I like this one. Good groove and voice. I hear a little bit of what Eli Young Band would sound like if Mike Eli's voice weren't so vanilla and their production not so muddy. Rascal Flatts in the Mark Bright era is also a good parallel.

Aw! This is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I'd be ecstatic if jhomes87 's prediction comes true. His EP is also pretty solid; does anyone know if there are any more details about his upcoming album?

His EP is also pretty solid; does anyone know if there are any more details about his upcoming album? This song is nearly 30 weeks old, so it's still up in the air just how high this one can get. No word on any details about a full-length album yet (this one being higher on the airplay charts would help that) but I do know that "Change Your Name" is scheduled to be the next single.

It took 35 weeks but "Little Bit Of You" finally broke the MB top 20 this week.
Red Bow Records might be willing to fight a little longer with "Little Bit Of You" as it gained 200 spins and 2.0 million in audience this week. Anything past 40 weeks and radio gets pretty cranky with wanting to let go of it but perhaps this label thinks they can get another top 10 single out of this, or at least a top 15. The sales have been not very good, so I really think this one should be gone by now.

I'm wondering of they plan to release the album yet? He's got two top 20's and no announcement yet. I don't want another Greg Bates, RaeLynn, or The Henningsens happening here.

The song is still selling pretty poorly, although it's definitely gotten better the past couple months. Red Bow is going to try and get this as high as possible and perhaps we'll hear of an album announcement shortly after Christmas. "Change Your Name" was scheduled to be the next single back in the summer but perhaps they've changed their minds since then.

Change Your Name is a stellar song, but it is definitely a ballad, so I am not sure they will go with that risk. But I would be for them releasing it.

I'm baffled that this song didn't become huge and didn't sell well. It's literal ear candy and so fun to sing along to. I'm hoping this can manage a Top 10 peak if they push it, but realistically I see this falling once it reaches Top 15. *sad face* It seems songs released in the spring always get the most infuriating chart runs.

This song needs to give up already. It's selling horrendously, and I'd have to imagine it's losing Red Bow money. I just don't see the point of continuing to push this one up the chart against radio's resistance. They need to let it go, wait a few months, then come back with something brand new.

Or Change Your Name, which would be the wedding song of the year.

I just don't see the point of continuing to push this one up the chart against radio's resistance. They need to let it go, wait a few months, then come back with something brand new. My only guess is that they're trying to get Chase's full album out there but I agree that this song should be recurrent already. Or Change Your Name, which would be the wedding song of the year. That's the song that was scheduled to be the next single but who knows, things may have changed since then. I think Chase is a really talented artist but I don't think he's quite connecting with listeners. It's not as if radio or his label haven't given him a chance, because they have, but so far his music is just kinda "there" for many folks, compared to other newer artists. I don't think he'll ever be a big seller, too. That being said, he's extremely early into his career and things can certainly get better from here.

They had better be announcing an album release soon. I'm going to honestly be pretty livid if they don't drop it after two Top 20 hits strung out over a year and a half. I did see on FB btw that they did the music video for this a few weeks ago or so, so there's still that to look forward to soon I imagine. It's a shame that this one is selling so poorly and I guess I should be wanting this one to go away like I was with songs like Parmalee and Big & Rich's latest tunes, but... this song is just really freakin' good, and I want it to get high enough that they'll feel confident putting the album. Obviously it isn't going to sell much of anything, but it's overdue for a release. That said, I am kind of ready for a new single, so I wouldn't mind if this one goes away fairly soon.

This song is starting to finally teeter as it's updates this last week. I really hope Red Bow recognizes that this is a lost cause at promoting this song. Also I know he has two Top 20s but Chase Bryant is still not selling well at all really. This is selling second worst out of the Top 20 songs only ahead of Country Nation or their at least dead even with each other.
Like I said I get why releasing the album since he has a couple Top 20s but Chase isn't selling well at all and I can see releasing the album just being more hurtful than helpful. I think Red Bow should stop now and wait a couple months to release a song not off the EP and maybe that'll work.

I think Red Bow should stop now and wait a couple months to release a song not off the EP and maybe that'll work. Whether it sells all that well or not, continuing to release singles for years and not putting out an album, especially when those singles reach the Top 20, is incredibly stupid. How many Top 20 hits and years need to go by before an album comes out? Even if it sells poorly, it makes sense to have something out there for the people who are interested. I don't see how it would hurt him at all, especially if the next single fails and then they don't even have a hit to get it out. The Curb Records playbook isn't a good one to follow, imo. Also, the music video hasn't even been put out yet, so I don't think they're done with this one yet.

I don't think the Curb record is a good one to follow either but how much more investment does Red Bow have to put in to make a profit I feel like they keep on losing money with this guy and if he doesn't sell all that well I don't see investing in an album will help at all also I don't think many fans are interested judging by the poor sales by this and Little Bit Of You (before people get offended I mean the general country music audience probably isn't intrested) I don't think there done with it yet but it's not gonna last much longer it's burned through many weeks. Even if a music video is coming out this freaking late into chart run. I just think Chase will be better off with something that sells and I have a feeling once this song is done it'll fall about as hard as Take It On Back. Also Little Bit Of You isn't really a hit it's just lasted this long cause Chase is on a label that is known for rather long chart runs regardless of how big of a hit it is *cough* Already Calling You Mine *cough*.

That's dumb though to have two singles that they rack up a long time on the charts to get to the Top 20 only to never release an album. Like even if the album doesn't sell much, that's still a poor business model to follow. If they're "losing money" on Chase by pushing his singles the way they have been, they'd at least get some of that back with putting an album out there. But they're doing this all for nothing if they push his singles up the chart just to have no body of material to show for it. It'd be one thing if his singles were peaking in the 30s or something, but two Top 20 hits is plenty good enough for an album release.

Broken Bow Music Group is still pushing this "to get Chase's album out". The weeks it's racked up is absurd, no doubt, but they don't care and they'll ride this out for 50 weeks if they have to. Country radio will have a breaking point but this week isn't it.
I agree that the lackluster single sales will spell lackluster album sales but when you have spent this much money, time and effort to push one song to the top 10 and another to the top 20, it's a better option to release the album instead of letting this go with no album.

If they're "losing money" on Chase by pushing his singles the way they have been, they'd at least get some of that back with putting an album out there. I don't think we can know this for certain. I mean, sure, selling a few thousand albums will make some money...but what about the money it costs for a label to manufacture those thousands of copies of the album? I think the Pulse community at large (including myself) is often guilty of forgetting about the manufacturing cost of an album. I have no doubt that Chase's album has been done for months, or that, at the very least, he has recorded enough songs by now that they could release a 10-12 track album. But it's duplicating that album -- manufacturing it into thousands of copies for retail -- that can be a tough pill for a label to swallow, especially when they're not getting any return from the singles. So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not convinced that releasing an album (that's likely to sell very poorly) will help the label earn back some of the money they've lost on pushing singles to radio...because if the cost of manufacturing the album + the potential revenue that album might make = a negative number, then that's still a net loss, and it's probably why labels "hang on" to albums in the first place. I'm sure Red Bow has already seen a net loss with Chase, but if they have reason to believe that the net loss will be even bigger if they do release the album...then that album won't see the light of day until they believe there's a chance that they'll at least be able to break even (via releasing it).

They could just release it digitally which doesn't cost much I believe....

Chase Bryant spoke with Macon Daily about his upcoming full-length album: ...and if the current single is high enough on the charts for the label's liking.

So confused with all this. I saw Chase for the first time live last night and was actually really, really impressed. He had a ton of material that were pretty stellar so I would imagine he would put out a very solid album.

Can they announce the album already or release the music video or just something, Country Radio needs to let this go. At 42 weeks I just can't anymore, like if Red Bow won't start getting the album or music video than they should drop the f*cking song. "Little Bit Of You" has spent more than enough time on the chart and unless Red Bow starts announcing an album or the music video they should just stop promoting it.
The sooner the better is what I'm thinking as really this song doesn't deserve a Top 15 peak, and when this inevitably hits the Top 10 I'm gonna be even more mad. I just hope the end is near for this end.
Rant Over.

Well it looks like my ranting did something for once. The music video is finally out for this. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YeLqgmVJk0YNothing special but I'm glad it's finally out.

Great video! I think that they did a wonderful job with it. He's such a cutie pie, too. I want his full-length album to come out so I can buy the sh*t out of it tbh.

Part of me is believing that this week could've been a last week push from Red Bow to get Little Bit Of You a Top 10 Peak at least on MB (P.S they failed).
Want further proof this song has the third highest bullet out of all the songs in the top 30 and it just passed "You Should Be Here" easily on MB. I'm sorry that is not natural at all. Also Chase Bryant has gained about 3.1 million in audience this week and for a song that old (44 weeks I think it is?) to be gaining that much. That just doesn't seem natural so I won't be surprised if this starts falling next week.

As long as Red Bow can stay ahead of Warner Music Nashville/Cole Swindell (Chase had just a 36 Mediabase point lead this week), they'll get to the Mediabase top 10 this week. "Little Bit Of You" has gained 90 spins and nearly 800k in audience over the past two days and the song is 45 weeks old, so I'm assuming the peak week is nearing. Perhaps they will keep this one alive at 50 weeks but the sales have been pretty brutal and I'm just amazed at how well this one has done.
Chase still has no album release date yet, so I'm starting to wonder if they'll even announce it while "Little Bit Of You" is charting.
