Darius Rucker has been on the chart 93 days, Eldredge 124, Raelynn 134, Bryant 119, Rhett 114, Brice 81. Nail's Kiss You Tonight has been on the chart 239 days. This could be a contributing factor to current sluggish sales. It needs new ears, not ones that have already heard it months ago and previously bought the song. But I don't see this song going much higher even though I really like it. Unless you're counting full weeks on the airplay chart, your number of days do not match. In the order you gave us: 1. Darius Rucker-16 weeks=112 days 2. Brett Eldredge-21 weeks=147 days 3. RaeLynn-22 weeks=154 days 4. Chase Bryant-20 weeks=140 days 5. Thomas Rhett-18 weeks=126 days 6. Lee Brice-14 weeks=98 days 7. David Nail-38 weeks=266 days I only point that out is because the only number you gave us that was divisible by seven was the 119 days for Bryant (17 weeks). Those are the number of the days they've been in the Mediabase Top 50 according to kworb.com.

Those are the number of the days they've been in the Mediabase Top 50 according to kworb.com. Even with that and knowing that kworb.net uses the MediaBase charts, they go by full weeks. With the numbers given us earlier, they break down to: 1. 93 days-13 weeks, 2 days 2. 124 days-17 weeks, 5 days 3. 134 days-19 weeks, 1 day 4. 119 days-17 weeks-the only number divisible by seven 5. 114 days-16 weeks, 2 days 6. 81 days-11 weeks, 4 days 7. 239 days-34 weeks, 1 day Something does not seem right with the numbers. Not doubting anyone here.

Not doubting anyone here. You're missing the point. Yes, we know that the Mediabase chart goes by weeks. But jkwaej was simply going off of Kworb's website, which has a column that tallies up the total number of days that each song has spent inside the MB top 50.

This song didn't do a lot for me at first but it's become a real grower. Glad to see it still hanging in and moved up the chart. It's played quite a lot on my local station for a song only just inside the top 20.

I'm expecting "Kiss You Tonight" to be sent recurrent by Billboard this week. It lost over a million in audience this week on MB and has seen a sharper loss today with 280k. It will fall to #18 from #17 on MB with Keith going recurrent today. The sales have really taken a nose dive too as it sits in the 400's on the iTunes all-genre. You couple that with being +40 weeks old and so close to Christmas and you get "Kiss You Tonight" finally ending its fight.
I don't have a good sense of what MCA will opt to do. David is really do for a third single from one of his albums. I still count "Red Light" as a lead since "I'm About To Come Alive" bombed pretty hard (still an excellent song) and of course they only went two deep on The Sound Of A Million Dreams. I could see them going with "Countin' Cars" or "Broke My Hearts" third but I could easily see them end the era right now.

The problem is his singles take so long to climb, and I really don't know how much momentum he would have now going into a third single. Since the album isn't really selling much (and there hasn't been a ton of digital interest around "Kiss You Tonight"), financially I doubt another single fron the album would make sense.
A bit of a break and then a new lead single early Spring would probably be best for recapturing momentum.

I think MCA will send out a third single. "Kiss You Tonight" peaked higher than "Turning Home" and "The Sound of a Million Dreams", his other two second singles. The album was only released in March, and there are still radio-friendly options that could potentially make some noise. "Countin' Cars" and "Broke My Heart" seem like the safest choices but I really hope it ends up being "When They're Gone (Lyle County)", my favorite song on the album.

"Broke My Heart" or "Countin' Cars" might do alright as a third single from this because they're both pretty radio friendly, but at the same time, his chart runs are so excruciatingly long and his momentum is down now so my first instinct says that ending the era here might be in his best interest. Even if he went with BMH or CC, I could see the next single really struggling and winding up with a chart run similar to "The Sound of a Million Dreams," and that would honestly do him no favors.

Even if he went with BMH or CC, I could see the next single really struggling and winding up with a chart run similar to "The Sound of a Million Dreams," and that would honestly do him no favors.While I agree with the bolded part, I really don't think a quick (under 20 weeks) flame-out resulting in only a top 40 peak would further hurt his momentum though either. With the right song, David has proven that he can score a big hit to lead off a new project, so I don't think anything from this album will affect his next album one way or the other. So with that said I really hope we see a 3rd single. I'm A Fire is just too good of an album to only have 2 singles...and they have so many options. "Countin' Cars" and "Broke My Heart" are the shortest songs on there (2:52 and 3:16, respectively), and I think either would be a great choice. They really can't go wrong, in my opinion...unless they don't release a 3rd single at all!

I want Countin' Cars. I'd like to see it get a chance.

*Yawn* for me.
"Let It Rain" was amazing!!! And I enjoyed "Whatever She's Got" (sadly, I didn't chart it...) but this one is disappointing...

As much as I love this song, it's overstayed its welcome now.
"Kiss You Tonight" hit #20 on Billboard back on Monday the 20th of October, and here we are, 3 months later, and David is at #19 (although this song did make it as high as #17 on BB).
I don't blame MCA for sticking with this, but it's chart runs like this one that really back things up for the whole chart. When David first entered the top 20, he had 13.4 million in audience. Now he's at #19 but with 18.7 million in audience (#20, Lady A's "Freestyle", had 17.2 million on Monday's BB chart).
That's evidence right there at how backed up the chart is. It's clear that KYT isn't even going to make the top 15, so it's past time for MCA to let this one go. I was hoping there would be a 3rd single but now I'm starting to think there won't be, and that's a shame, because I'm A Fire was one of my top 2 favorite albums from last year.

That's a pretty incredible statistic. I hear this song all the time, both on my local station and when traveling out of state.
I would have guessed it would go much higher -- but if you can stay in place on placement and grow your AI almost 50% that explains a lot I suppose. (Odd though it is.)

As much as I like this song (it's grown on me a lot since it first was released), I really hope it does indeed go recurrent this week on Billboard. As mentioned above, this song has been in the same chart position for basically a whole season. It's evident that it's not going to get any higher on the charts, it's sales are just awful, and it's been on the charts for almost a year. It's time to say goodbye and make room for other songs to grow (hopefully A Guy Walks Into A Bar, Say You Do, and What We Ain't Got).

It's only down about 250k in MB audience over the last 6 days, but as I said in the weekly predictions thread, I think it would be down closer to 400k or 500k if it weren't for Westwood One, and I think that'll be a big enough loss for Billboard to yank it. Not entirely sure, though. I agree with you though--I love the song a lot but I'm more than ready for it to leave.

Goes recurrent on BB. Did well I guess for a 2nd single from Nail.

Are we not getting a 3rd single from this album? This was his best album and had plenty of radio friendly singles like "Countin' Cars" and "I'm A Fire".

This was determined quite some time ago, and David even performed a brand new song at CRS back in February. Anyway, since this is an old thread...
