Wow, I kinda love this. The lead singer and female's singer voices blend so well; it is the perfect fall jam. I have never heard of these guys until now, are they well known in the Nashville circles?

They're really good. They're touring with Hunter Hayes in the fall, so they're at least that well known to get that opportunity.

I have their EP...The Railers are VERY talented. This song was actually recorded by Mockingbird Sun a few years ago and appeared on one of their EPs.

The add date is October 6 according to this week's Country Aircheck.

Mockingbird Sun, one of my top 5 favorite bands. :)

I bought the EP and love it. These guys are awesome. When I saw them open for Corey Smith earlier in the year they mentioned that These Hands might be the debut single but I guess they changed their mind. Can't wait to get the whole album.

4th most added song this week with 24 adds.

Wow this fell off quickly, the way it started I thought they were going to climb pretty high...wonder what went wrong here?

Simply put, they just got lost in the shuffle unfortunately. This song was alright and pretty catchy but it obviously did not stand out enough to PD's to add it to they're playlists. There never seemed to be much if any buzz surrounding them when this single was launched as well. 

We'll see where they go from here and when exactly we will see the groups second single.

I'm not sure what happened here. Only 5 weeks on the chart? This one wasn't doing anything on iTunes but that's not exactly uncommon for a brand new artist's debut single. It reads more as if the label pulled the song than anything else. It seemed to me that they were pretty well received on their radio tour and this song had gotten up to #49 after just a few weeks, plus Warner Bros. had several full-page ads out to promote it.

I'm really disappointed because this is a great song--it's definitely one of my favorites out right now. The lyrics are very unique and it has a bit of a 90's feel. It kinda reminds me of Diamond Rio's "How Your Love Makes Me Feel". Given this one's fairly promising start, I thought for sure that it would at least make the top 30.

Billboard allows re-entry for "Kinda Dig The Feeling" this week at #57, even though it decreased .012 in total audience.

Which makes absolutely no sense...bringing a song back from recurrent when it continues to lose airplay (yeah I know it gained a whole 4 spins, but still).

Yeah I don't quite know what in the world happened here.

First of all, I never thought it should have been sent to recurrentland so incredibly quickly - it for adds on October 6th for God's sake. Then, why would Billboard allow re-entry after a decrease (yes I know it was a super small decrease) in audience?

Two re-entries that never should have happened this week though this one was just strange from start to finish.

Very interesting to see a "Thank you country radio for welcoming us to the family / Happy Holidays from The Railers / See You in 2015" ad for these guys in Monday's Aircheck Weekly...an ad that made no mention of the single. No other artists (on Warner Music Nashville or any other label) had ads like this...it reads to me as if WMN is acknowledging that "Kinda Dig The Feeling" isn't catching on and that they're basically telling radio "We'll come back with another single in 2015, but thanks to those of you that did play KDTF". So I'm thinking that the label will pull this, and that it will probably go recurrent for good in January. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it falls out of the top 60 or gets bumped off in the next week or two and never return.

It's a shame, too, because I think this is a great debut single. I'm definitely interested to hear more from this group, though--they seem to have a lot of potential.

I really enjoy this. It's an absolute shame that it didn't do anything. Hopefully their next single does something.

This went recurrent back in November, then returned to the chart 2 weeks later. Now this week it fell all the way out of the top 60 (which is different from going recurrent). This time I don't expect it to return.

I liked this song a lot so it's a bummer that it couldn't get any higher than #49. I listened to a bunch of their songs a while back, but I can't remember all of the titles. Hopefully their 2nd single is a good one, and hopefully it does better at radio than this did.
