No offense, but I sure hope you're wrong lol.Unfortunately that makes sense for Keith's team. Let's hope Sony doesn't play nice with Carrie if Capitol does indeed go that route. I guess it is always some sort of roadblock for Carrie. Smh.

Yeah here's the thing that you guys are not catching. Carie will also co-host CCUSA probably the week after Keith Urban and he'll lose those extra spins while Carrie Underwood gains them back. Trust me Carrie Underwood "Heartbeat" is in a really good position right now.

I have one question for folks on this thread: have you ever considered the possibility that the reason this song is doing so well is that it is well-written, well-performed, and connecting with listeners? I see a lot of Carrie's near-misses blamed on machinations of record labels, but could it be that maybe some of those songs didn't quite connect?

I see a lot of Carrie's near-misses blamed on machinations of record labels, but could it be that maybe some of those songs didn't quite connect? Somethin' Bad is an example of that: hit the ground running, but when it hit legit popularity (Top 15) it slowed. Most of the near-misses (all still MB/BB #2's (and one BB #3), nothing to ACTUALLY be upset about), from what I've read and observed, were on a normal #1 trajectory, but get slowed at Top 10. Suspiciously, another Sony artist song gains considerably on the exact same day that these near-miss Carrie songs slow badly at Top 10. Then once they're up toward top 3, similar things happen, but with other label's artists. They'll get max spins pushes while a couple spots behind and last-minute leap frog her to hit #1 on Sunday morning for the official chart, then they both drop on Monday. Again, things I've read or noticed myself - not actually accusing anything.

I have one question for folks on this thread: have you ever considered the possibility that the reason this song is doing so well is that it is well-written, well-performed, and connecting with listeners? I see a lot of Carrie's near-misses blamed on machinations of record labels, but could it be that maybe some of those songs didn't quite connect? Well, country radio was certainly catering to very narrow tastes from 2012-14, so the notion that against-the-grain singles like "Two Black Cadillacs," "See You Again," "Something in the Water" and "Little Toy Guns" might not have connected with radio's core listeners at the time is certainly something that most if not all of us considered. However, there are a number of reasons to think that the "didn't quite connect" argument doesn't explain what has happened. The foremost argument against is that at the point where we're talking about a #2 or #3 Billboard peak as opposed to a #1, the "didn't quite connect" argument is pretty much out the window -- if a single were truly that hard a sell to radio listeners, then it wouldn't have sustained (over multiple weeks) the power rotation levels required for a top-three peak. The second argument against is that we've seen plenty of singles with weaker callout and weaker sales than Carrie's singles reach #1 Billboard. For example, Carrie's lowest-peaking solo single at Billboard Country Airplay to date is "Something in the Water" at #3, and that is a song that was not only one of 2014's biggest sales hits, it also drew by far the highest passion rating from radio listeners on Mediabase's callout service for the duration of its run. It was also the current single drawing the highest number of weekly streams for the tail end of its radio run (once Sam Hunt's "Take Your Time" peaked). Moreover, "Something in the Water"'s Billboard audience peak of 46.874 million was higher than the audience peak for Florida-Georgia Line's #1-peaking "Sun Daze" (which peaked at 44.529 million in audience three weeks later on an identical panel of stations). This further refutes the "didn't quite connect" argument while reinforcing the "label machinations messed with timing" argument. The third argument against involves a general point about a clear shift in label promotional schedules since Billboard changed its Hot Country Songs methodology in October 2012 to incorporate multi-format airplay, sales and streams. Before mid-October 2012, push weeks ran Monday through Sunday, in line with the Billboard Hot Country Songs = Billboard Country Airplay chart week, and those pushes would almost always catch the Mediabase chart that closed Saturday of that same week in the process (there are a couple of Brad Paisley singles that wound up Billboard-only #1s, but they were exceptions). How could we tell? We would see large Mediabase updates on Tuesday mornings, reflecting Monday airplay. Since mid-October 2012 (particularly since January 2013), we have seen those big updates move to Monday (reflecting Sunday airplay), with push weeks aligning with the Sunday through Saturday run of the Mediabase chart week. That in and of itself reflects label prioritization of the Mediabase week over the Billboard week. For example, we saw UMG Nashville not bother to go for a Billboard #1 for Little Big Town's "Tornado" in early March 2013 and they wound up missing out by just a few hundred thousand in audience -- a gap that would have been easily scaled with some extra effort. Sony Nashville has become a frequent Mediabase-only #1 generator, and has shown a willingness to sacrifice Billboard #1s in the process. One of the more prominent examples was in the summer of 2014, when Chris Young was headed to Billboard #1 with "Who Am I with You," ahead of Tyler Farr's "Whiskey in My Water" and Joe Nichols' "Yeah." Those following that chart run closely noticed that "Who Am I with You" suddenly hit the brakes before hitting Billboard #1 in what was clearly an intra-Sony effort to get the peaking "Whiskey in My Water" to Mediabase #1. The result? "Whiskey in My Water" did get a Mediabase-only #1, but slowing up "Who Am I with You" allowed "Yeah" (whose airplay peak would come two weeks later) to get ahead on Billboard. "Yeah." not a particularly big hit in its own right, wound up #1 for three weeks at Billboard, blocking "Whiskey in My Water" and "Who Am I with You," and "Who Am I with You" wound up a Mediabase-only #1. Of course, Sony Nashville returned the favor to Chris Young last November, when it pushed "I'm Comin' Over" past "Smoke Break" at Billboard in conjunction with Chris' album release week and chose to go for a multi-week #1 for "I'm Comin' Over" that would relegate "Smoke Break" to a Mediabase-only #1. Now, is "I'm Comin' Over" a bigger hit than "Smoke Break"? Certainly. But when you examine "Smoke Break"'s chart run to that point and its eventual audience peak (50.231 million in audience, higher than the 49.420 million audience peak of Old Dominion's two-week Billboard #1 "Break Up with Him" from an identical panel of stations), it could have easily had a Billboard #1 to match its Mediabase #1 had Sony Nashville played its cards a little differently (specifically, by letting "I'm Comin' Over" follow "Smoke Break" to Billboard #1). Closer looks at chart runs for "Two Black Cadillacs," "Something in the Water" and to a lesser extent, "Little Toy Guns" also reveal instances of chart manipulation slowing up those singles in ways that impacted their eventual Billboard airplay peaks. "Two Black Cadillacs"'s late run was hurt first when a huge Mediabase-only #1 push for labelmate Brad Paisley's "Southern Comfort Zone" had Arista slowing up "Two Black Cadillacs," which then found itself unable to recover when Big Machine hijacked a Mediabase-only #1 for Taylor Swift's "Begin Again." "Something in the Water" was very obviously slowed up to allow lower-impacting singles from labelmates Kenny Chesney ("'Til It's Gone") and Brad Paisley ("Perfect Storm") to enter the top-10 first, which left "Something in the Water" to battle a "Talladega"/"I See You" surge that Sony didn't see coming and couldn't overcome. Sony's #1 push for Kenny's low-impact "Wild Child" (a push that Randy Goodman noted in a Country Aircheck interview soon after he took over as head of Sony Nashville) meant delaying the power rotation push for "Little Toy Guns," which, followed by the "Love Me Like You Mean It" #1 push that had everyone stepping back, meant extending "Little Toy Guns"' run a week or two past its natural peak. Now, perhaps our first sign that Sony Nashville was going to make "Heartbeat" a priority was when they didn't slow up "Heartbeat" in order to try to eke out a top-10 peak for Brad Paisley's "Country Nation" before "Heartbeat" entered top-10 rotation ("Country Nation" would eventually get a Mediabase-only #10 peak last week). We also know from this Tennessean profile that "Heartbeat" is one of Sony Nashville chairman/CEO Randy Goodman's Storyteller favorites. Label execs, like most people, like to be right, or at least have their taste affirmed. So it's possible that "Heartbeat" hasn't been slowed up for labelmates as a number of Carrie's previous singles have simply for that reason. But sure, in addition to connecting well enough in sales and streams, it's probably also an easier sell in the current radio climate because it fits in. Whether that will translate to a Billboard #1 remains to be seen, of course. But if it doesn't, this doesn't look like a case where Sony Nashville interference is something that can be reasonably faulted.

Just wondering, do Granger and/or Luke/Karen begin to fall this week? There's a pretty big gap between those 2 songs and KB.

They couldn't keep the top spot so they are for sure leaving. Granger Smith on the other hand I don't know I could see him going for a second week, he has a large gap from Kelsea Ballerini his album won't be out for another few weeks and the research is fine enough for this song to go another week. So I could see Granger spending a second week at the top.

What order do u think they go up after Granger? Kelsea obviously is next. Could it be 2 ladies in a row with Carrie then or does Keith throw a wrench in it all?

What order do u think they go up after Granger? Kelsea obviously is next. Could it be 2 ladies in a row with Carrie then or does Keith throw a wrench in it all? Ok here's how I see it. This week Granger has the top spot on both. Next week is the deciding week either two scenarios look to happen. A.) Granger goes for a second week and keeps the top spot away from Kelsea Ballerini Til possibly the next week. B.) Granger secede and Kelsea naturally gets the top spot for a week (it'll only be for a week). If Granger goes for a second week he'll for sure be falling the following week. Now Kelsea Ballerini could spend another week and then get the top spot. Or Kelsea Ballerini falls along with Granger Smith. If both start falling Keith Urban might make the move to the top since he co-hosts CCUSA after Kelsea Ballerini but before Carrie Underwood. Carrie is now comfortably ahead of both Keith Urban and Randy Houser on both MB and BB and I wouldn't be surprised if "Break On Me" and "We Went" were MB only #1s while Carrie Underwood takes a few weeks on the top. The most likely scenario is for Granger to go for a second week (I think he will) Kelsea Ballerini to spend a week at the top then the combination of Keith, Carrie, and Randy Houser. If I had to say Carrie Underwood peak week will be I think Sony might aim for a two week BB #1 and MB #1 with Keith Urban getting blocked out and then Randy Houser following after Carrie and Keith clear out.

She looks great at the Grammys. I am hoping "Dirty Laundry" is next when this one peaks.

Really nice performance of this at the Grammys. I think I prefer the song as a full-fledged duet.

I honestly didn't like it. Sam Hunt just has like a very flat voice with me, and Carrie Underwood can only carry the song so much. Also felt like they didn't have much chemistry.
I'm obviously expecting a sales spike which I hope gives radio the incentive to make this a multi week #1.

"Heartbeat" has jumped from #45 to #18 on the all-genre iTunes chart, now it's only one spot behind "Die a Happy Man".

If Sam wasn't part of the performance, it would have been perfect. I know, I know it's the Grammy's...and they've got to make it stand out. But, he just ruined it, IMO. LBT completely changed the arrangement of "Girl Crush" and it was amazing! If Carrie would've performed the acoustic version of "Heartbeat," much like the one on the Storyteller Deluxe - I would've enjoyed the performance much more.

I also did not care for Sam and Carrie together. Carrie did her part well and sounded good, but Sam was so dull and did not sing well. The last time he did a duet...believe it was with Dwight Yoakam.....he sucked then too! He does nothing for me.....singing or looks.
Carrie looked gorgeous!

With the sales spike and the high airplay, it looks likely "Heartbeat" will get to #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart! If it does hit #1, it'll be her first #1 on the chart since "Something in the Water".

Legit this is only the 3rd song she had released since SITW.

With the sales spike and the high airplay, it looks likely "Heartbeat" will get to #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart! Unless you've done some analysis on the topic that you didn't post, I'm not sure how this can be considered "likely" at this point -- seems to me it's way too early to tell. It depends on where "Heartbeat" stabilizes after the Grammy spike wears off -- it was selling an average of around 2,250 copies per day last week (less on Saturday/Sunday, probably) and its post-performance bump was, I would estimate, somewhere around the 5k range for the twenty-four hour period (with total sales in that twenty-four hour period around 7.3K), less than 2K in front of Thomas Rhett's "Die a Happy Man" for the day. The sales week runs Friday through Thursday, and "Die a Happy Man" had probably banked a lead of 9.5-12K in the first three days of the sales week. Now, "Die a Happy Man" will drop further behind "Heartbeat" in airplay, but there's still the streaming gap to make up (and on Spotify alone, "Die a Happy Man" is pulling at least twice as many daily streams as "Heartbeat"). So "Heartbeat" will need a spike in streaming activity, too, to make up the gap -- while its streams are increasing and it is at #10 on the Country Streaming Songs chart, four of the five songs ahead of "Heartbeat" on the HCS chart are also ahead of it on the Country Streaming Songs chart. It's true that "Die a Happy Man" will probably drop at least 5.5 million in airplay audience behind "Heartbeat" this week (with its Adult Top-40 increase making up a bit of the gap), so that will help. But Sam Hunt's "Break Up in a Small Town"'s sales advantage of just under 9K last week and its streaming advantage (which exceeds the streaming gap between "Die a Happy Man" and "Heartbeat") was enough to make up for "Heartbeat"'s 7 million AI advantage at country airplay ("Break Up in a Small Town" was #2 on the HCS chart this week). So those are just two of the songs that "Heartbeat" would need to move ahead of in order to make a #6 to #1 jump. I'm not motivated enough to try to calculate the Hot Country Songs points involved, but "Heartbeat" would also have to jump "Home Alone Tonight" (which started the week over 9.5 million in audience ahead in airplay, a gap that "Heartbeat" is very unlikely to make up this week), which is also ahead in streams (though the gap is probably not very big). There's also Cole Swindell's "You Should Be Here," which is behind in airplay but ahead in weekly streams (though again, probably not by much). I'm guessing that Granger Smith's "Backroad Song" will be an easier passing target with "Heartbeat" ahead in both sales and streams, but "Heartbeat"'s sales and streaming advantage in previous weeks (prior to the current one, when "Backroad Song"'s sales increased thanks to his album pre-order) has not been enough to make up what is now a 10 million plus gap in audience (a gap which will likely decrease this week, but not to the point of "Heartbeat" passing "Backroad Song" in airplay). Basically, even this incomplete analysis suggests to me "Heartbeat" still has an uphill battle if it wants to top the HCS chart. I do tend to think that its peak on that chart may come this week, but on the other hand, it does have plenty of room to grow on the airplay chart.

I apologize, I honestly was under the impression that there wasn't that much to consider because of "Heartbeat"'s sales spike and continued AI gains... Here's the post I'm referring to: I'll remain cautiously optimistic for the possibility.

I apologize, I honestly was under the impression that there wasn't that much to consider because of "Heartbeat"'s sales spike and continued AI gains... Here's the post I'm referring to: I'll remain cautiously optimistic for the possibility. The main problem with the post that you cite is that it doesn't consider that several songs that are declining in airplay, including two that are already behind "Heartbeat" in airplay, remained ahead of "Heartbeat" on the Hot Country Songs chart this week on the strength of higher sales and streaming. In fact, the #1 and #2 on the HCS chart this week were songs already behind "Heartbeat" in airplay. So while "Heartbeat" may make up the sales gap, there's still a sizable streaming gap to consider (the #1 and #2 songs on the HCS chart are #2 and #1 on the Country Streaming Songs chart, respectively). And that's just the #1 and #2 songs, there are three other songs that "Heartbeat" would need to jump to reach #1, two of which will likely end the week ahead in airplay. I hadn't even thought of "Girl Crush"'s surge. It ended last week behind "Heartbeat" in streams, and given its limited airplay, my guess is that it could return to the top-10 on HCS but not contend for #1.

Please comfort me in saying there's no way this misses #1 lol. I know things look really good right now, but it always seems like someone or something ends up getting in the way.

Please comfort me in saying there's no way this misses #1 lol. I know things look really good right now, but it always seems like someone or something ends up getting in the way. Luke and Granger are plummeting as we speak, Kelsea is going for #1 this week and will succeed, and then it appears likely she will fall which will make way for Carrie. Keith and Randy aren't gaining enough at the moment to be considered imminent threats, and "Heartbeat" is definitely outpacing them at the moment. So right now it appears incredibly likely Carrie will get to #1 on both Billboard and Mediabase. We've still got a week and some change left to wait, so things can change... But as long as "Heartbeat" continues with big gains, it should make it to the top quite comfortably. This information is from Cary at Carriefans.com. I'm by no means an expert; I'm just spreading his thoughts. On another note, can we talk about how refreshing it is to have two women gunning for the top back to back, with another woman (Maren) surging through the teens in airplay and in the top 20 on the iTunes all genre chart?

So it looks like Randy Houser will co-host CCUSA after Keith Urban. Now Carrie Underwood will probably co-host afterwards. This could be really great for Carrie Underwood as she has really put the distance between her and Keith and Randy. Now I think Kelsea Ballerini will aim for number #1 this week and next week then we will see what Randy, Carrie, and Keith do afterwards. I'd be astonished if Kelsea starts falling next week.
Carrie Underwood looks the most likely to hit the top and she might be able to pull in a few weeks on BB if she can block both Keith Urban and Randy Houser which is definitely doable.

Carrie Underwood looks the most likely to hit the top and she might be able to pull in a few weeks on BB if she can block both Keith Urban and Randy Houser which is definitely doable. I like that last sentence of yours. Carrie Underwood doing the blocking instead of being blocked? That's a novel idea!

And people didn't want this song released as a single... I still think there was better options instead of this "Church Bells" "Choctaw County Affair" and my personal favorite from the album "The Girl You Think I Am". "Heartbeat" to me goes down as one of Carrie Underwood most forgetful songs. I am happy that this song has been a success and seems to get the Storyteller era now rolling but I feel like there was better options.
