Ok I'm confused. How is this almost in the Top 30 for country iTunes. Did these guys perform it somewhere is Bobby Bones to blame I'm just puzzled. I do like the song well enough though.

Bobby Bones AND SiriusXM The Highway helped this. It was trending upwards anyway just from SXM. But I'm very happy and hope radio will jump on it. Certainly deserves it. It's the most-radio friendly single they've ever released.

I hate Bobby Bones but I'll thank him for this at least halfheartedly. I still see this maybe scrapping The Top 50.

That show has quite a bit of power and their label (with deep pockets) certainly could work the song up the charts. That's what's going against them on major market stations right now. The same issue that Broken Bow once faced and Black River is just now getting over. Oddly, this hasn't even been really worked at Secondary radio yet.

This song is being used during the college baseball playoffs on the ESPN family of networks. Snippets of the chorus are being played when they come back from commercials and at the end of innings.

Ha, I noticed that as well. For some reason I've kept the college baseball playoffs on in the background while online, lol. I actually like this song now. The lyrics are cliche in the chorus but the melody is pleasant enough and some of the verse lyrics are unique. It's getting played out the you know what on The Highway though.

I think "I Love This Life" has a shot at a top 40 peak. Its #44 on this past week's Billboard chart and is currently at #47 on the MB rolling chart, granted, just a gain of less than 20k in total audience since Sunday. Its selling very well though for a song in the mid 40's as "I Love This Life" is #79 on the country iTunes chart (The Highway is a big contributor in that). This is the highest charting single from LoCash (Cowboys) since "Keep In Mind" in early 2011.
I listened to a couple of their songs on The Highway from CMA Music Fest this past week and they really are infuriating. They've shown they have fine songs like this one (I said "fine", not great) and outstanding ones like "Best Seat In The House" and "Keep In Mind" (even though they didn't write the latter), but there was a song or two that did not sound promising; most notably "Drunk Drunk", which lyrically sounds like a song I could have written when I was 12, lol.

"Shipwrecked" is amazing. link

Dare I say their vocal performance was good? Hopefully the studio version is also good, which is possible with them since I thought "Best Seat In The House" was wonderfully produced, and well written.

They've said that. It's also the name of their line of wine that was just released. They're really good guys.

I'm obsessed w/ this song. I saw where it's #1 on The Highway's countdown this week + getting closer to breaking Top 40.

I've been hearing this a fair amount on radio and I must admit that I like it, which is nice considering I've cared very little for LoCash Cowboys in the past. This isn't great like "Best Seat in the House" was, but it's an inoffensive enough and mildly catchy song for radio. I always think this song sounds like Jack Ingram though when I first listen to it, more specifically "Barefoot and Crazy."

I like this song too. It took a while for it to grow on me but it's catchy and not offensive like .indulgecountry said. I certainly don't want country radio being dominated by these sort of songs but I guess it looks a whole lot better considering some of the other singles on the radio I've had to dodge lately. I also think it has a decent shot at a top 40 peak. "I Love This Life" is up 32 spins and nearly 300k in audience this week. It's accumulated 175 spins and 800k in total audience the past 25 days on MB, and its selling very well (#293 on the all-genre chart). The Highway has really helped this song out with its sales, but it's still a very notable achievement since I have never associated LoCash (Cowboys) with great sales. The problem with "I Love This Life" is that it's on about 15-20 less stations than the neighboring songs around it -- likely due to the fact that it's being promoted by newly formed Star Farm Nashville and Reviver Records, and that name recognition and the sales have made this song survive this long. The spin leaders for this song are really helping them out though, with ten stations over 20 spins per week and five stations with 30 spins or more a week. If they can hang on for a top 40 finish, then it would become their second top 40 single ("Keep In Mind").

Reviver has hired Gator Michaels and other veteran radio promo guys (and girls) to lead an in house promo team. Looks like Star Farm will be dropped from promoting this and all other Reviver artists soon.

I wonder how long that's been in the works because "I Love This Life" has been doing pretty good the past few weeks and even though this song is on about 10-15 stations less than singles surrounding it, the leaders for this song have really been helping it out.

Most likely it was happening behind the scenes before now. Reviver does seemed to be well-financed. So We'll see what happens.

I'm not super crazy about his voice or the production to open this song, but I hear this one very frequently. Obviously The Highway plays the heck out of it, but also my local station plays it a lot. Everybody I know loves the song. I'm sure it will catch on if it can get some more promotion.

"I Love This Life" has a shot at a top 40 finish on tomorrow's MB chart (this song already cracked the Billboard top 40). LoCash have had their best week since entering the chart as they've increased 800k in audience and sit at #43 on the rolling chart, with Easton and Blake going recurrent tomorrow (Austin Webb has fallen below). According to my point projections, "I Love This Life" and "Southern Style" are extremely close -- perhaps less than 10 total points apart, and Chase Bryant's song isn't too far ahead either. It should be interesting to see if all three songs stay in their positions or if LoCash can leap one or both.
This song is really starting to pick up steam but I'm unsure of exactly how far this song can go with it being promoted by Reviver and their new promotion staff; plus the song is rather old. This is definitely their most successful single since "Keep In Mind" from late 2010/early 2011.

This is definitely their most successful single since "Keep In Mind" from late 2010/early 2011. Given the resources of Reviver, I'd bet money this will get as far as radio will let it. If any song for a somewhat established act actually deserved on the verge after Cam, it might be this one, which is still unknown to most of the radio stations. It should at least out peak "Keep In Mind."

This just missed the MB top 40 this week, by 47 total points as Chase Bryant held off by Sunday evening. Heck Darius at #39 was only 59 total points ahead of LoCash as well.
"I Love This Life" got another 5 adds this week and increased over 1.0 million in audience on both MB and Billboard and is already at #34 on Billboard Airplay (should be #33 with Canaan staying on). If it is bumped up to #33, then that would surpass their previous high "Keep In Mind" from 2011 (peaked at #33 on MB).
I definitely think this song will end up reaching the top 30 and perhaps go further, but we'll see how things shake out. The fact the chart is loosening up has certainly benefited LoCash too.

I like this song quite a bit. I hope it can find success because I've always thought they were underrated but I have a feeling it will peace inside the top 39 which isn't bad for them but if it were sang by another artist it would be a hit.

Don't love this, but it is catchy. For some reason I think this has a lot more life in it. I'm thinking Top 10

Well I'm glad everyone can make fun of me. But seriously I was just saying I wanted it higher than top 30 because they deserve that but thanks for the banter directed at me instead of talking about the song.
