Highly disappointed that this isn't doing better. I really enjoy it.

Pull the plug on this song (I actually went from being indifferent to it, to really disliking it) and give us something new. Joe has been so steady over his career, I can't imagine him releasing a song back to back that I don't enjoy.

I'm confused Matty why do you hate "Freaks Like Me" ? I think it's a very good song.

I think Red Bow productions gave up on "Freaks Like Me". A lot of the spin leaders on AllAccess have the spins down. So it looks like Joe Nichols has lost almost all of his momentum. I wonder how soon they'll soon send a new song.

Red Bow put up an ad in the non-chart issue of Airhceck this week for this song, so they're still promoting it. What they'll most likely do is see if they can hold with this one through January (especially since KKBQ in Houston recently added it) but if this one still isn't doing anything, they'll officially pull the plug. "Freaks Like Me" went for adds 15 weeks ago and is having a whale of a time just cracking the Mediabase top 50 and staying there. This is unfortunately what happened. Red Bow stuck with this one through the New Year but things never improved, so they let go of it this week. "Freaks Like Me" lost 1.0 million in total Billboard audience.

What a shame. I love Joe and absolutely loved this song so I was hoping it'd find a way to take off. "Freaks Like Me" becomes his lowest-charting effort and first single to miss Top 40 since the 1990s before he had his mainstream break through. Oh well... better luck to whatever comes next, because I'd like to see his next album get out there sometime this year, and it'll be nice if he can have another hit to help it out. His voice and music are wonderful, so I'm looking forward to whatever's next.

This song is good, but didn't hit me as a surefire smash like "Sunny and 75"/"Yeah" did. But yeah, I need a new Joe Nichols album asap. Such a great voice.

I'm wondering if the title is what scared people away from this song. It's one of those songs where the title doesn't tell the story and you have to listen to the lyrics. The lyrics have a great message and the melody is very catchy. The production is overall contemporary but you can hear some traditional elements in there with the steel guitar. I'm not sure why this wasn't a hit I'm pretty baffled. When I first heard it in September I thought it was a sure fire hit. What a shame. Hoping he can rebound from this. I hope the album still comes out.
