My ultimate point is that more often than not that co-hosting schedule tends to be indicative of when songs will peak more or less. Right, I agree with you on that. But my ultimate point is that the CC-USA co-hosting schedule is only indicative of when labels plan to push their songs for #1...it doesn't necessarily line up with when a song would naturally peak. It is entirely possible for songs to keep climbing after an artist has co-hosted CC-USA. If a song still has obvious life in it, a label isn't just going to say "oh, our artist already co-hosted CC-USA the other day so that means we can't keep promoting the song".

I just noticed that this song went 6-1-6, meaning that its only week in the Top 5 was at #1. I think the last song that achieved that feat was "My Second Home" by Tracy Lawrence in 1993.

After it entered the top ten at #9 (from #13), it vaulted to #1 for two weeks and then it held the #4 position for two weeks. Fell out of the top ten at #12.

Didn't "Girls Lie Too" and "My Give a Damn's Busted" go 5-1-5, come to think of it? I know the former was the victim of the same chart manipulation that got Reba's "Somebody" to #1 (i.e., stations were spamming the song at night to boost its airplay), which caused BB to change its methodology a little later on. But I think with MGaDB, it was just a really soft chart that week; that song always felt like a very "low impact" #1 to me, since it never seemed to get that much airplay when it was climbing and it had an atrociously low Hot 100 peak in an era when #1s still hit the Hot 100 Top 40 about 90% of the time.

Late post here with apologies, but I wanted to make an accounting of myself. I was wrong about Keith's Idol performance date (he is performing this Thursday rather than two weeks ago as I had predicted), so that wasn't the reason for the early push for a manufactured #1. Looking at both its Billboard and Mediabase trajectories, "Break on Me" spent only one week in the top-three, and so I think this was just a case of country radio telling Capitol Nashville that "Break on Me" was simply not a song that it was interested in sustaining in top rotation for more than a single week, which meant picking one week for a huge, unnatural push. Stoney Creek had "reserved" the week prior to Randy Houser's album release for his push, and apparently Arista Nashville was willing to wait out the other songs because "Heartbeat" was relatively young on the charts and country radio was content to keep it in top rotation for multiple weeks, so that meant the early push for "Break on Me."
"Break on Me"'s post-peak airplay losses have been pretty steep, comparable to those experienced similarly manufactured #1 that was "We Went," not quite as steep as that experienced by "Dibs," but considerably higher than what "Heartbeat," which was the natural #1 during "Break on Me"'s peak week, saw. Here's how that shook out from the Billboard audience numbers:
"Dibs" Week 1 post-peak: -13.577 million AIs (-29.9%) Week 2 post-peak: -12.687 million AIs (-39.8%)
"Break on Me" Week 1 post-peak: -10.792 million AIs (-24.5%) Week 2 post-peak: -9.142 million AIs (-27.1%)
"We Went" Week 1 post-peak: -11.465 million AIs (-25.1%) Week 2 post-peak: -9.578 million AIs (-28.2%)
"Heartbeat" Week 1 post-peak: -8.534 million AIs (-19.0%) Week 2 post-peak: -7.493 million AIs (-20.4%)
