Yikes, this is a very weak week. I went with Rascal Flatts and Kristy Lee Cook.

"Better at Night" is finally going for adds? That seemed to come out of nowhere, lol. What label is Tate Stevens with now? I'd heard it a fair bit on the radio over the summer, but only because he's from Kansas City, so we're probably the only market that was playing it, lol.

Anyways, I voted for Rascal Flatts as "Riot" is the clear frontrunner among this group of songs. Gave my second vote to "Better at Night," because I do like Tate's voice and it's better than his debut single.

Mom, Riot

It's been listed as going for adds on Music Row for about a month or two now. I knew it would do absolutely nothing with RPM's radio promotion team gone so I guess I never bothered to mention it myself, lol.

It is quite strange that it's there at all.

Was just about to post this very same thing. I voted for the same ones, but neither deserved a vote honestly.

Garth Brooks gets the legitimate vote. I do really like this song. 
Rascal Flatts gets the second vote purely because the rest is bubbling under material (at least for the moment being).
