Been a little concerned about this one lately. I know it had a strong update yesterday, but prior to that, this song has been floundering with small gains the past few weeks. It also fell to last in the pack of songs it was moving up with (Lonely Eyes, Homegrown Honey, and Ain't Worth The Whiskey). Lee had been floundering a bit mostly because Curb doesn't have the "relationships" with country radio that all the other labels do. That's why Curb can't get any new artists off the ground. Curb's CEO said as much at CRS the other day. They've struggled to navigate the world of conglomerate radio over the last 10 years, and I'm really not surprised that they've fallen off so much as a label. I also think this one has struggled a bit because it's a drinking song. I've read a lot of comments from PD's lately who wish there were fewer drinking songs. Of course, that doesn't explain the success of a song like Cole Swindell's "Ain't Worth The Whiskey", but then again, that's not really a song about drinking so much as it is a song about a breakup. Lee's now entered the top 10 and "Drinking Class" has been on fire the last couple of days as more and more stations are starting to give it those top 10 power conversions. I think Lee will still be able to get into the top 2 at least. In my opinion, his only real concern is Sam Hunt. "Take Your Time" is looking like a mammoth cross-over hit. I'm not sure it can spend more than 2-3 weeks at #1 on country radio, but I do think it will get there and it could come at the expense of another song. The top 3 (Thomas, Blake, and Randy) should all start to fall soon, although I'm guessing Blake will hold at the top spot through next week. After that, I think we'll see Jason, Brett, Chris, and Cole all get to #1. I actually think Darius is the weakest link in the top 10 right now--he's been doing fine lately, but I'm not convinced that that one will get to #1, whereas I think Lee has a pretty good chance of getting there. Sales for "Drinking Class" have been really solid (just as they were for "I Don't Dance"), although Lee's album sales have fallen off sharply this era, as compared to the sales for his Hard 2 Love album.

Yeah as soon as I posted this Lee's song catches on fire . But I too remember reading about PD's holding songs back, and trying to have only 2-3 drinking songs in high rotation at a time. Makes sense, as I'm sure radio doesn't want to give off the impression that Country radio is all about alcohol. One wrench that's been thrown out and clogging the situation is Rhett and "Make Me Wanna" really holding on well. If his song had plummeted like most do these days, then I'd say Blake and his team would have been content with just one week at #1 on both Charts. But if Rhett spends another week at #1 on MB, Blake and his team will have to go for a second week.

To me, this isn't more of a drinking song than "Ain't Worth the Whiskey." "Drinking class" is basically a synonym for "working class." The only mention of drinking in the lyrics is in the lines "raise your glass," and then in the bridge when Lee says "a little fun...a little whiskey...beer." To me, the lyrics are kind of weak and vague, but I wouldn't group this as a drinking song. I do understand why programmers would treat it as such, though, since the title mentions drinking and a casual listener not paying much attention to the lyrics may not catch what this is really about. I also agree that Lee may also be struggling a bit more since he's on Curb Records.
I doubt Lee will have trouble getting to #1. "Take Your Time" should go up way ahead. I imagine that after Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, and Brett Eldredge finish in the top 5, the sequence of #1's will be: Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Sam Hunt (for two solid weeks on both charts), and then Lee Brice and Zac Brown Band. I can't peg the exact week just yet, but I'd guess this is in for a 35-week climb to the top.

This seems to be falling victim to label politics. "Drinking Class" has already sold enough digital units for a Gold certification (584k as of March 25) and sits at #5 on the Mediabase National Callout chart, yet Dierks Bentley's "Say You Do" is just a day or two from passing this and has over six times the spins bullet this has on Mediabase. I was always expecting Dierks' song to be a solid #1 and I don't feel "Say You Do" is a manufactured hit at all, but I never would have thought SYD would be even a remote threat to DC on either chart. Lee seemed in a perfect position to go up right after ZBB and Sam Hunt and get to #1 in about 35 weeks, but now this is looking like a Mediabase-only #1 at best, and quite possibly a #2 or #3 peak. I can't really see why this would be struggling the way it has and continues to other than Curb just doesn't have the relationships with country radio that other labels have, which really should have little to no influence on the airplay charts.

I was just looking at Lee Brice's discography and his single sales are quite impressive. His last six singles have gone at least Gold, 7 of his last 8 singles have gone at least Gold, and he's had four Platinum hits since 2009. I know he's been helped greatly by long chart runs, but it's impressive nonetheless.

I think this song's #1 push is going to occur week after next, and whether it gets there or not will come down to whether Capitol Nashville decides to push "Say You Do" for two weeks at #1. Keith's "Raise 'Em Up" just doesn't look like it's going to gain fast enough to catch Lee, and since Capitol has put the brakes on "Say You Do" this week I don't doubt that Curb has been able to get stations to give this song a few more spins that they might have given to Dierks if Capitol were pushing SYD harder. I'd say the chance "Drinking Class" has of going the distance vs. the chance "Say You Do" has of staying at #1 for two weeks and blocking this is about 50-50 right now. I don't recall ever seeing a song with sales as low as "Say You Do" get two weeks at #1 and Lee Brice's song is putting forth all the numbers (cumulative sales and research scores) of a #1 hit, but it'd still be strange to see a song struggle as much as this has and manage to get to #1 on both charts. This will also be Lee's slowest-rising #1 single to date at 35 weeks, topping out "I Don't Dance" which took 27 weeks to rise to the top.

It really doesn't feel like it's had any kind of push though. It almost seems like Dierks has had some big gains in the last 2 weeks that maybe came too quick. I just can't imagine that Curb isn't going to try and give this a push but I could see them trying for next week and trying to get a split #1. Not sure they can gain that much on Dierks but I also don't know if they can wait another 2 weeks to try for #1.

It wouldn't have surprised me to see this peak outside of #1, but its timing has been pretty good. Keith/Eric are relatively far away, and Dierks' song doesn't seem like it'll be a big multi-week #1, so if Lee can keep gaining for two more weeks, #1 should be his. I guess it all depends on if his song can keep going for another couple of weeks, since it doesn't seem like he'll be blocked by anybody.

This might reach #1 on both charts, or else it could make it to the top only on MB because there it has a bigger lead on Urban. Or it could peak at #2. I thought it was just about out of steam a week ago, but now it's finding some new strength just as REU is slowing down a bit. But a few good days would enable the duet to pass this song, at least on Billboard, very quickly.

To be fair to "Raise 'Em Up" I think Universal is pushing Sam and Dierks right now. I expect big gains for it this week once Sam starts falling.

This will also be Lee's slowest-rising #1 single to date at 35 weeks, topping out "I Don't Dance" which took 27 weeks to rise to the top. The problem for Lee is that his song has a high burn rate, and I think it's natural peak was a couple of weeks ago already. It's just moved up so slowly through the top 10, and then last week it lost over 100 spins on the Billboard Indicator chart...which, again, I think shows that this one is past its natural peak. Dierks, on the other hand, has moved up strongly through the top 10, and his song doesn't have as high of a burn rate either. "Drinking Class" sold well early on but its sales have definitely tapered off since it entered the top 10. It's still selling fairly well on a week-to-week basis, but I can remember it being in the 50's to 70's all-genre on iTunes when it was still in the teens and 20's on the airplay charts. I don't see Dierks getting 2 weeks at #1, but I don't know that that necessarily means Lee will get to the top either. For Billboard, obviously we'll have Sam at #1 on Monday, and then I expect Dierks to be #1 on the 27th. I've got "Raise 'Em Up" projecting to about 37.5 million for tomorrow's Billboard chart, which means that it's maybe 5-6 million away from #1, which should be easily doable between now and Monday the 4th of May. Maybe Lee can sneak in and REU won't hit #1 until the 11th, but I don't think REU will want to hold back much, given that Tyler Farr's song is a lead single from an album that drops in less than 2 weeks. I could see Lee maybe mounting a big enough push to get to #1 on Mediabase (probably for Sunday the 3rd), but I don't think his chances are all that great. I think it's more likely that "Drinking Class" will peak at #2 or #3 on both charts. Keith and Eric are also performing "Raise 'Em Up" on the ACM Awards tonight, and so I think it'll start seeing some big time conversions this coming week (along with Tyler Farr and maybe Billy Currington), especially with ZBB and Sam now shedding quite a bit of airplay (and Sam will start to fall much faster by Tuesday or Wednesday).

I would like to see "That Don't Sound Like You" or "Sirens" as the next single. "Sirens" would be a little different for Lee, but I think "That Don't Sound Like You" is the safer choice for radio. Given how long "Drinking Class" took to peak, if this song takes equally long, I could see them moving on to the next album after 3 singles, though I'm not ready to be bold and predict that yet.

I think it's going to be an uphill climb trying to get a third single from this record up the charts, but Curb really doesn't have a choice. It's too early to move on to a new album after "Drinking Class" and if Lee took a break for 6-8 months he'd risk losing even more momentum. While I do expect "That Don't Sound Like You" to get released next, I'm not confident it'll be a top 10 hit.

Though "That Don't Sound Like You" is a great song, I'm fearful of it not doing great on the charts and slowing his momentum. While it is certainly not the best song on the album by any means, I think that "Show You Off Tonight" would be better for radio and allow Lee to get into the top ten easier than any other song out of the fourteen that are left.

This doesn't appear to be out of the race for #1 yet. It definitely has had the sales for a #1 despite it's slow climb.

Re-enters Billboard Hot 100 at #56 Refresh my memory...why did it leave? Because it got recurrent after 20 weeks on the Hot 100. I guess that by breaching the National Airplay Chart Top 25 (Radio Songs) at #21 this week and a continuous bullet status allowed it to re-chart.

You guys are sounding as if this song flopped and Lee has lost all momentum. This song has been a big hit for Lee. This has surely been a big hit for Lee, but in terms of radio, I still think this is going to use up Lee's momentum. This has been a really slow climber all around and radio has shown a surprising amount of resistance to the song considering the decent numbers it has had. It'll end up taking 35 weeks to reach #1 and burning fast. Lee Brice is a B-lister at best and as B-listers go deeper into an album singles only take longer to climb the chart. If the second single takes 35 weeks to reach #1, the third single will probably end up taking well over 40 weeks to get anywhere, or could get really lost in the shuffle and peak way below the top 10. So I agree that this is a hit, but for some reason radio just hasn't been thrilled about Lee Brice this era and I think two #1's is about as much as Curb can get Lee off this album.

I think Lee can score a hit with a 3rd single yet. Sometimes the 2nd single can climb faster than the 1st, and the 3rd faster than the 2nd. It really depends on the release schedule. A mid/late May release for his next single might prove to be good timing, as the list of upcoming singles is a little shorter right now.
I've been hearing "Drinking Class" a ton on the radio lately (lots today), and it appears that Lee is in the running for the Mediabase #1 this weekend. I actually think that could turn out good for Dierks Bentley, because Capitol would probably keep pushing "Say You Do" through May 2/3 then, allowing Dierks to possibly get 2 weeks at #1 on Billboard. I think Lee is too far behind Dierks on BB for "Drinking Class" to have a realistic chance at the Billboard #1 on Monday, but I'd say it's definitely in contention for the MB #1.

He's an artist radio likes and he has radio (and sales) friendly stuff on the album. He'll have no problem getting a Top 10 hit. As for Dierks "Say You Do" (which you mentioned a few posts back), that song is at around 300k downloads. That song has sold more than MANY Top 10 country radio hits, including Chesney's #1 "Til It's Gone." It's more of a radio hit than a 'gottahaveable' download track.

rsmatto, I don't see how three #1 singles from Lee's previous album is any indication that a third single from this album will have a decent climb up the charts. The singles from this album seem to me to have received way less radio enthusiasm than the stuff off Lee's last album. Even the #6 peaking "Parking Lot Party" made the top 10 in under 20 weeks, while "I Don't Dance" took 21 weeks to reach the top 10 and 27 weeks to reach #1 and "Drinking Class" will take 35 weeks to peak. I'm not saying I don't think Lee Brice can get another top 10 off this album, but I think it'd be a really slow climb up the charts. But I agree with you that he has some potential strong sellers left on the record. Regarding "Say You Do," I'm not quite sure which post you are responding to, since I mentioned the song a few times, but "Til It's Gone" was probably the worst-selling #1 single in at least a year (maybe since a previous Kenny Chesney #1 like "Reality"), so it's not that big an accomplishment to outsell that song. But I was never implying "Say You Do" wasn't a big radio hit, and I did explicitly state in my posts that the song didn't feel like a manufactured hit to me at all. All I was saying was that it's strange to see Dierks' song leap right past "Drinking Class" when DC has sold way more digital copies. I would have expected both songs to get one solid week at #1. I never would have imagined Lee would have to do a big push just to get a Mediabase-only #1 with Dierks getting two weeks on Billboard. SYD simply didn't seem like that big a hit. The point I was trying to make was that it's surprising to see "Drinking Class" selling so well and still encountering a bit of resistance from radio. I know it may seem like I'm splitting hairs here, though, since this will end up with a top 2 finish which really isn't bad for Curb Records at all.

If this does indeed peak at #2 on Billboard, then this will be a peak that won't accurately reflect the popularity of the song. "Drinking Class" has outsold "Sun Daze", "Lonely Tonight", "Ain't Worth The Whiskey", "Mean To Me" and "Just Gettin' Started". Now grant it, it has had more weeks on the chart then most of those songs, but still, this one has consistently sold well throughout it's chart run, and Lee is even coming off a Single Of The Year award at the same time this song is peaking. It's quite obvious to me that this is merely a case where being on Curb is really hurting Lee, because if he was on any other major label, I think this would have been #1 already.
