Negative bullet. Is this done? Looks like Maddie & Tae will kick out Carrie & Miranda for the top 10 spot. What about Keith Urban? He's at #11 and out-gaining Maddie & Tae. In any case, the bottom hasn't fallen out on "Somethin' Bad" just yet. It's lost small amounts of audience in each of the last 2 days, but Chase and Brantley lost some audience this morning as well.

Is there word of the next single for Miranda? This is still really struggling & while there is still time, I'd think they'd want to get something out soon before we start heading into the holidays.

Yeah, if I were Miranda's label I would move on.
How many downloads has this now sold?

I wouldn't be surprised if a new single is announced next week.

I think this one might finally be done. It lost over 400k in audience, and has bullet of -146. We will probably know for sure tomorrow, but definitely not a good update today for this one.

I was really hoping for the first all female #1 duet since Reba McEntire's and Linda Davis' Does He Love You in 1993. Well, after two single releases from Platinum, what is it going to take to get Miranda Lambert a #1 this era?

Yeah, it's really irritating me that "Automatic" and "Somethin' Bad" couldn't go to No. 1 when Miranda Lambert is the biggest female in country music rn, especially in the latter's case since this also features the other biggest female in the genre. Meanwhile, crap by male newcomers goes No. 1 all the time. It's downright embarrassing.

Miranda has plenty of airplay #1s on Mediabase, so country radio loves her. The fault is all on Sony for not trying hard enough on Billboard.

Yeah I agree, I think they mishandled Automatic, and could have gotten it to #1 on Billboard with a little more effort. As for this song, I think it did well digitally because of the names attached and because it also appealed to some in the Pop music crowd, but I never got the feel that this had the sound of a big country hit. I think this is one of Miranda's weakest offerings as a single.

The Mediabase chart year ends in four weeks on November 15th, but just looking at the year-to-date numbers on the AllAccess.com chart right now, isn't it blatantly obvious that this has been an atrocious year for country radio thanks in large part to a bunch of male vocalists whose voices are as mediocre as their music?
This would have breezed into the top 5 over a month ago were it not for a lot of those mediocre males whose songs scream up the charts as if they're the second coming of anything from Strait, Jackson, Paisley, McGraw or most any other male singer who can actually sing and release good-to-great songs in the first place, but are miles and miles behind them and several others just from a point of listenability and tolerance!
I certainly can't blame Sony Records for this tune not going a lot higher, but if you want to blame too many male vocalists to count who are charitably described as marginal singers at least IMHO, then go ahead and tee off on them; they're the biggest culprits as I see it.

"Anothey Sunday In the South" is still increasing, now it's #76 @ Mediabase Chart.
I don't want it as single :(

As for this song, I think it did well digitally because of the names attached and because it also appealed to some in the Pop music crowd, but I never got the feel that this had the sound of a big country hit. I think this is one of Miranda's weakest offerings as a single. "Automatic" peaked at #3 on Billboard, and needed a major late-week push to get the Mediabase #1. I'll grant you that "Automatic" missed the Billboard #1 by a not-enormous margin of 664K in audience, but I think that "Automatic" is an example of RCA Nashville getting the most it could get out of a not particularly big hit in a climate that is outright hostile to female voices. "Mama's Broken Heart" missing out on Billboard #1 is a better example of a mishandled chart run for a legitimately big hit, in my view -- RCA Nashville got caught napping when Republic Nashville enacted an early push for power conversions for "Get Your Shine On," and "Mama's Broken Heart" was never able to catch up on Billboard. That was a recurring issue for Sony Nashville last year -- the label's promo teams seemed to prefer to sit back until the intended peak week of a song, whereas the Warner and Big Machine Label Group teams were more active in securing top-10 and power conversions prior to their singles' peak weeks. If the argument is that if RCA Nashville had held back "Somethin' Bad" (which picked up 6.926 million in Billboard audience the week that "Automatic" peaked), then "Automatic" would have been able to hit #1 with more ease, I would argue that the label got exactly what it wanted out of "Somethin' Bad"'s early release -- a high-profile performance slot on the Billboard Music Awards followed by a first-week downloads total that more than doubled Miranda's previous biggest first week of single sales, a burst of pre-orders for Miranda's album, and a ton of attention due to an event duet, followed by another burst of same when they performed the song twice during the week of CMA Fest (also the week that Platinum was released). Besides, "Automatic" and "Somethin' Bad" were different enough that they shouldn't have been competing for airplay on playlists that sorely needed (and need) more female voices anyway. It was right around this time that Luke Bryan was on two singles in the top-five...actually the top-two, if I recall correctly, though his role on "This Is How We Roll" was relatively small. As for the notion that "Somethin' Bad" did well digitally "because of the names attached and because it also appealed to some in the Pop music crowd," I would argue the same for Florida-Georgia Line's debut album singles, Jason Aldean's "Burnin' It Down" and Sam Hunt's current single. So I think it is noteworthy that the country airplay fates of the songs differ. I do think that if Sony Nashville had capitalized on the early hype and sales of "Somethin' Bad" to drive this song up and down the charts quickly, it may have seen a higher airplay peak. It should have been obvious, I think, that this song was not the kind that would wear well over time. But I think the label was content to sit back and let the song drive Miranda's album sales and also maintain a presence for Carrie on country radio in between singles. I'm not especially fond of this song, and I really do hope that the next time Miranda and Carrie collaborate, it's on a song that is a much better showcase for why the country industry has anointed Miranda its standard-bearer for quality music and why the industry-at-large considers Carrie the go-to artist to represent country at high-profile/prestige gigs. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder if, as others have already mentioned, "Somethin' Bad"'s fate at country radio says something about how much the country radio landscape is tilted against women these days. I will be watching the chart runs for Miranda's subsequent singles and Carrie's current and subsequent singles with a little more concern.

"Somethin' Bad" as of tonight's BCU has gone recurrent. Why is that since it moved up to #7 last week and had a bullet?

Disappointing, but to be expected after the numbers this week. Hopefully a new Miranda single is announced ASAP.

Also, it was at the 21 week mark. Wow... The biggest(and essentially only) females in the genre just barely cracked the top 10... don't know whether i'm mad or just disappointed Disappointed indeed. It took Miranda Lambert 18 weeks to get Automatic to #3 and now 21 weeks to get Somethin' Bad to #7. This is from your billion-time C.M.A. Female Vocalist of the Year.

Welp, even though it didn't do as well on radio, it still is a #1 (mongrel chart) and RIAA has certified it Platinum. So, I guess it did its job as a single -- good chart numbers (airplay aside, it also became ML's highest Hot 100 charter at #19, as well as became Carrie's -- what, 10th(?) Top 20 entry), solid sales, and is gaining awards traction.

It definitely did what Sony wanted it to do. It kept Carrie on the radio when she didn't have a single and it also kept Miranda on the radio. It was a fun, if grating for some, song. Mission accomplished. Now to see which song from "Platinum" is next. I'm guessing it's "Priscilla" or "Little Red Wagon," both which will grate on people too.

Priscilla has a very old school (if not old school rock) feel to it. Little Red Wagon is one that I don't find to be that great. It's not bad but midway through, I find myself wanting to listen to something else. I'm not sure either could be #1s, but Priscilla has a better chance. In my opinion, Automatic was the bees knees of this Lambert era so far and I wish it had a longer shelf life at radio.

With Somethin' Bad taking forever to finally die, I really don't want Priscilla next (or at all). By far my two least favorites from "Platinum". Another Sunday in the South is my favorite, but might not be the best choice for winter. Girls, Platinum, Little Red Wagon, even Smokin' and Drinkin' (a radio edit with the instrumental beginning/ending gone could be very possible, and I think it'd be a great winter single) would be my choice... then Sunday can be released in the spring and #1 for the summer. :)
