The Highway added "Enough" to their "On The Horizon" show, which airs on the weekends.
This doesn't confirm its the next radio single but it's certainly a strong indication.

Ugly update today. I'm still hopeful for a top 30 finish (especially with so many weeks bouncing around in the 31-33 area), but this might be the end of the road. At least it made it all the way to 20 weeks.

At least it made it all the way to 20 weeks. Yeah "Going Out Like That" is definitely near the end. Reba's lost 545k in audience on MB since Sunday and 12 out of the 20 spin leaders have saw a decrease in her spins over the past seven days. The problem is that her song has been spun so many times on the Cumulus stations that the burn effect really takes it's tole and to be honest, I'm slightly surprised her song held on for this long. She (to no surprise) got zero adds this week as well.

So Jennifer now looks to be releasing her new single in late June or early July. I just assumed Enough would be the second single but do you think her label would discourage that with her own single coming out?

I was listening to the radio today and I don't know why and I doubt it'd happen but thought it was interesting. In a clip they did for something to do with the station part of the instrumental included was Until They Don't Love You...I could see it being the next single because its the song she did in concert.

I just assumed Enough would be the second single but do you think her label would discourage that with her own single coming out? According to Windmills, NASH Icon is testing "Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet", "Until They Don't Love You" and "Just Like Them Horses" for Reba's next single. It appears that with Jennifer releasing her solo single in a few weeks that put the kibosh on "Enough."

^My vote Just Like Them Horses a stunning and beautiful song. Also Reba doesn't have to worry on Airplay.

Darn, it's a shame the timing couldn't work out better with Jennifer Nettles for "Enough" to be the next single, but hopefully they can still release it down the line, maybe third and it can coincide with a killer performance on the CMAs? But if it's getting passed on for single #2, then I hope they go with either "Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet" or "Until They Don't Love You." Both of them are in a similar vein to GOLT in terms of radio-friendliness and they're among my favorites on the album. I'd definitely advise against "Just Like Them Horses" even though I suppose Reba is probably guaranteed at least some airplay through her label's radio partnership. Still, not a lot of hit potential with releasing that one, but maybe they can stretch this era 4-5 singles deep and it can come at the tail-end of the era, where it would be fine. For now, I'd rather see them throw out another viable radio hit and hope that at least a handful of outside stations get on board.

This doesn't surprise me actually. I was wondering how they were going to push "Enough", given that Jennifer has a new single coming out.
I'm not surprised that they're testing "Until They Don't Love You" and "Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet". Both would be great singles, though I'd prefer UTDLY. "Just Like Them Horses" does surprise me. It's a great song of course, but I don't think releasing it second is smart at all. It's fine as the last single, but not now when they're trying to get a big hit.

"Just Like Them Horses" has Grammy potential. It really is a beautiful vocal and amazingly written song. Grammys like to award or at least nominate older artists, I hope her album is in the running for Country Album of the Year there as well. Really disappointed about "Enough" though, hopefully soon.

I think LAKMY and UTDLY would both be excellent choices. I agree with everyone's thoughts on JLTH - fantastic song but not sure it would get airplay. I personally would love to hear That's When I Knew on the radio, or at least see Reba perform it live!

I think UTDLY is the best choice as far as airplay. They could also use the footage for the Out Number Hunger performance for the video & get the video out quickly. However I could see the label thinking JLTH would push more album sales & at the end of the day that's what the label is looking for more than airplay though often times that goes hand in hand. I agree that releasing JLTH could get Reba a Grammy nomination for best performance. I could also see it increasing her chances of getting Album of the year nominations too. I think it might be a gamble though. I hope they go with UTDLY. It's a fun song that's cleverly written & think it would be a better choice for the summer. However, I won't be entirely disappointed if they go with JLTH either.

I'll go out on a limb and make a prediction. Mercury smells a big #1 hit in Enough and wants it to appear on Jennifer's next album. Jennifer's lead-off single should be done by or shortly before CMA time so Enough will be her second single and it will be supported by an epic CMA performance. That makes it easy for Mercury to collaborate in pushing the song at radio. Everybody wins.

I do like LAKMY as a single. Just at some point they have to release "Enough" and I'll be fine. I think "Enough" is a Grammy potential song as well, in the Duo or Group category and Song category, within the country section, obviously. They might as well go five deep with this album, because what do they have to lose and how long until we get another album?

I am fully expecting "Until They Don't Love You" to be released. It is, in my opinion, the catchiest, most radio-friendly, and cleverest song on the album. "Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet" is a close second. I would say it is a guaranteed single if there weren't so many strong uptempo songs on the album. The one that truly baffles me is "Just Like Them Horses". It is a wonderful song, but I think it is just too much of a risk right now. At this point Reba's songs are not likely to get widely accepted by mainstream radio anyway, and that song would pretty much guarantee that radio doesn't touch it. But, the Cumulus stations would probably still play it to death, as they demonstrated with "Going Out Like That". Except I see JLTH being a song that would have an exceptionally high burn rate, so being played to death by a small amount of stations would probably not work out in Reba's favor in the long run. Yes the Grammy potential is strong, but the failure chance is quite strong as well...
I must admit I was under the impression that the second release could not possibly be anything other than "Enough"... Fortunately this album has enough hit potential, I don't see anything squandering the album's momentum so much that the label stops after two singles. Unless they take a gamble and lose with JLTH. Or if they go completely off their rockers and release "She Got Drunk Last Night"...

UTDLY is the perfect next single if it can't be "Enough". It fits perfect with the modern Country play list. JLTH would be great for a Winter single but heavy material like that would never make the top 40 I'm afraid for Reba. This isn't the 90s anymore where she should get by with "Greatest Man" "John" and even "And Still." Radio is just too shallow now. UTDLY is a rocking song that is her best chance at out peaking GOLT.

I thought Enough was the best shot for second single at giving the album enough of a jolt for at least a third single. Now I'm having flashbacks to the Duets era where some guaranteed smash duets were not released because of competing singles from the duet partners.
So without that, I'm sort of torn. UTDLY does seem like the obvious choice at having some type of radio presence but if GOLT could not make top 30 as a first single, what more could UTDLY offer? Maybe she should take a riskier approach and see if it pays off. Everything seems to be working against Just Like Them Horses...her gender, her age, the tempo, the lyrics/message. But with the recent saladgate, maybe there's enough brewing backlash that such a risk could be what ushers in change. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. :)
Personally, if they are considering ballads, I'm surprised they're not looking at That's When I Knew. I seem to recall it doing the best among unreleased tracks when the album came out.

I think that radio won't support Reba due to the whole label radio stuff so why not just release Just Like Them Horses. It's the best song on the album and those I think Cumulus stations will just play it as much like Going Out Like That.

Didnt Reba say one of the reasons she picked Jennifer as a duet partner was because she didn't have anything out competing against the single? I'm hoping after they recorded "Enough" maybe Jennifer & her label were in fact thinking about doing a new album & adding "Enough" to it. If not, then I don't know why they wouldnt have waited to release her single AFTER "Enough" was released. It just seems kind of rushed to me.......

Man these prearranged airplay debuts are killing Reba. This is now the third time (I think) that she has missed the top 30 because of one. I've said this about a million times before, but if she can hang on, next week is looking good for the top 30. "Games" will go recurrent and Jake Owen will likely slip a little (though nowhere near as much as Hunter Hayes or Steven Tyler). That should open up two spots, one for Reba and one for Cole Swindell. All she needs to do is keep her bullet (or just lose enough to get a grace week).

Since it's a second single, hopefully it will miss the top 30, like Steven Tyler and Hunter Hayes. Edit: On second thought, maybe the deal for the new single will make "Don't It" fall even sharper than it would have, and go recurrent. It's a long shot, as it would need to lose about 10 million AI (assuming Jason Aldean has a similar week to this week), but it is possible.

All these deals and this song will peak at #31. I'd hate to see it go out like that!

At the risk of playing a conspiracy theory card, anyone else find the timing of these constant "deals" - by a Cumulus rival, no less! - suspicious? For that matter, one has to wonder just how much life "Gonna Wanna Tonight" could possibly have left in it...

Billy Currington appears to only have had a 'mini' deal, so I don't think he'll pass her this week. He's not even in the Mediabase top 50 today, so I don't think he'll be able to debut in Billboard's top 30. That really helps Reba out....all she has to do is gain/maintain. She's added AI both days on Mediabase so far this week (though yesterday was better than today). I think she actually has a decent shot now, but of course it's only been two days, and anything can still happen.

And on Mediabase, just today she's back up to #33. She'll pass "Games" and Eric Paslay (I think this is Eric's week to go recurrent anyway...?), and Tyler Farr will also go, so - if she can stay ahead of the pack she's in through Sunday, she'll be #30 there.

Yep, "Games", "She Don't Love You" and "A Guy Walks Into A Bar" will all go recurrent on Sunday evening. Reba technically could as well but she's increased 12 spins and 486k in audience so far this week. "Going Out Like That" only has to worry about "Run Away With You" and "Already Callin' You Mine". Big & Rich have gained 385k less in audience and have actually lost 10 spins, so Reba passed them today. Both songs are super close in total points though, while Parmalee has gained over 100 spins and 600k in audience this week but they were further back when the week started so right now they are last in line. It's too early to call whether Reba can crack the MB top 30 on Sunday.
