Yeah, I'm expecting this one to keep up the trend of getting him at least one #1 hit per era. I just really hope he can follow-up it up with another hit. I don't know if he'll ever make it to the next level, but I'd love to see it happen and for him to score more consistent hits that don't take a year to climb the charts. Beyond all that though, I just really can't wait until Fighter drops... hopefully this coming spring!

I'm starting to get a good feeling about how "Nights On Fire" will perform it's starting to knock on the Top 30 on BB and once the MB freeze is over we should see 7 songs above David leave soon after the freeze (Tim McGraw, Cam, Dan + Shay, Chris Young, Parmalee, A Thousand Horses, Blake Shelton) along with a bunch of other songs that shouldn't last long into the new year (Jana Kramer, Lee Brice, Chase Bryant). But that's not what makes me think David Nail might start to take off is that his Christmas losses aren't that bad for his part of his chart and the sales have really started to take off. My gut feeling right now likes your thoughts. I'm finally hearing it on the radio during the day, as opposed to before was hearing it only in the early morning hours.

Wow Nights On Fire went recurrent on BB. It looks like it didn't get much Christmas audience back. I'm sorry that I thought this one was doing well only for it to leave soon after. I also think RCA (that's the label I think) is getting ready to launch Clare Dunn's sophomore single and I imagine they saw this song as the easiest to cut loose. Just a theory I expect to see this falling rather fast on MB.
BB Peak #31 MB Peak #35

This one was shockingly sent recurrent on Billboard tonight. It lost about 550k on Mediabase over the last 7 days (which is shocking given that almost every song is able to bullet automatically during New Year's week) and since it was 22 weeks old it was eligible to go recurrent...but it was also eligible for a grace week and I'm absolutely stunned that Billboard didn't give it one. I think this is yet another example of an intern publishing Billboard's chart Billboard making a very premature decision. Even though every other song (besides David's) gained audience this week, I think it was the wrong call to not give this a grace week. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps MCA informed Billboard that they were done with the song, in which case BB decided to remove it. But I'd be pretty surprised if MCA just let this go. It'll be interesting to see how NOF does on Mediabase this week...if it starts gaining again then I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it re-enter on Billboard in a week or two. Anyway, with all that said, I was surprised at the above few posts showing such optimism. I realize that David had one or two good weeks right before Christmas, but the fact is that this was only able to climb to #31 after 22 weeks on the chart. Again, I don't think it should have gone recurrent yet (I think it should have been given a grace week), but it definitely wasn't looking like it was about to take off. Aside from 1-2 decent weeks, this one has had a painstakingly slow chart run (even by David's standards) and its sales aren't anything to write home about either. Edit: Whoops! raylatch98 was posting at the same time I was.

MCA is still actively promoting this as evidence by the ad in Country Aircheck this evening. They're not through with "Night's On Fire."

They're not done with "Cold Beer Conversation", either. I'm not surprised that MCA is still working both songs and I think there's a good chance that both of them will re-enter on Billboard next week or maybe the week after.

And according to Country Aircheck there still promoting it. But "Nights On Fire" I think will be gone soon as at 22 weeks and not yet in the Top 30 I think this song will be ending soon enough.

MCA was most likely encouraged by those adds George got before Christmas and since his song is still getting support, they might as well stick it out for a few more weeks and see where they end up. And according to Country Aircheck there still promoting it. But "Nights On Fire" I think will be gone soon as at 22 weeks and not yet in the Top 30 I think this song will be ending soon enough. This is David Nail. I'm certainly not saying "Night's On Fire" will be guaranteed to do much more than it already has (it's chart climb has been pretty painful to watch) but a top 20 peak after re-entering next week is definitely possible.

For clarification purposes, I don't mind Billboard's grace week rule. They usually give older songs a grace week if the loss wasn't that big, but they don't have to. That's always been fine by me. What I dislike is that Billboard's editors don't seem to be doing their homework very well. David picked up a handful of new adds this week (which MCA clearly pointed out in their Aircheck ad) including Westwood One's Hot Country station (which is Mediabase-only, but still), so it's reasonable to assume that NOF will see some audience gains this coming week.
Hint to Billboard: if a song is likely to keep gaining or start gaining again, it's probably wise to leave it on the chart.

^ I don't see it I think this going recurrent was a sign that radio might be just about done with "Nights On Fire" also if David would have stayed on BB it would have landed right below Frankie Ballard and Jon Pardi. So I do think radio though might me done with this.

For David's sake I hope they can get the most they can out of this song. It's probably my least favorite release of thus far but David is not someone I want to see drifting away from the music scene anytime soon.

David Nail takes long, slow climbs up the chart. I'm not sure you understood what zack97 and others were saying. The longer an artist goes without scoring a bigger hit, the more likely it is that they'll fade away altogether (at least from radio, anyway). And so for David to have a song go recurrent without cracking the top 30 is a reason for some concern. It's well-known that David's singles take a long time to climb the charts...but it's pretty hard to climb the Billboard chart when you're not even on it. As I said before, I think there's a pretty good chance that this will re-enter and at least climb into the 20's, but the fact that it isn't currently on the chart is definitely a reason for worry/concern.

Perhaps Billboard was influenced by the large number of Nail's unbulleted weeks in, say, the last 8 or 10 weeks of the BB chart. It seems that might have influenced their decision about 1000 Horses as well. But I have to admit, it's strange for the same people who quickly moved Horses to a re-entry to then pull Nail. One hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing?
I'd be happy if they re-entered the Strait song for reasons based entirely on my high regard for Strait, but, on a more professional level (and ignoring which songs I personally do or don't root for) BB should be making their recurrent vs. grace week decisions with more consistency. Maybe it's me and I'm just unable see it, but I don't have any problem with the rule itself -- I just have a problem with the way they use their grace week option.

To nobody's surprise, "Night's On Fire" re-enters on Billboard Airplay at #34.

"Night's On Fire" got 19 reporting adds on Billboard but their add system is a automatic-add system, which a station reaching seven spins for the first time in a chart tracking week. David only got 5 new adds on Mediabase this week.

I just realize now that Billboard re-run the Indicator chart last week and included "Night's On Fire" at #34 which was sent recurrent on the first print issue. This corroborates jhomes87 earlier thought of train that sending it recurrent on the Country National Airplay Chart was a hasty misjudgement and a grace week was indeed to be granted. #BillboardMess

I hope this doesn't follow the tracks of "(This Ain't No) Drunk Dial," where it re-enters the Billboard chart only to be thrown back into the recurrent bin a few weeks later.

I think this one should be fine and keep rising because David Nail songs take forever to peak... It's at #34 in its 23rd week which kind of worries me but I think a top 10 finish is possible for this one. I don't think I would even rule out the possibility of it hitting #1 just yet. Just for reference: "Red Light" was at #27 "Let It Rain" was at #30 "Whatever She's Got" was at #20 on its 23rd week on Billboard. It gained spins nicely this past week, and I hope that continues. Now if only it could take off like "Whatever She's Got" did...

The Mediabase add board is already showing at least 15 adds for "Night's On Fire" this week, so that likely means Cumulus is finally on board.

Anybody know what caused the big surge on iTunes lately? This song hadn't been selling all that well; according to Kworb, it was #321 all-genre back on February 25. On the 26th it was at #264, on the 27th it jumped to #159, on the 28th it was at #131, on the 29th it was #113, on March 1st it was up to #110, on the 2nd it moved up to #98, yesterday it was at #96, and as of this morning's update it's up to #93. Songs don't climb iTunes that quickly unless they are brand new or received some sort of major exposure. I don't think there's an official video yet (just the "performance" video on YouTube) and I can't find any info about the song being performed somewhere, so my guess is Bobby Bones or SiriusXM. Anyway, despite the sales surge, this song has needed 30 weeks just to reach #28, so I think a top 20 peak is the best that they can hope for. This is moving slowly even by David's standards.

It's discounted to $0.69 right now, but I haven't heard anything else, so I'm assuming that's what did it.

I juat got back from seeing David in San Antonio and have to say this song sounds so much better live. I know he has been back out on the road touring so I'd like to say that's adding to the sales increase, but it could be multiple variables. Again, this song has a lot of energy live and it shows in his performance.

After 251 days in the MB Top 50 it looks like "Nights On Fire" will finally crack the Top 20. I don't think this song can last a whole lot longer since this week will mark week 40 for BB and it's just now in the Top 20. With a lot of songs below David Nail that are probably going to start gaining on him and pass him (FGL, Sam Hunt, Zac Brown Band) then you have songs that are a lot younger that can also catch "Night's On Fire" (possibly Justin Moore, Dan + Shay probably will soon, and even Kip Moore could get ahead of David Nail). With how long it took to hit the Top 20 I doubt "Nights On Fire" will last much longer.
