A) Punctuation, please! [... Edited ...]I'm working on punctuation ok. >:( I just feel like an album dropping would have sales up for a little bit. Then if the album dips behind in popularity the sales will go down a little bit. I'm just not convinced this'll hit the top. With the exception of Let It Rain there's no way it's gonna hit the top you also have to keep in mind maybe Valory will really start purring Thomas Rhett song as their main focus. But whatever I'm wrong. Also sorry I'm not a good typer but can people just get off my case about it it's like this every day I'm not as perfect as you and now it's coming off as mean. I mean sorry that I screw up punctuation Sorry; my intention was not to be rude or put you down. Please, understand that without punctuation it's (sometimes) hard to understand where a sentence/thought starts and let alone grasp the sense. That's all, no offence intended. It's a message board after all where everything is typed. Maybe, use paragraphs for separation or leave wide enough spaces in between sentences/thoughts. IDK. Sorry, mate... (Stil, IDK) :| Back on topic: Valory will stay focussed and work the current single since "Just As I Am: Plantinum" has to be pushed; it's not a coincidence that Brantley is back on Spotify. Most certainly BMLG is after the SAE points for the Billboard 200. "Just As I Am" was one of the biggest sellers of last year and the sales were consistent throughout its whole chart life (averaging 2K-3K weekly sales as of late); that's better than most A-listers can boast of nowadays. Valory can work multiple artists at the same time; and Thomas Rhett is a "singles" artist whereas Brantley Gilbert is a million selling album artist with a songbook and leads sold-out concert tours; which means he's currently the bigger asset. Thomas Rhett has a nice and above average track record but he is not yet in the same league.

Maybe they'll do both but if Brantley wants a #1 it's still gonna be a while he's like right now I'd estimate at like 6th-8th to get into the top Ten on Billboard let's see Kelsea Cannan and LBT are for sure. I think Brad will get in before hand. The new Luke song will get in Frankie probably will as well. Frankie has been gaining slightly better than Brantley this week and I see Frankie sticking ahead. ZBB could and if Hunter Hayes song explodes in the coming weeks him as well. I think Brantley can do top 10 but there are so many songs that Valory is really gonna have to stay with this one for another 3 months and I don't see it happening given all the new material on his album.

I have to admit that Thomas Rhett has a spotless airplay record and is certainly more radio friendly and closer to the target demographic than Brantley Gilbert. Unfortunately, Thomas' current sound is an easier item to sell to PD's than Brantley will ever be; and consequently "Crash And Burn" will race up the chart at a much faster rate with less effort and by doing so leapfrogging label mates; it's normal. "Just As I Am: Platinum" still needs to sell around 0.2M units to get to 1M; so another single may be squeezed in after "One Hell Of An Amen" peaks in order to capitalize on the airplay action momentum. And even if BMLG has to additionally push RaeLynn and Justin Moore, etc., they can muster enough promo staff to do that. :)

I'm just not having a good feeling about this.

I can see this one going #1 yet. It did burn through a lot of weeks meandering around the cusp of the Top 40, but it is really hitting a stride on country radio as of late and its sales have also risen to be among the best-selling singles on the chart. Keep in mind I'm more than confident that the only reason his sales are up is cause of the platinum deluxe or whatever dropping that always happens. I think we'll see in the coming weeks how the digital sales stick to again. Just cause a song hits it's stride doesn't mean it's gonna hit the top. Do you think Frankie Ballard or Michael Ray have a shot at the top what about Canaan. Do you see any of those songs hitting the top. Canaan definitely will hit the top. Frankie has a great chance considering he's had 2 #1 hits in a row from the album. Michael Ray will stall in the top 20. The funny thing is about this chart is I think digital music still has a big influence on the AirPlay charts. Almost always if a song is in the top 10 on iTunes it goes to the top 10 or even #1. Just go to look at the iTunes top 10 country chart right now and see how many of the songs are in the top 10 on or getting close. I know that Little Big Town is in there and Girl Crush will definitely go top 10 if not #1.

Canaan won't though he's at 40 weeks tight now he'd need to stick it out for 9-10 weeks and by then he'd be nearing 50 and people can point at Let It Rain all they want but Canaan will probably have a higher burn rate then Davids was. Frankie needs to pick it up digitally if he wants the top. Michael Ray we agree on. Digital yeah yeah whatever. Who's to say Brantley doesn't fall right back out however.

^ raylatch98 I'm sorry if the punctuations remarks some of us (myself included) have made may have come off as mean, but what posters like trebor are trying to say, respectfully btw, is that sometimes it's hard to read your posts. We still appreciate them and you are more than welcome here in Pulse of course.

Sales of "Just As I Am" have gone past 800'000 (>802K) units. This definitely looks like it may shatter the 1M mark for real!

A$AP’s SPS number surges thanks to some very strong streaming. This year, only Drake and Kendrick Lamar have seen single week SEA (streaming-equivalent albums) over 20k. Will A$AP join that club?

So this is continuing to chug along - so close to Top 10 but is there a path? It's #11 on Mediabase building on HDD, but I know Country points are calculated a little differently, so maybe it will close week at 12. How long will they keep pushing?

"One Hell Of An Amen" landed at #12 on MB this week (leaped Brad). It's going top 10 on both charts, no worries.

It looks to me like Brantley will move up to #10 on Monday's Billboard chart. FGL should lose enough spins to go recurrent, and it looks like Brantley will leap Brad Paisley, moving 12-10 in the process, with Brad holding at #11.

Luke and Zac Brown Band should catch it before it reaches the top, and this song already has around 30 charting weeks. I really love this song and want to see it reach #1, but I get the suspicion that they might want to move on to a new song from the re-released version of Just As I Am to capitalize on the extra boost of momentum he may have gotten from it.

^I don't know for sure that Luke will catch this, and I'm doubtful ZBB will either. Songs that climb into the top 15 in only 3-5 weeks like Luke has don't generally continue the rapid pace for the rest of their chart runs. For example, "Dirt" and "Burnin' It Down" both made the top 15 in three weeks, but FGL took another 11 weeks to reach #1 and Jason another 10. Neither song ended up doing much more passing inside the top 15, and FGL was even re-passed by Luke's "Roller Coaster." "Kick the Dust Up" is following this same chart pattern, so I don't expect Luke to be much of a threat to BG here. ZBB isn't looking like much of a threat to me either, as "Loving You Easy" has been having pretty steady gains lately and "One Hell of an Amen" has started to out-gain it in audience over the past week.
By this point, I think BG is a highly likely candidate for a run to #1, probably right after LBT's "Girl Crush." I'm then looking forward to seeing how things go down between Luke, Zac Brown Band, and Sam Hunt, as I don't expect Universal to be in a hurry to play nice with the artist who awarded a Luke Bryan single the title of "worst song ever" and nearly blocked Sam Hunt from #1 on the airplay charts.

I suppose this one could still find its way to #1 yet. Anything can happen these days, aka "the days where songs chart forever". I'm seeing a fatigue rate of 22.5% on Bullseye Callout for "One Hell Of An Amen", though, which is awfully high (probably because it's been out so long). On Callout America (a completely different chart/sample that's also published by Bullseye), the fatigue rate for OHOAA is 23.4%, which is highest on the 35-position chart. The 3rd Bullseye chart, Radiofeedback, shows a 12% fatigue rate for Brantley, which is much closer to average for that particular survey.
Canaan Smith keeps chugging along, though. Ditto for Easton Corbin. Nothing against these guys (Brantley included), but I'd rather not see them hit #1. I like it when some of the really old songs peak "only" in the top 5 or top 10.

Well after going for adds in November of 2014, "One Hell Of An Amen" cracks the MB top 10 this week, at #10. :)

This is seriously poised for breaching the Top 5 within the next two weeks! :) Quite happy about the continuous success; and excellent work by the BMLG promo crew for keeping this afloat for such a long time! #ShamelessSelfPromo Brantley's chart run is archived here.

If he manages to crack the Top 3 BMLG should definitely go for a #1 push even if it's against a possible, multiple #1 week monster by Luke Bryan.

After going for adds a week and a half before Thanksgiving, "One Hell Of An Amen" finally breaks the MB top 5 this week, at #5. :)

Replicates the MB #5 on the Billboard chart, as well! :) A Top 3 looks realistic now if he manages to convert the plays to mainly prime-time and increase penetration in the big markets (Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Boston, Detroit, Seattle, Pheonix). Trust in BMLG to handle this as effectivly as possible.

Trust in BMLG to handle this as effectivly as possible. Very close to #3 on building chart! It's crazy how this song was not getting any traction when released, I sort of remember it dropping outside Top 40, then the video was released and sales definitely impacted and it started moving up. Then after being stuck in teens, once it broke through it's been a pretty steep climb. Funny how country radio promotion works.

Do you think Top 3 is enough or will they try for that MB #1? It seems like a lot of effort has been spent particularly the past three week. I wonder how much they have left.
