I really like this and I really like his voice. I wish more of today's country music sounded like this.

Been listening to this a lot the last few days. I love everything about this song...except the abrupt ending. It just seems so out of place and doesn't really fit.
That aside, I'll reiterate what I said a couple weeks ago...we need more music like this on the radio today. It feels like a 90's country tune with a more modern spin. Would love to see this make a nice chart run.

I really enjoy this as well. The lyrics are fairly simple but it's got a good sound to it and it's another good nostalgic "lost love" type of song. It's 3rd most-added (34 adds) at Mediabase today too (only behind FGL and Luke), so it looks like Red Bow and Chase are off to a pretty good start with this one. I know they'd been putting out some big ads for "Take It On Back" in Billboard/Country Aircheck these last few weeks and based off the ads it seemed that radio was quite excited about this one.

I like this song. I hope him, Parmalee, and Cassadee Pope all go top 20 at least.

I'm okay with this one being next for the program but when are they going to pick a female?

Unfortunately I'm not surprised it wasn't a female (I don't feel that's at the top of the priority list for Clear Channel heads), which is what I would have liked to seen too. I was thinking perhaps Kelleigh Bannen's latest release, but Chase Bryant is pretty much the predictable choice this month. Young, male, hot label, catchy, pretty good song - wallah!

Yeah timing wise Kelleigh would've been perfect for a female to get it. I'd have loved that for two reasons. First I like Kelleigh a lot and think she has a lot to offer the genre if she breaks through. And two Capitol/EMI hasn't got a female their first top 20 single in over a decade. I'd like to see them do so one day lol. Congrats to Chase Bryant and Redbow though, it's a good song and it'll probably end up top 10 now that it's getting this boost. I'm not sure if it would've without it so at least they chose a decent song. At least they didn't pick Joey Hyde's

Was going to come in here and post that Chase is the new On The Verge artist, but everybody beat me to it lol. I guess that's what happens when you put on 900 miles in a day--no time for Pulse! But I heard this several times on Clear Channel stations today in parts of Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado, and each time Chase was introduced as the new iHeartRadio On The Verge artist. At the end of the song it doesn't say "sponsored by Red Bow Records" (like it said "sponsored by MCA Nashville" for Sam Hunt's song) but each time it did say "available on Red Bow Records" which I thought was an odd phrasing.

I've noticed that Chase's single is moving in the way that Sam Hunt's "Leave The Night On" was when they announced Sam as an On The Verge artist. How does Chase's song fit in in comparison to Sam Hunt's song?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here...are you asking if the two songs are similar, or if Chase is the new Clear Channel iHeartRadio "On The Verge" artist? The second question has already been discussed and answered: yes, Chase is the new On The Verge artist, so that's why this song is getting big gains (from Clear Channel). The promotional run for Sam Hunt came to an end within the past week or two.

I was saying that it's a coindience that both Chase and Sam have/had the same On The Verge deal and both of them have had the same moves up in their first runs up the chart. I know that most people think that Sam's song is pop-oriented but what about Chase's song?

I know that most people think that Sam's song is pop-oriented but what about Chase's song? It's not a coincidence that they've both gained well, though. They were both selected by Clear Channel executives and radio programmers to receive this On The Verge 'promotion'. Chase is the 4th artist to be selected for the OTV program, following Craig Campbell (Keep Them Kisses Comin'), Dustin Lynch (Where It's At), and Sam Hunt (Leave The Night On). Regarding the similarities between the two songs...well, there really aren't any, at least to my ears. Chase's song is laced with banjo and is more typical of the nostalgic "lost love" songs that have often populated country radio. Sam's song, on the other hand, sounds like a straight-up pop song, but of course, to each their own. Sam is being marketed to country radio and country radio has accepted that song. As for "Take It On Back", I thought it had the chance to do well even without any help from On The Verge, as it sounds contemporary yet country, and Chase is on a solid up-and-coming indie label (Red Bow Records). On The Verge simply means it will go up faster than it normally would have, bypassing several other artists in the process.

This On the Verge program can go away...yesterday! Seriously seeing these new artists jump over other songs that have been struggling to move for months in the 20s, 30s, and even 40s is getting old. I mean at the rate this is climbing, Chase is going to be jumping over the likes of Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts! Something is just wrong with that. A song that most fans have never heard by an artist most fans have never heard of should not be getting special priority over the A listers and past hit makers who are known and stuck at their climbing positions due to stupid deals like this.

I'm not estatic that this program causes other songs to struggle more but otherwise I'm all for it. I'd like to see a female get the next one as I said up thread but considering that radio already plays a-listers the second they release something I see no problem with this. Just because they're a-listers doesn't mean their stuff should automatically climb quicker.

I think On the Verge is a fantastic idea executed poorly. If it were to be a fan voted thing or something like that I'd be all for it.

I wish they wouldn't climb quicker either, but the reason they do is that they have millions of fans who want to hear their songs when they get released and country radio adds them because they know they will get reactions from listeners rather than a newcomer who just wrapped up their radio tour that 95% of listeners don't know who they are yet. Unfortunately it's been that way forever in all genres and that will never change.

Oh I know why it happens, but there's really no reason an unknown artist can't get the same treatment if it's radio djs making the final pick then they're doing their job. Sure listening to feed back from their listeners comes into play but for an a-list release, like say "1994", they only get the feedback after they've already played the song a ton. So this is the same thing but they acutally can put their "taste making" skills to work and hopefully they'd pick something that their listeners like. If the listeners balk they can drop the singles play once they meet the requirements of the program.

That Washington Post article really didn't make me change my opinion on this program, especially when they said that their big wigs go with a "gut feeling" to determine the finalists. It also stated that they pick songs that they think will get the greatest listener feedback and what will in essence move the needle, hence why "Leave The Night On" was one I should have seen coming.

It also stated that they pick songs that they think will get the greatest listener feedback and what will in essence move the needle, hence why "Leave The Night On" was one I should have seen coming. Isn't knowing what will "move the needle" their job though? When you said "Taste Making" skills, it read to me like you are thinking they pick the one they think is the best quality. Everything is of course subjective, but to me going with a gut feeling on what will move the needle is to pick a song that will spike buzz and feedback and yes it absolutely is their job along with any genre, or really any radio format whether it's music, sports, or news. Why did Howard Stern or Opie and Anthony last for all those years and get high ratings - because the moved the needle. On the Verge though takes listener feedback and doesn't take it into account at all. Listener feedback like Call-Out America is flawed just like any sample or survey, but it makes me believe that radio is letting the listener help make decisions on what they will or won't play. I'm not naive and know radio (especially Clear Channel) is a business like anything else, and that listener feedback can only go so far determining hits, but "On The Verge" is one step closer to syndicated playlist to me. Big wigs telling their PD's what to play (even a certain lower limit of spins to meet their requirement) and leaving research and the listener out of the equation does not sit right with me. I've lost count on how many times I've made this argument, and I know I'm not changing anybody's mind about this who like "On The Verge" and are on board with it. I've heard that sometimes things aren't fair, and this is something that was inevitable, and those people are probably right, but doesn't mean I think it's perfectly fine. I like you wish that they would choose a female next, but how much credit should I give CC to do that. Why in the world would they go for a female (new female) artist when short history has shown how much they have struggled to achieve radio success and sustain it. The choices of Dustin, Sam, and Chase are about as predictable as it could have been and I hope I'm wrong but most of the time I think they might go with someone like Chase or Sam verses Kelleigh or Maggie if there was a decision to be made. Wow, I went way to long than I originally wanted to.

Sam Hunt is now #4 on iTunes and #18 all-genre (sales are up there with FGL at #16 and Kenny Chesney at #17). They sure did a good job knowing what would "move the needle".
