I sure hope Canaan Smith is able to make Top 10 with this song. But he just may considering how the charts are now these days. Joe Nichols is an example of someone who is moving slowly along on the charts, not always a bad thing but it just means that his song "Hard To Be Cool" will be on the charts longer. I think "Love You Like That" is at his pace right now.

I really really love the groove of this song, I just wish the lyrics were a bit stronger. I'd love for this to be a top 10 hit though because I'd like to hear more material from Canaan, which means this needs to be a hit to get his album out. He does have the EP coming out on the 24th. It's only supposed to be digital only unless you attend one of his shows. He's supposed to be selling the physical ep at merch stands while on tour. Hopefully we'll get a full album release date. He's been saying June for the last few months.

Yes and to many in America, it's just getting heard since it's now Top 20. If it had spent two months in Top 20 already, I'd say it's shot is lower but given that it hasn't "burned" for some yet, I doubt that's the case. It has been out a long time but this is quite the norm, especially for most new or mid-level artists.

It has been out a long time but this is quite the norm, especially for most new or mid-level artists. Well while the marathon chart runs is the norm now and days, 34 weeks to reach the top 20 is really long, lol. Though I do agree now that a top 10 peak is looking good for this one as I think it will have about 10 more weeks before radio let's go of it. Even though long lasting chart runs happen all the time now, you still can't underestimate the burn factor when a song is this old. Anything over 45 weeks is when a song can die at any moment. It used to be 30 weeks about 8-10 years ago, but songs like "Find Out Who Your Friends Are", "Red Light", "Smile", "Love Like Crazy", "Let It Rain" and "Outta My Head" has pushed that number massively upward. "Love You Like That" still needs to obtain about 10-12 million more in audience to reach top 10 on Billboard, while it needs to almost double it to reach top 10 on MB. Mercury still has work to do.

This one and Dustin Lynch's latest are my 2 least favorites on the chart right now. Talk about unoriginal. Thomas Rhett's latest was on par lyrically, but at least it was catchy, had some really cool production. These two are just...ugh. Zzzzzz

For some reason that I don't seem to understand, this one continues to march up the charts.
It's absolutely frustrating to look at this past week's bullet in the high teens.
11. "Baby Be My Love Song" +170 12. "Little Toy Guns" +146 13. "Diamond Rings..." +100 14. "Love Me Like You Meant It" +88 15. "Crushin' It" +95 16. "Love You Like That" +320 17. "She Don't Love You" +98
All of those songs saw negative updates yesterday except "Love You Like That".
What the hell does radio see with this one? It's overproduced and unimaginative. The part about "pretty city boy" and "fishin' in the dark Nitty Gritty boy" bothers me because Canaan looks and sounds more like the former, but I'm not here to judge.
Should have been called "Love You Like a Bunch of Old Cliches that Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line Already Loved You Like". At least they did it with some creativity.

Should have been called "Love You Like a Bunch of Old Cliches that Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line Already Loved You Like". At least they did it with some creativity. Radio doesn't see anything in this song. The reason it has done well is, 1) Canaan reintroducing himself to radio over the past year. 2) the stellar sales for the duration of its chart run, and 3) the promotion done by Mercury Nashville. The label stuck with this the entire way, including when it was sent recurrent on Billboard in the 40's, because of those sales. Eventually the light clicked on for radio and it took off. Once it hit the mid 30's, it basically saw a huge surge of life that essentially started another chart run. Radio has proven before that uncreative and unimaginative tunes don't bother them - in fact that's more the reason to spin them as playing safe is usually a recipe for success on terrestrial radio these days. I'm unfortunately not surprised about how this song has performed. The sales (unjustified IMO) were just too great to ignore and the label was all in on this one. I'm pretty dumfounded why this song sold so well. I understand he has a fairly large underground following and The Highway supported it from the start, but it's just so blah and boring. Not to mention the horrendous "pretty city boy" line. His demeanor didn't help his cause in terms of me enjoying the song either. I've seen and heard multiple interviews (The Highway, WYRK, countrymusicrocks,net) where he just came off has obnoxious, especially CountryMusicRocks.net, where he described the song as having "balls to it", and "it's what's drawing the girls to the song" and "guys can sing along to it without feeling like a wuss!"
I know it's different anywhere and everybody's way of life is different, but where I grew up there's tons of country side and farm land, even though I was born and raised in New York state. The girls I hung out with didn't give a rip about whether your a "city boy", "nitty gritty boy" or some other kind of boy. I agree with zack97, that a country way of life is something you feel. There's millions of country fans that didn't grow up near a creek with an old dirt road and a hung out on the outskirts of town with their friends, and this song is just a giant cliched, stereotyped trainwreck IMO.

Can you offer any different explanation as to why it saw such a massive update this past week and yesterday where all those other songs I listed saw negative updates? Aside from pretty much what you already said? lol Something does rub me wrong about the song too, like he is faking it or something. Maybe it's the overproduction or the forced cliches, I don't know. Almost like "hey look at me! I like the woods and rivers and cows and mosquitoes!" *looks around nervously* I echo your sentiments because my town is small (not even close to 5,000 people) and girls couldn't give two shoots if you are a "city" boy or not. If the girl likes guys who drive big trucks, we got those guys. If she likes guys who drive mid-sized sedans and have never cast a line, we got those guys too. Doesn't mean any of us aren't small town people who share similar values.

Aside from pretty much what you already said? lol It's update wasn't much higher this week than it was the week before. "Love You Like That" gained 2.7 million in audience and increased 320 spins this week, whereas it gained 2.0 million in audience and 306 spins the previous week. It looks massive simply because of the songs surrounding it. "She Don't Love You" is about out of steam. "Crushin' It" hasn't been doing great lately, and top 10 is about all I see it doing. Tim's song is pretty much in the same boat as Brad's. Carrie and Kelsea's gained 2.0 million in audience themselves, while Easton's is moving steady. Stations are just bumping Canaan's song up in rotation this week, which is common with songs in the high 20's, low teens. "Love You Like That" was on 145 total stations (6 away from completing the panel), so we might see a few more adds tomorrow for it.

Not every single has to have some sort of unique, insightful writing to be popular. The reason this has done so well is simply because it's a very catchy song. Radio did take a while to catch on, in my opinion more due to the artist than the song, but what's going to matter in the end is that this'll probably become Canaan's first #1 single, achieve a Gold certification, and get Canaan's album out, which is set for release June 23 and I think could sell decently for a newcomer. After listening to Canaan's EP, I'm also convinced he has a lot of potential for success both digitally and on country radio. "Two Lane Road" in particular sounds like a smash.

I understand your objection, but I guess I just don't see it as negative/controversial as you do. Obnoxious or not, the first part - about Love You Like That being tough/cool enough to appeal to both girls and guys - is exactly what they're going for with this song. And it's honestly what most solo male country singers attempt to do with their love songs. I'd wager guys like Blake Shelton, Eric Church and Dierks Bentley feel the same way about their music, and I wouldn't at all put it past the former to use a phrase like "this song has balls to it." When you're a male artist in this sort of genre, you want to be able to tell your girl what she needs to hear without sacrificing your masculinity. Whether "Love You Like" that achieves it is another story, but I don't doubt that Smith BELIEVES that's what his song does. And, frankly, the response it has been getting tells me he's not terribly wrong. As for the second point, while I WANT to agree with you - I'm a "city boy" 100% confident he's tougher than Canaan Smith - I feel like your stance is more idealistic than that of many. With certain southern/country demographics, there absolutely *IS* an objection to the slick "pretty boy" image of city life. Just look at the Saving Country Music blog and how the fact that Sam Hunt is "metro" (and as a football player from the south, I hardly think he's even the epitome of that term) renders him inferior. Anecdotally, I also don't really find the same girl experience as you do. Up here in the northeast, I know plenty of girls that wouldn't date a guy who doesn't wear button downs, two pounds of gel in his hair and pink or red pants. I've also met girls who laugh at guys like that and are only interested in dudes that would fit into the "nitty gritty" image. And beyond appeal to girls, there are some cultural aspects that render "city boys" soft, particularly when it comes to doing stuff with their hands. I don't know a single "city boy" who changes his own car oil, fixes flat tires (it's all AAA for us), goes hunting, etc. If you're accustomed to a country lifestyle, I get if you want to look down on that.

I don't know a single "city boy" who changes his own car oil, fixes flat tires (it's all AAA for us), goes hunting, etc. If you're accustomed to a country lifestyle, I get if you want to look down on that. Nobody's arguing the fact that's what Canaan was gunning for with this song - being tough/cool. If you've ever seen him interviewed, he always makes sure to get that image across. Just for reference, I'm not against "tough" at all. The reason that the "pretty city boy/"nitty gritty boy"" line is bothersome is because it paints a broad picture of country music fans being the "nitty gritty" kind and also paints any country music fan who didn't grow up in the country as an uptight individual that lives in a big town - as if there's a more appealing guy (country) and not (city). In regards to what Canaan said, "this song has balls to it"; if Blake Shelton did say that I'd wager it most likely be in a joking matter, as Blake's history of comedy relief is well known. The context Canaan was describing the song puts it in a more serious tone about why he wrote the song. Again, I'm not saying it's wrong to have songs with a tough and country way of life narrator and Canaan's more than welcomed to his beliefs, but "Love You Like That" comes off (to me, I must stress that) as the country/tough way is the only way a female country music fan wants her man, which from experience in a rural area (not city) is false. That doesn't mean they want a guy who wears button down and gel in his hair either. There is a huge population of men that are somewhere in the middle, and they're all over the country - not just one area. "Love You Like That" is like a lot of past and present country songs in that it clearly gives off that tough and gritty country boy way of life. However it also finds a way to object to anybody who lives outside that country way of life, which is bothersome to me. I don't drive a truck. I don't spend my weekends speeding down dirt roads. I don't go skinny dipping in a creek. At the same token, I don't drive a Buick. I don't live in a mansion or city apartment. I don't wear button up shirts and dress pants to work, and I don't put gel in my hair. Just like there are many country fans who live a country lifestyle, there are just as many country fans who don't, and this genre's wide and substantial audience is proof. Many girls like their guys country, no one disputes that. Many also don't give a rip - I've encountered both - but I'd be lying if I said more prefer a country boy who drives a pickup truck. "Love You Like That" is a song that I completely understand why many enjoy it. It's not like this song is poorly sung, poorly produced, or some other musical factor that detracts from it's overall goal. It's just the lyrics that put me off, and that's just my own personal opinion.

(Avoided quoting to reduce thread clutter; no intention of dissing sabre14) As far as the wide spectrum of "boys" and the all-encompassing nature of country music, you're 100% right. But I'm still struggling to see why that's relevant to the message of this song. He's describing who he is - and how he's going to love you. If you're a girl looking for a pretty city boy, Canaan Smith isn't the guy for you. And if you are a pretty city boy, this isn't your anthem. That's his approach - and I don't think he has any obligation to temper it or make it broader. And insofar as a lot of people do value his lifestyle and perspective on the contrast between nitty gritty and pretty city, it's one that is resonating with plenty of country fans. As someone who is closer to pretty city than nitty gritty, I can still enjoy the song for its catchiness and the fact that he's presenting a clear portrait of himself and appeal.

This one looks to be running out of steam. I know you'll say Luke's hogging up all the Airplay and while yes that's true this one has just been floundering lately this week. Given it's week total it might be best for Canaan's label to let go of this it's already gotten his foot in the door let's now see what else he can do.
I do like the song but LBT is closing in and Brads not that far behind. It might be best for this song to leave.

I agree, this is close to done. I think they'll try to push it into the top 10, since it's so close and there could be two openings next week (Tyler for sure, and possibly Tim McGraw). Beyond that though, I don't think this will go much further.

I don't think this is close to being done yet. I do think its age will keep it from going #1, but there still seems to be quite a bit of momentum behind this one, and that will only build as we approach his album release. "Love You Like That" and a couple of other songs just outside the top 10 are slowing because...they're just outside the top 10. Songs in the teens often slow down a bit as they wait for top 10 rotation slots to open up, and right now the newly available/freed-up top 10 spins are going to Easton Corbin, Kelsea Ballerini, and Blake Shelton.
Tim has been kind of teetering on the edge and has probably gone about as high as he's gonna go, but I do expect the next big batch of top 10 spins to go to Canaan as well as LBT.
I think this one will hang on until the end of June (or close to the end of June) and manage a top 5 peak.

Sorry to bring this up but just thought it'd be a good time because it's near the end of the line. I'm curious to all of you out there what you think the next single will be? I'm right with Daydrinker on this one...Two Lane Road is a secret smash off his EP I would love to hear that on the radio all summer! It's also possible he'll push a new song from the his album in a few weeks?

I don't even think this song is catchy. I don't think it's memorable. sabre14 makes a lot of valid points (most of which I agree with) about the unfortunate implications it presents over the city boy/country boy split, but I don't even get that much out of it. I just get a song so completely unmemorable that I forget it even while it's still playing. It doesn't move me, it doesn't stick with me. I can't even remember most of the lyrics, and I usually have an uncanny ability to recall a country song after only two listens. And in a way, I find that almost worse than if I just disliked it. Even if you dislike something, you're still giving some kind of reaction to it; it's still moving your emotions, and maybe inspiring dialogue on why you dislike it. But indifference is harder: you're not being inspired to respond in a positive or negative fashion. Whatever you're indifferent to is just there, not affecting you one way or another. I can only say "this song does literally nothing to me" so many ways because there's quite literally nothing else for me to say on it, and as someone with a critic's ear for country music, that bothers me.

I find this to be fairly decent and his voice is pretty darn strong. I pretty much echo zaclord 🌈's thoughts, as well as several others, in regard to the quality of the lyrics here. I guess the only jarring thing in this bunch was the "city boy/country boy" segment, but I think there's more potential in this gentleman than this song allows (just my two cents). I actually don't see this going all the way to #1, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Maybe I'll hear that smash hit whenever Bronco comes out? :-\

While I love this song I am more than ready for this one to leave. Canaan has proven to get his foot in the door without OTV. This run has been impressive like I thought the moment he fell out back late last year that would've been it for him. He comes off as a real nice guy so I do hope he can be here to stay.

Is this finally getting a big last push since it's now in top 3 and it's bullet is over 600 now and that's the highest the song has had yet? I am so ready for this one to go away as it's going on 275 days now on the MB chart and 49 weeks next week for Billboard, so closing on a year on both charts. Do you see "Girl Crush" passing this in time to prevent it from going #1 or do you see this now going all the way as it's now #3 on Mediabase? Still needs like 10 mil and 1,100 to 1,200 spins to get to #1 and Blake is still holding strong at #1 and Jason is still gaining and hasn't even hit #1 yet but he will. Blake is still tracking at #1 for Billboard, and may still get a 3rd week at #1.

Blake is still tracking at #1 for Billboard, and may still get a 3rd week at #1. I think Mercury is probably doing their max spins push this week, if this ad from today's Aircheck email is any indication. I'm hoping Canaan will come up short, but I'm a bit nervous after seeing today's update. Canaan gained a whopping 191 spins and over 1.25 million. Blake held level but judging by the ads Warner Bros. put out, they might be content with 2 weeks at #1 (if they were going for a 3rd week at #1, a lot of times the ad will say "#1 and holding strong!" or something like that), and so I'm not sure if I see Blake hanging on through the weekend. And then the BBR ad for Jason noted that he was #2 on both charts, but curiously didn't say "power up for #1" or "max spins now"...and that has me worried that BBR is going to play nice and let Canaan leapfrog Jason this week. I'd love to see Blake get a 3rd week at #1, with Jason taking over after him and then LBT after Jason. I don't dislike Canaan's song as some here do, but I don't want to see it hit #1. It's been out way too long, and even though it's sold well, his album hasn't. Bronco only sold 12,000 in its first week...which is pretty bad.

"Stuck" got one add as well, which might mean they've already told some stations that's the next single. I know one add doesn't mean much, but throw that in with today's monster update and it becomes pretty clear their gunning for max spins this week. I too hope it falls short, because it's simply time for it to go. I know it is still selling extremely well, but eventually some of these songs and labels are going to have to settle for a #3 or #4 peak, or the charts are only going to continue to take forever for anyone that's not an A-lister.

You may be right jhomes87, bout Jason getting passed up on MB for this Sunday but still think Canaan is going to come up short from taking #1. I realize this is just the top songs for yesterday's airplay with total points so there's a long way to go to know the final outcome this weekend for Canaan. » Country Aircheck Today Top 5: Here are the Top 5 songs for July 6, according to Mediabase 24/7. 1. BLAKE SHELTON/Sangria (Warner Bros./WMN) 4153 points 2. CANAAN SMITH/Love You Like That (Mercury) 4008 points 3. JASON ALDEAN/Tonight Looks Good On You (Broken Bow) 3933 points 4. LITTLE BIG TOWN/Girl Crush (Capitol) 3275 points 5. BRANTLEY GILBERT/One Hell Of An Amen (Valory) 3164 points
