Just like I said it would be this one is off to a slow start and just like I said it looks like billy currington has already passed him by :) and jake Owens is already passed him on billboard granted he did take a big drop but that only hurt young in the long run in my opinion as the songs will be closer in competition and while Owens isn't selling as well it's more radio friendly of the two especially for the summer.and Hunter Hayes is not far behind at this rate Rucker could still catch him. everything I have said would happen seems to be happening to cause struggle for this song. it remains to be seen if that will continue but for right now if young wants success with this I see a rather long chart run in his future. You haven't been proven right at all, though, at least not yet. It's only Chris' second week in chart and this one is not "off to a slow start" imho. As for the competition you are alluding to that will sink I'm Comin' Over: - Jake Owen is ahead as of now but I think he'll hit a brick wall and end up peaking lower than Chris. - Billy Currington is only 600k ahead and he'll be hangover this week, so Chris will easily pass him. - Hunter Hayes is close and they'll probably remain neck-to-neck for the next couple of weeks, but in the end Hunter will probably face some resistance. - Darius Rucker is not even a threat.

Wow, where do I begin? Chris did not get an hourly iHeartMedia premiere like Jake and Billy did, and that's why they started out ahead of them on Billboard. I know you know this but it appears you didn't bring that up to help construct your point. "I'm Comin' Over" increased over 1.0 million on Billboard and MB this past week and its up nearly 500k in audience on MB over the past two days. Chris' song is also outselling Jake by 61 spots on the all-genre chart and that's with "Real Life" getting an hourly debut. "I'm Comin' Over" is only three weeks old and is at #44 on Billboard (3.6 million in audience) on #44 on the MB rolling chart (4.0 million in audience) and is #16 on the country iTunes chart. This is country radio 2015; there's heavy competition everywhere. Chris' "Tomorrow" had a very steady climb to #1 in 2011, and guess what, there was tons of competition then too. As for Hunter and Darius, "21" actually lost 66k in audience in today's MB update and "Southern Style" was 1.5 million behind "I'm Comin' Over" in audience on Billboard Airplay, so I don't see why you felt the need to bring him up. I also have no idea how you see "Real Life" as more "radio-friendly" than "I'm Comin' Over." Jake's song is right for summertime but summertime doesn't last forever and his song is a risk since the production and vocal arrangement is unlike anything else on country radio at the moment, while Chris' is a very safe contemporary country radio single by today's standards. I don't know exactly why you feel the need to see "I'm Comin' Over" fail (and for the record, I'm not even a huge fan of this song myself), but this song is doing very well thus far and while a quick climb is not to be expected (and no one said differently), Chris' song can not be doing much better right now.

This record isn't struggling at all and has all the signs of impacting Young's career as much as any previous single he's ever had including "Tomorrow." This will make a steady rise to the top of the radio charts and give him a great shot at a return to number 1, of course that depends what's around it at the time it goes for number 1, but it's top three radio single for certain. Sales-wise, this new project potentially is the best we've seen from him, and that is big for as long as he's been putting out music for RCA and the number of singles he's delivered to radio (13, one of those twice) over nine years. We shall see who's right here, but my mind hasn't changed at all since this was released.

Are you looking at the same chart as I am? Because I see that Chris has passed Hunter on both Mediabase and Billboard. And Chris has had bigger audience gains than Hunter has had this week as well, which means that he's only pulling farther away. Billy Currington has also dropped below Chris as well, and the only reason he debuted higher (on Billboard) was because some iHeartMedia stations were playing "Drinkin' Town With A Football Problem" once an hour last week Monday. In your original post in this debate, you primarily talked about how Tyler Farr and Billy Currington could go up ahead of Chris because you felt they had more momentum than Chris. So far, that isn't happening. Billy has fallen below, and Tyler isn't even on the chart yet. Then, in this post, you said you thought Lee Brice might also be a threat to Chris. Well, Lee went for adds a full month ago and he still hasn't charted in the top 60 on Billboard. It's true that Jake Owen is going up faster (at least right now), but I never said that I expected Chris to go up ahead of Jake. I merely said that Jake wouldn't be a threat to Chris because they are label-mates. The artists we were primarily talking about on the previous page of this thread were Billy, Hunter, Lee, Tyler, and Darius, and right now Chris is ahead of all of them -- and he's pulling away, too. I read back through the thread and nowhere did I see a post that said Chris would fly up the chart to #1. Most said they expected "I'm Comin' Over" to be a big hit, and take a slower/steady route to the top--not slow, but more moderately-paced (as compared to, say, Luke Bryan, Zac Brown, or Keith Urban). I don't think anybody here was expecting Chris to go up that fast. In my post here, I merely stated that I expected Chris to go up ahead of Hunter, Tyler, Billy, Darius, and Lee -- and so far that's the case. Chris is ahead of all of them on Mediabase right now, and he'll be ahead of all of them on next Monday's Billboard chart as well. This song isn't blazing up the chart (but again, I don't think anybody expected it to), but it's definitely not struggling.

Debuts at #25 on the Country Streaming Chart! :) Pretty good achievement for a new(er) record that is just #37 in airplay and #21 in sales.

Has there ever been a bigger logjam than we're seeing right now on the country radio charts? Unless you're a well-established superstar, it's hard for anyone to get early traction. Obviously a bigger push by RCA for Jake Owen's "Real Life," notwithstanding.
The Good News is this one will eventually fight through the crowd. Early sales are better and the trends higher than any single he's had to date which should bode well for the upcoming Album as well.
Digital numbers holding steady more than a month in with so little airplay is a very good sign.

Check out the size of the crowd that showed up to watch him in Chicago over the weekend. I'm not sure exactly what is happening right now but all the signs are pointing toward a career headed to the upper tier of country music. www.chrisyoungcountry.com/

Look for Chris Young to easily land in the Top 30 this Monday. He could land anywhere from 28-30 depending if he passes Parmalee and/or LBT go recurrent. This song is shaping up to be a real sleeper hit

^Awesome...about time! I'm looking for the next crop of songs to get bumped into higher rotation soon such as this one, We Went, Southern Style, Drinkin Town With a Football Problem, and fingers crossed Tomorrow Tonight! All of these songs deserve to be top 10 hits! C'mon country radio, I have faith in you.

Chris is now #30 on Billboard with more than 9.5 million. Darius Rucker has less than half that total, and he's only just cracked the top 40. Hunter Hayes is sitting just outside the top 30 with just under 5.8 million. Billy Currington's latest has struggled to keep its bullet; it's at #45 with only 2.25 million in audience. And Tyler Farr's "Withdrawals" got pulled by Sony (which is also Chris' label) because it never took off. I always expected Jake Owen to go up first, and then Chris Young, and that's exactly what's happening. There was no way that Hunter Hayes, Darius Rucker, Billy Currington, or Tyler Farr were going to able to keep up with Chris here. The signs have been there from the start..."I'm Comin' Over" is a fast-seller, and most of those other songs (aside from Jake's) are barely making a dent on the sales charts when compared to "I'm Comin' Over". I think this could end up being Chris' biggest hit since "Tomorrow". And really, "Tomorrow" was at the tail end of a 1-2-3-4 punch of what I consider to be Chris' biggest hits: "Gettin' You Home", "The Man I Want To Be", "Voices", and "Tomorrow".

As this moves into heavier rotation, look for digital sales to pick up and settle into top-10 on the itunes country chart. It's already on pace to surpass "Tommorrow" which has long been his biggest seller. All the signs are pointing toward his career elevating to a new level. Increased crowds for his live shows over the past several months are great indicators he's headed into new territory. He's really done an excellent job over the last couple years building his fan base and developing into as seasoned an on-stage performer as there is in country music.

Tomorrow 2.0. But Tomorrow was a great song, so rehashing it still results in a good song.
Also, my local stations NEVER play Chris Young recurrents. NEVER. I can't remember the last time I heard "The Man I Want to Be" or "You", or "Tomorrow".

I hear "The Man I Want To Be" on Y2Kountry all the time. "You" is a song that I liked at first but it just didn't hold up well at all to being overplayed and I still can't tolerate it to this day. This song really is the part II to "Tomorrow" and I do enjoy it; even though I find it to be as safe a lead single as they could have released. Chris sings these songs extremely well though so if it's not broken don't fix it I guess.

This song is climbing even faster than Tomorrow. Best digital performance yet with currently 271,000 sold. The video has over 4 Million views and it looks like it is starting to make some moves up the charts. In addition, the label has been behind this song right from the get go thankfully, unlike with some of his most recent singles. Would love to see a natural progression all the way to #1. The talent is there. The work ethic is there. And the song is there.

I think Chris has done a very good job keeping his head in the game and doing all the work that builds you a sustainable and loyal fan base. It's going to pay off big if he continues to grind like he has. This single, although not ground-breaking will lift him to a level he's not been which is the most important in light of the lost momentum he sustained when "Neon" didn't perform at radio as well as his earlier singles. He needed to build that back to where he was after "Tomorrow" and "You" which he has.

I really think "I'm Comin' Over" will end up being Chris' biggest single in a few years. It's interesting that on the RTM call-out scores, "I'm Comin' Over' has the most popularity of any top 30 song, with a high familiarity and an extremely low burn rate (7%). I haven't looked at the others, which might show up different results but this song has been going over very well with listeners as Chris' song is #13 on the Country iTunes chart and #63 on the all-genre chart. Factor in that this song is extremely safe and radio-friendly and you got a big hit.
This song's climb has been slow and steady (which I fully expected), but I wouldn't be surprised if this end's up becoming one of Chris' signature singles.

What I like about Chris Young is how he's been a grinder over the last 9 years. He's done a great job building a solid and loyal fan base that's seen a steady growth over time. He's worked hard for every fan he's earned and kept his nose clean along the way. I think he's on the verge of the big payoff.

Just got an email today saying the new album will be out November 13th from Chris's email listing...not sure if this information is known to Pulse or not, either way, figured I'd drop it on y'all.

In five years from now, when people think of Chris Young's music, "Tomorrow" and "I'm Comin' Over" will definitely be what comes to mind first. I'm surprised this isn't climbing the charts faster though, due to the stellar sales and impressions.

A song doesn't have to be memorable to you or me to be memorable in the eyes of country radio five years down the road. Some of the most unmemorable songs to me have gone on to become heavy recurrents and even gold titles years after they peak. I personally agree that "I'm Comin' Over" will end up becoming one of Chris' biggest hits when all is said and done.

Whether the song is memorable in it own right or not (I believe it is), I think it will be know as the song that was the first single if Young's run as one of the top male country artists of this time. If the album era is handled correctly, I believe he'll be right up there with the A-listers.

My feeling early was "I'm Comin' Over" didn't break new ground but was a smart and safe choice with the goal of advancing his status to a level he's yet to enjoy. All going according to plan for this A-list quality talent. It's really only a matter of time the way he's going about his business. Grounded hard working guy who doesn't let small things that don't matter in the grand scheme get in the way of what's important.

Chris is killin it in Europe this week with SOLD OUT shows and the single is finally starting to edge closer to the inside of the Top 20 on both Billboard and Mediabase. The single is also selling steadily by the week thus far with 357,000 downloads.

I expected more, but still a solid song. After two more listens, I really like this now. Young's voice is impressive as always.

Top 10 and climbing. Pre- order of the album is available on iTunes and is currently #2 on the iTunes Country Chart and #7 ALL Genre. Not a bad start and it's just the Pre-order.
