kenny, Keith, etc, they don't get forever to make their way up the chart. "Automatic" hasn't exactly reached its 'expiration date' but with the album just out and "Somethin' Bad" already on the cusp of the Billboard top 30, radio isn't going to keep boosting airplay for "Automatic" for much longer. Thus, I think Miranda will probably hit her peak levels this weekend, and radio will start decreasing airplay for "Automatic" next week. Brett, however, is in a different situation. If he can't overtake Luke by week's end, it's entirely possible that Warner Music Nashville will be able to squeeze out one more week's worth of gains for Brett next week and get him to #1 yet. I don't think Miranda has that luxury.

Here we go. If Miranda Lambert is 'supposed' to be today's standard bearer of female artists today, she had better perform better on the charts. Look at Blake Shelton (her husband). His FIFTH single from Based On A True Story, My Eyes (with Gwen Sebastian) is at #8 after eight weeks. That's half the time Automatic has been on the chart (at #3). Looking at her duet with Keith Urban, We Were Us, that took twelve weeks to hit the top. Granted, it was Urban's second single from his Fuse CD, so why can't Lambert replicate that with HER CD? I know trying to top Luke Bryan to get to #1 will be difficult to say the least. I see he gained another million in audience impression on this week's Airplay chart. By the way, Bryan has been on the chart for fourteen weeks with a FOURTH single.

By the way, Bryan has been on the chart for fourteen weeks with a FOURTH single. The comparison game doesn't work to justify your argument. Miranda is a huge star, but more in terms of overall exposure, sales, her influence on country music, etc. Her track record at radio has improved tremendously over the past few years but she's still not a consistent chart-topper, so why bring Blake, Luke, and Keith into it? Miranda has never done as well at radio as those guys have. And that brings me to another point...they are men, and we all know how much country radio has fixated on the men for the last several years (and you can go back before that too). "Automatic" has sold about 450k and will easily go Gold in just a couple weeks. But a song like "Mama's Broken Heart" has sold almost 1.7 million copies as a 4th single from her Four The Record album. Generally speaking, yes, lead singles do go up quicker than subsequent releases. But if a bigger radio hit is blocking the top spot, or if the top 10 is clogged up with some really popular names, a lot of things can happen. There is simply no reason to say that this song "should've" been a #1. I like the song a lot too, and I wish it could've gone #1, but this result is not that surprising. Throughout its entire chart climb it has acted like a strong top 5 hit at the very least, but there was never anything that suggested this would be a slam dunk #1.

I hope she can still make it there yet. As far as this one deserving to hit No. 1, I definitely think it does, certainly much more than Brett Eldredge who realistically shouldn't have even made it much higher than the cusp of the Top 5. Luke's hit has been huge so it deserves all the time at the top it's received, and I'm glad when something doesn't get kept to only 1-2 weeks at the top, especially when it's been such a juggernaut. Miranda should be his successor though, not Brett, as far as all things are considered -- star power, sales, length of their chart run, etc. It's frustrating if newbies like Brett can get to No. 1 easier than one of country's leading ladies. She should have more No. 1s to her name, and every one counts.

Was gonna mention this yesterday but I forgot. RCA released a different version of this song to radio on Monday afternoon, the "Three on the Tree" mix, according to Play MPE. I have not heard it so I don't know what differences there are from the original version (and it doesn't necessarily mean it's a major 'remix' or anything like that, but there must be something that's at least a little different from the original version). So...that probably means that this is the final 'push' week for this song, and of course that makes sense as well. The album just dropped, she's been doing "Automatic" for a lot of TV performances, and with "Somethin' Bad" charting pretty high already, the label won't want to wait much longer to officially send that one to radio. Usually when a new version of a song gets sent out (oftentimes, if another version gets sent out, it's an acoustic one) that's a pretty good indicator that the label is trying to get max spins for the final push. Thus, I think "Automatic" will peak this weekend. It has a slight chance at the Mediabase #1 (it had a big swing in spins vs. "Play It Again" today) but I don't think its chances of topping Billboard are very high, unless it can somehow keep climbing next week...but again, I think that's doubtful. Does anyone have access to this mix? I'm so curious!

Wow...talk about a stealth push from RCA. Out of the blue "Automatic" gains almost 1 million in this morning's update and 120 spins, and it leapfrogs Brett to take the #2 spot on Mediabase. This song now has 7601 spins on MB whereas "Play It Again" has fallen to 7398 spins. Luke is still ahead by 2.7 million in audience, though, so it looks like he could hang on for a 4th week at #1 on Billboard, but I'm expecting Miranda to jump up to #1 on Mediabase tomorrow, as spins factor much more into their 'equation' and she's already 200 ahead of Luke.
It's just ridiculous how labels can manipulate radio these days, and perhaps even more ridiculous how radio PD's just seem to go along with it and don't get bothered by it. The labels have made a complete mockery of the charts, especially Mediabase. "Automatic" is probably going to be #1 on MB for a day, maybe two, but thanks to a ridiculous push from RCA, they'll be able to call it a #1..

These manipulations take much of the fun out of chart-watching. Shame on all involved.

Good for Miranda and RCA ... This song deserves to be #1. Brett will get #1 next week.

Maybe people like you and me are in the minority when it comes to this. As much as this not only bothers me but makes me angry, Program Directors, and labels see nothing wrong with these tactics and rather enjoy every song going #1. Unfortunately it's becoming second nature to do this sort of thing. Even though it clearly won't happen with Luke losing spins fast, it would be nice to see Capitol make some sort of push back today to keep it's #1 positioning. Seems like FGL getting completely getting shut out was an aberration and we are back to the same 'ol, same 'ol. :(

ETA: Wow, I just noticed that "Automatic" has been #1 for 3 weeks straight on both the Billboard Indicator and Country Aircheck Activator charts. PIA is #2 on both secondary charts and it doesn't appear that Luke has hit #1 yet. I find this very strange, because usually the secondary charts show better 'natural' peaks than the big charts do (due to the labels' interference on the big charts), but "Play It Again" has certainly been a bigger hit than "Automatic" has. This is the rare case where I think the secondary charts got it a bit wrong, in terms of what is/was the biggest hit. I've been meaning to comment on this..."Automatic" is now on its fourth week at #1 on the Indicator and Activator charts, and blocked both "Play It Again" and "This Is How We Roll" from #1 on those charts. Between this and the fact that both "Two Black Cadillacs" and "See You Again" were two-week #1s on Indicator last year ("Two Black Cadillacs" hit #1 on Activator as well, but "See You Again" peaked at #2; "Mama's Broken Heart" also peaked at #2 on both Indicator and Activator), I'm wondering if, in addition to the relative lack of label meddling on the Indicator/Activator charts, we're starting to see a qualitative difference emerge between the two charts. The published charts reflect larger markets where, more and more, stations are actively competing with top-40, Hot AC, AC, rock, and urban stations for audience, whereas the Indicator/Activator charts reflect smaller, more rural markets where perhaps the stations can program more freely to suit a country-specific audience. It's easy to imagine why a song like "Automatic" would resonate more strongly in more rural markets than it did in major metropolitan markets. I also think it is potentially interesting that the Indicator/Activator charts seem, at least for the past year, to have featured smoother runs to the top for the genre's top females than the published chart. With a little time, it would be interesting to look more closely and see if the Indicator/Activator charts have proven more friendly overall to females in the genre. Wow...talk about a stealth push from RCA. Out of the blue "Automatic" gains almost 1 million in this morning's update and 120 spins, and it leapfrogs Brett to take the #2 spot on Mediabase.

The labels have made a complete mockery of the charts, especially Mediabase. "Automatic" is probably going to be #1 on MB for a day, maybe two, but thanks to a ridiculous push from RCA, they'll be able to call it a #1.. You predicted correctly, "Automatic" will get its Mediabase #1. Last Sunday's big gain for "Automatic" suggests to me that we will see "Automatic" drop tomorrow and miss out on Billboard #1, which means the wait for a solo female to top the Billboard Country Airplay chart will now extend past twenty months (Carrie's "Blown Away" was the last to do so, on 15 October 2012 and 22 October 2012). As for the push to get "Automatic" its peak...I'm not a fan, but on the other hand, I'm happy for co-writers Nicolle Galyon (this is her second #1, I believe?) and Natalie Hemby (this is her fifth #1, I think). Hemby has this signature sly quirkiness to her lyrics and 70s funk-pop influence in her melodies (outside of this song) that has always appealed to me, and Galyon has a keen eye for personalized detail that features in this song and is becoming her calling card. While Galyon's husband Rodney Clawson is part of the core group of songwriters that has churned out formulaic hit after hit with rote lyrics and melodies, songwriters like Galyon and Hemby bring something distinctive to the charts, and the country format benefits from their presence. "Automatic" has been a solid, legitimate hit, but it doesn't feel like it has made the commercial or artistic statement that a lead single should. Moreover, its second verse has only gotten more problematic for me the more that I've heard the song, and several album reviews (including Jon Caramanica's otherwise very positive review from the New York Times, as well as Mikael Wood's three and a half out of four star review in the Los Angeles Times and Stephen Thomas Erlewine's four and a half out of five star album review for All Music) have pointed to "Automatic" as one of Platinum's few weak spots. I also don't think that "Automatic" is representative of Platinum, so after having heard the album, I'm a little puzzled as to why it was chosen as a lead single. Personally, I would have gone with the Galyon/Hemby/Jimmy Robbins-penned "Girls." But then again, perhaps RCA Nashville was set on a Miranda co-write for a lead single. If that's the case, then I suppose "Automatic" was the safest non-ballad pick (I might still have chosen "Two Rings Shy," despite the overbearing production). And with Miranda's favorable position within the CMA/ACM landscape, "Automatic" is still likely to see a Song of the Year nomination, anyway.

Does anyone have the link to the Real Time Tracker? I used to view it on the Radio & Records site, but they shut down a few years back.
and how exactly is the Indicator chart different??

The Indicator chart basically is a chart that reflects airplay on smaller stations. Much like the Activator chart on Mediabase and the Music Row charts.

As usual, jhomes87 is absolutely spot-on regarding her astute analysis of the ridiculously wide standards between the format's male superstars and the format's three female megastars as it relates to airplay, and that's dishearteningly been the case for years.
With all due respect to buffalocountry, comparing Blake & Miranda from an airplay standpoint just by using stats from as an example shows why his assertion that Miranda should be performing much better on the charts is misguided.
Blake, Luke, Miranda & Jason finished third, fourth, sixth and ninth among the year's most played artists based on points accumulated from the airplay of the tracks from their current CDs in 2013 according to Mediabase as Lon Helton pointed out in the very first evening edition of Country Aircheck this year dated January 6th, while finishing second, first, fifth and tenth respectively based solely on spins from everything in their respective libraries among the format's most heard artists last year (Tim & Kenny finished third & fourth, FWIW), with Carrie finishing ninth, just over 33,000 spins ahead of Miranda.
These superstar-level 12 weeks or less runs to #1 for Blake, Jason & Luke these days are roughly equivalent to what Tim, Toby & Kenny did repeatedly between the mid-nineties when their respective careers took off almost simultaneously as they all scored (IIRC) their first top ten singles and first number one singles within 6-9 months of each other; for me at least, I can't tolerate the current big three nearly as much as I did their predecessors.
As I've stated before, 'Jesus, Take The Wheel' and 'Redneck Woman' are the only two singles by females among the top 10 country singles of the past decade, which infuriates the heck out of me and many of you fine folks as well.
The bottom line is that anything by Jason, Blake or or Luke is going to absolutely torch the charts these days regardless of merit, just as Tim, Toby, & Kenny did 10+ years ago with substantially better material, and as Alan, King George, Clint Black, Tracy Lawrence & Garth and others did ad nauseum between 1989-94 and beyond as the format exploded while top 40 radio fell to pieces.
The fact that 'This Is How We Roll' lost just shy of 3,000 spins during the past two weeks is certainly welcome news for a lot of us who want intelligent music that is really listenable, and while it's very early, perhaps Scott Borchetta's recent remarks regarding his chastising of the songwriters on Music Row as it relates to what they've been putting out quality-wise recently will start to sink in if it hasn't already, although the absurdity for the current chart run for 'I Got A Car' remains unchallenged by any other format superstar of the past 25 years since Billboard's top three new singles artists of 1989 (Clint, Garth & the downright luscious Lorrie Morgan) came along with brilliant and flawless music which certainly lit the torch igniting the country 'boom' of the 1990s.
Congrats to Miranda for another #1 single with one of my favorite songs of the year; sadly, it would appear that this will be the only single by a female to finish in the year-end top ten at Mediabase, just as 'Mama's Broken Heart' did last year.

^ just curious..what are the other 8 top songs of the past decade? I assume As Good As I Once Was, I Go Back, Live Like You Were Dying, and Amazed (or was that the 90s?) are some of them.

#1 at MediaBase. Let me guess, #2 at Billboard? Probably not even that. I have her at #3 in my chart projections and that might be her peak, as "Automatic" already lost some audience in today's MB update. We'll know in the next day or so whether this can manage another bullet and go for the BB #1 as well. But for tonight's chart I would be surprised if she overtakes either Brett or Luke. Speaking of those two, their audience totals are quite close on MB this morning (Luke's lead is down to about 250k), but I don't think they'll be as close on BB...I'm expecting Luke to get his 4th week at #1 there.

Seems as though "Automatic" might be a surprise to make it to #1 on Billboard next week since Brett Eldredge's "Beat of the Music" seems to have leveled off and "Automatic"'s numbers on Mediabase have actually risen from a few days ago. Luke Bryan's "Play It Again" has dropped big time so Miranda's chances of #1 on Billboard is at least 50-50 if not more than that.

Seems as though "Automatic" might be a surprise to make it to #1 on Billboard next week since Brett Eldredge's "Beat of the Music" seems to have leveled off and "Automatic"'s numbers on Mediabase have actually risen from a few days ago. Luke Bryan's "Play It Again" has dropped big time so Miranda's chances of #1 on Billboard is at least 50-50 if not more than that. I hope so. I want Automatic to be Miranda Lambert's fifth #1 so I can put her on the list of those with the most #1s (the 121st artist to do so). I do not want Something Bad to be her fifth chart topper.

First day of the week and this takes a big hit on Mediabase, down nearly 100 spins and more than half a million in audience. Her chances of getting to #1 on Billboard are 0%. She's currently behind Brett on Billboard, and even though Brett posted a small audience loss today himself, it's obvious that his song isn't done (it gained in spins, it's already tracking at #1 for BB, and Warner Bros. had a "power up" ad out in last night's Aircheck chart). With Luke finally on his way down and Miranda joining him, there is no one to challenge Brett for the #1 spot.

I saw yesterday where "Automatic" had a +300 audience gain which I kind of thought was optimistic if it would have stayed that way but today's numbers show it's just +14 and down to #2 on MB and Brett has now taken over #1 and probably Justin Moore's "Lettin' The Night Roll" will be at #2 since both "Automatic" and "Play It Again" are falling fast. Thus continues the streak without a #1 by a female solo artist on Billboard.

Thus continues the streak without a #1 by a female solo arrist on Billboard. But this didn't have a +300 audience gain yesterday. Here are yesterday's numbers--these are the same numbers from AllAccess. The 311 number is her bullet, a 7-day spins number, not audience. The bullet doesn't mean anything, because it's a 7-day number. It simply means that "Automatic" was 311 spins higher in yesterday's update than it was from the update on June 3. The bullet was still positive yesterday because the song kept gaining audience/spins through Sunday, so 6 of the 7 days were positive updates, and 1 negative update (which she had yesterday, of -93 spins and -513k in audience) isn't enough to cancel out 6 days of positive updates and make the bullet go negative. Hopefully that makes sense. Anyway, still looking at the link, you can see that, in the "Aud+" column (audience gain), Miranda was down 513k from Sunday's number. So that's why it was easy to tell yesterday that the song was done, even though the bullet still showed positive. Today's numbers-- here--show that "Automatic" lost another 1.426 million in audience from the number it had yesterday. I'm just trying to make sure that, if you're looking at the charts, you know how to read them correctly. You need to look at the audience column and see how it changes from day to day. If you look at the bullet or "move" column as it's named on AllAccess, that isn't going to tell you anything.

Automatic needed 18 weeks to get to #3. My Eyes has been on the chart for ten weeks and is at #4 for the week. I know people don't like the comparison 'game' here, but look at the differences between a lead single from a brand new CD versus a fifth single from just over a year old CD. Does that mean Warner Bros. promotes better over RCA? Just asking. We all know it isn't the song quality of the Blake Shelton CD. For that reason alone, Miranda Lambert has been releasing more compelling singles over the years.
