I don't know if this can hang on for a top 5 finish. "Look At You" has lost 34 spins on MB since Sunday and only have gained 160k in audience. There's of course no way they can catch anybody gaining right now in the top 5. The only way they can get there in the next two weeks is the soon to be falling "Day Drinking" and these past two days indicate to me that the big push was this past week, and Big & Rich are the co-hosts for Country Countdown USA this weekend with Lon Helton. There's now the looming threat of Parmalee as "Close Your Eyes" has gained 100 spins and over 1.2 million in audience the past two days.
New Revolution might have to settle for a #6 peak here.

Sorry for doubling up with posts here but I expect "Look At You" to go bulletless this week as its down 25 spins and more than 600k in audience so far this week on MB with one day to go. That would mean "Look At You" peaks at #6 on MB and I expect their Billboard peak to be #7 as Parmalee should pass them on that chart.
All things considered though, a fantastic, overachieving chart run for Big & Rich. "Look At You" has lasted 40 weeks and hit #6. Both numbers are something New Revolution should be proud of and I'm happy that Kenny and John got another hit on country radio.

^ Kenny and John opened for Tim back in 2004 when they first came out actually. I think Big & Rich's days of opening on major tours is all but over. They usually give those slots to newcomers or relatively newer artists who are on either major labels or well established independent labels (BBR). I'm actually going to see Big & Rich at the Seneca Niagara Casino on the 29th of November. I saw them last year at the Allegany Casino last October as well. That's the kind of venues that Big & Rich are doing now and days and the success of "Look At You" will likely not change that. Problems at the concert. Does sabre14 agree? www.buffalonews.com/gusto/concert-reviews/big-and-rich-battle-poor-sound-listless-crowd-20141129

Does sabre14 agree? www.buffalonews.com/gusto/concert-reviews/big-and-rich-battle-poor-sound-listless-crowd-20141129The opening song ("Comin To Your City") was definitely off in terms of sound quality. After that though it was perfectly fine. The problem with casino venues is that (and I don't mean to sound offensive here) it has many elderly concert goers (ages +50). That's a problem in terms of craziness that usually goes with a usual concert. I've been to all three concert venues at all three major casinos (Seneca, Fallsview, Allegany), and the crowds are just too old to really get jacked up like let's say Darien Lake. So I agree about a less enthusiastic crowd than normal. But Big & Rich did not (and I cannot stress this enough) - did not seem disinterested. I've seen them four times now and all four times they performed and acted like they did last night. This is why I dislike the Buffalo News. Too many times articles try to spark a controversy when it comes to culture or media stories. To say that they seemed disinterested is just wrong. And the mixing other songs into their songs is something they've always done. Was it a stellar concert? No. Was it one of the best I've gone to? Absolutely not. But for Seneca Casino, I thought it was a good concert. There's not even a name attached to that review. So, I agree about getting off to a rocky start but to say that Kenny and John were going through the motions was way off base.

How has "Look At You" shot up over a hundred spaces to #125 on the iTunes all-genre chart?

sabre14, is that really going to give their single that much new exposure that so many more people will download it? The song itself has obviously been played on the countdown every week for many months. I wouldn't think Big & Rich simply appearing on the countdown and performing a live version of their song would cause that huge an iTunes boost. But I guess that's the only thing that could have caused the boost, so it must have.

They played near Buffalo (I went to the concert) this past Saturday, so it wasn't some live performance on Saturday or Sunday. The Country Countdown USA co-hosting is the only thing I found.

I still can't get enough of this song. There's just something about it.

I don't know, a CC-USA appearance causing that big of a jump? I agree with @daydrinker--that doesn't seem to add up. My guess is that the song (or part of the song) was used in a TV show or sporting event yesterday.

It had to be a pretty popular show or sporting event (football) to have that big of a jump on the iTunes chart though. So it's incredibly odd that I haven't found any hint of it so far.

That kind of proves my point, though If it would take a hugely popular TV show to boost the song on iTunes, there's no way it could've been CC-USA. I just don't see how them hosting that show would cause it to move up so much when that never happens for Lon's other co-hosts.

"Look At You" may have had a sale during the week. but it IS at #21 now on iTunes and has been rising up the Top 30 Downloads chart for weeks now.

I'm taking a wild guess here: is it possible that (along with co-hosting CC) iTunes removed the single-only version from it's database? For a while, it was the single version that was listed on the chart (while the album version was actually also listed, just a lot lower). Something similar happened (I believe) when Montevallo was released by Sam Hunt and they removed the EP...the four songs that are on both temporarily vanished, only to quickly return as songs from Montevallo and not X2C.
