"Chillin' It" was alright and it was catchy (but it landed during my drought)
But this song is just not appealing to me.

I know this is going to be not taken well, but you've just made like 25 posts in 20 minutes. I understand you're just catching up with this genre and I have no doubts you're a lovely person, but for songs that are just okay for you and you have no real opinion on, maybe skip posting about them.

This song is shaping up to be another big hit for Cole. What's amazing though is how his songs seem to be climbing rather quickly for an artist still on his debut album cycle. Compare him to Parmalee and even Brett Eldredge, and his song are surging quicker than some of his peers. Sales are great for this as well. With the album still only a year old and still moving discs, it seems certain that he'll release a 4th single. There's lots of solid radio friendly options for him as well, so things are really looking bright for Cole. Swayin' and Dozen Roses and a 6-pack sound like very safe bets for radio.

You got that right. This went for adds the same week as Dustin Lynch's latest, and you can make quite the drastic comparison in the chart performance between the two of those so far.

I'm pretty sure "Hey Y'all" will be the next single...Not a lyrical masterpiece but definitely a good signature song for his live shows. The Highway's support for all Cole Swindell's songs have definitely helped his radio momentum as well as his sales, and I think Cole's close association with Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Jason Aldean is quickly pulling him up the ladder to radio's A-list. Now he just needs another song that hits really big like "Chillin' It" to cement a place among the ranks of these artists. My guess would be that the lead single from his sophomore album does this.

Let Me See Ya Girl will be the next single, but Worth the Whiskey will be Cole's biggest song to date. Shaping up to be the first male artist to debut with three consecutive #1s in the format's history. Folks about to realize that he is the next superstar in the genre.

I believe that honour goes to Sam Hunt in the long run. I hope you're wrong, but you probably won't be :( Anyway, I like this song, and thought his last two were alright honestly. But I hope they're done with this album after this. The only songs of quality left on this album are "A Dozen Roses and A Six Pack" and "The Back Roads and The Back Row". I doubt the next single would be either of those two. Guys like Swindell and Luke and Aldean aren't ready to surrender the party vibe. Songs like "Hey Y'all" and "Let Me See Ya Girl" would do well for Swindell but they're the same cliched that most people are fed up with. And a song like "Brought To You By Beer" would DEFINENTLY not be good for the genre

These artists like Cole, Jason, Luke, etc. fulfill that particular want and I for one am content with that.

In the Pulse world I believe that's pretty true.

This single is going to have a pretty speedy climb through the top 10 with a pretty big clean-out going on. Next week, the top 3 songs should all start falling and I don't expect Jason Aldean or Brett Eldredge to spend more than one week at the top, so provided Cole goes up right after "Lonely Eyes," this will be #1 a month from Monday, which would mean a 25-week climb to #1 (which includes several weeks of pre-release airplay and lingering in the 50's). I'm not sure if this will end up reaching the top a week sooner and blocking Chris Young. WMN usually plays nice with other artists so I do have a feeling both will get a turn at the top of both charts, although at the rates the two are currently gaining Cole could be ahead of Chris as soon as Monday's Billboard chart.

While I agree with most of your points, aren't you the one who just lamented fearing songs like "Homegrown Honey" and "Crushin It" are the future of bro country (while both songs are assuredly better than the majority of new trash current country radio has to weed through). I just can't imagine the same person saying that FGL experienced "artistic growth" with their second album, when there are essentially three differentiable songs on their album: "Dirt", "Sun Daze", and everything that sounds like "Tell Me How You Like It" from their first album. That being said, the sound of Cole's songs on his Down Home EP was noticably different than the sound on this album. Just as the early releases from Luke's new Spring Break sound different than those from his prior Spring Break, which were conclusively hip-hop influenced.

^Florida Georgia Line's previous album didn't have anything like "Dirt," "Confession," "Smoke," or even "Sippin' on Fire" and their deepest song was considered to be "Stay," which was still seen by many as having some pretty immature, silly lyrics. I'd say the duo definitely tried some new topics and sounds on their second record. Since Cole Swindell tends to write songs with the same crowd of writers as Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Chase Rice, etc., I expect he'll try to dig a bit deeper and mix things up a bit, too.
I should also tweak the prediction I posted about this song yesterday. It now looks like there will be three weeks at #1 split between "Make Me Wanna" and "Lonely Tonight," which would mean "Ain't Worth the Whiskey" will probably peak in week 26 on the chart. I'm currently expecting "Lonely Eyes" to stay neck-and-neck with this for a few more weeks and do a push for #1 first. If Chris' song can continue to put up strong gains it'll be able to get a week at #1 on the Billboard chart. If not, Chris could end up with a Mediabase-only #1 and Cole will get two weeks at #1 on Billboard.

Cole performed "Hey Y'All" along with his 3 radio hits at CRS 2015. That may be a possible hint on the 4th single?

It certainly would be a safe choice for a 4th single from a debut album, but I wonder if that one has enough substance to move sales. It would seem like a radio fluff summer single though.

As I said earlier, Lemme See Ya Girl will be the next single. It will be publicly derided as "Bro-Country" but the fans will love it. It was this-close to being the song that got Cole started and he will own it as such. It will do well on the charts and then it will be on to Album #2 which is going to be unbelievably good.

It was this-close to being the song that got Cole started and he will own it as such. It will do well on the charts and then it will be on to Album #2 which is going to be unbelievably good. Since "Hey Y'all" was performed at the CRS New Faces show, that's the most likely contender for the next single. Right now, it's looking like this will hold "Lonely Eyes" to a Mediabase-only #1. Cole was only 250k behind Chris in Billboard audience numbers on Monday's chart, and he's out-gained Chris in audience on Mediabase every day this month, yet Chris has still been keeping a strong lead in both spins and points on Mediabase, which is a perfect indication of a forthcoming Mediabase-only #1 for Chris. I actually think RCA will end up dealing with a single that stalls in the top 5 and needs sort of a push just to get the Mediabase-only #1 with a #2 peak on Billboard, so even if WMN does try to play nice, there's pretty much no way around this getting two weeks at #1. This will just increase the "forgettable-ness" of Chris' A.M. era, as he'll end up with no Billboard #1's. Sam Hunt will probably trail Cole at #1 on the Billboard chart. I think "Homegrown Honey" will end up sneaking in a Mediabase-only #1, but I don't think Darius can stay ahead of Cole even on Mediabase, so what's more likely is that Sam Hunt's label, MCA Nashville, another divison of UMG Nashville, will allow Capitol to keep Darius' song ahead for a week at #1 on Mediabase before "Take Your Time."

I really like this song. It's the first song from him that I've truly enjoyed. My first impression of Cole was "Chillin' It" and I didn't care for at all, so I wasn't too eager to hear more from him. However, both this and "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" have been much better so at least I know he's capable of recording good songs. And his live vocals are better than I assumed they'd be. I saw a performance of this song on YouTub and thought his vocal delivery was solid.

The opening guitar riffs in this song sound exactly like another big hit (probably from the last 10 years or so), but I can't figure out what song that this one reminds me of, and it's been driving me crazy for weeks now.
Anybody have any guesses?
I'm talking about the first 10 seconds of the song:
The opening melody/progression of the first 10-11 seconds of this one (especially the notes at the 4-5 second mark) sound really similar to another song, but again, I just can't quite place it.

Definitely agree jhomes. I want to say it's from a Kenny Chesney hit but I'm not quite sure.

jhomes87 and Markus Meyer, is it possible the song you're thinking of is Round Here by Florida Georgia Line? The drum into to begin both songs sounds exactly identical.

Sitting at #2 today, and a very good potential to be a two week #1 starting next week. Pretty impressive that this song will make it to #1 almost as fast as Jason Aldean's latest effort in less than 140 days. Also, stands to be the first artist to have his first three singles top the Mediabase chart, I do believe.

^Wynonna Judd and Darius Rucker both took their first three country singles to #1. Zac Brown Band's first nine singles went to #1 on Mediabase. ("Whatever It Is" peaked at #2 on Billboard, though.) Florida Georgia Line's first four singles went to #1, so Cole's not the first and I also think this is becoming less of an accomplishment in a time where the country charts have a revolving door at #1. While Cole Swindell's success is very impressive so far, I don't think his discography is quite as noteworthy as it would have been five or six years ago. Sam Hunt is also likely to replicate this streak of career-leading #1 singles.
This has charted for 23 weeks on Billboard Country Airplay so far. Jason Aldean's song took 20 weeks to reach #1. However, both songs received a few weeks of charting before they officially impacted country radio, so Cole Swindell's song really is only one week older than Jason Aldean's.
