If this indeed did peak at #2, I will be updating that thread for the second consecutive time for a Carrie Underwood single. This is beginning to get frustrating!
Final MediaBase numbers:
3 1 CARRIE UNDERWOOD Smoke Break 8825 8189 636 63.639

I understand that Carrie has had quite a spectacular career thus far, but this is just frustrating. She's proven that her talent stretches far beyond that of a talent show contestant, and has demonstrated unparalleled longevity while maintaining critical and commercial success. To watch her efforts be purposefully undercut by her own label is disheartening and makes me seriously question how committed they are to ensuring another solid era in her career. Between the surprisingly low first-week sale numbers for the album and the #2 peak on BB, I'm worried about how this will affect her in the long-run. Perhaps these sentiments are a bit premature, but--like all of us--I want to see her best material released to better-showcase the record as a whole.

For being in the business 10 years, her first week sales are just fine. For comparison, Kelly Clarkson only sold 97,000 copies her first week of Piece By Piece and that was after 13 years in the business. As far as her peaking at #2, they were stupid to pit her against a teenybopper band, if they would've released it a week earlier it would've hit #1. However, when it comes to getting a billboard #1, she's been 0-5 since Blown Away hit #1 in 2012. Sony needs to start getting behind her, or Carrie needs to find a new label and promotion team, ones that will actually stick up for her.

Overreaction much?

Given the long-running downward trend in CD sales, her opening week sales numbers for this superb CD are fine and very respectable, and since over 92% of those 1st week sales were CDs as opposed to digital sales, any disappointment in that stat are solely those of the person offering that opinion.
Looking forward to hearing 'Heartbeat' well into spring, and I do agree that 'Dirty Laundry' has to be a single somewhere down the line.
