This is really disappointing. I really thought Thomas was gonna get a big crossover hit. Thomas's version is much better and the lyrics feel more authentic coming from him.

I agree, it's a poor version. And the original is doing well on hot ac. We don't know the reasons behind the cover but frankly it's not cool to jeopardize a possible crossover of a newcomer (newcomer to pop, of course)

This is very interesting... It's arbitrary how Rhett crossed over to Hot AC but not Top 40... Both versions are performing about the same on their respective formats
Top 40 34 32 NELLY Die A Happy Man 1413 1337 76 3.681
Hot AC 22 22 THOMAS RHETT Die a Happy Man 1299 1286 13 5.274

This release was so weird. He covers a hit country song while it's still popular and beats it to a pop release, which seems to irritate the original's label, but while it's out, does absolutely zero promotion for it and doesn't even release a video until it winds up a big flop. Like what were they going for lol? Nelly hasn't had a hit in almost six years, they can't have expected it to just suddenly smash on its own.
