Audio:
Fantastic song. They're 3 for 3 with me. I really am glad they're continuing to push singles from them and that "Lipstick" and "Wild West" did alright on the charts given the lack of sales and general buzz for these girls thus far. They stand out in a great way though with their female harmonies, something sorely missing from the country scene for a long time. Would love for their label to finally get an album release for them down the road, regardless of how this one does.

Heard this on The Highway this morning. Really strong track and I could see it taking off.

I am starting to wonder if their album will ever get released. I saw them nearly 2 years ago at a festival (Little Big Town was the headliner), and they teased an album then.
The Highway has been playing this for at least a month.

29 total adds is a little higher than I would have thought. Just because they have already had 2 attempts at radio and usually when a female artist as of late fails with the first song they release, the singles released beyond that tend to do less impact wise as well.
Does anyone have the numbers of how many first week total adds "Lipstick" and "Wild West" got?

Lipstick: 29 first week (plus 6 early adds for a total of 35) Wild West: 24 first week (plus 4 early adds for a total of 28) So... basically this one starts off right on the same foot as the first two singles. |

Which is shocking to me because I figured after 2 songs that failed to gain much traction, radio would start to cool down on these girls. |

According to the Mediabase PDF. "Buy My Own Drinks" is at #58 on Mediabase with 424 spins accustomed so far. Hopefully this song can at least keep their Top 40 streak intact.

"Buy My Own Drinks" entered the Mediabase Top 50 this morning. Runaway June has gained 144 spins the past week and besides Old Dominion and Kelsea Ballerini the trio has the highest bullet out of all the songs in the #31 to #50 range.
Good to see this song finally get a bit of a spark and hopefully this can at least be their 3rd straight Top 40 hit.
Also maybe it's just me but could this be a future OTV selection since I don't think Runaway June has been selected? The gains seem awfully suspicious.

I'd be ecstatic if this was chosen for OTV. These girls really could use the boost to help them out. Their music is too good not to be doing better at radio and I'd love to see them finally get a hit big enough to get the label to release their debut album.

I would DIE if this were OTV. These girls are so good and we are desperately overdue for an all-female group to be successful in country music again. "Buy My Own Drinks" is phenomenal and I'm glad to see it catching a little fire lately. Deserves to be huge.

Second week in the Mediabase Top 50 was a really great week for "Buy My Own Drinks". Runaway June moved up 4 spots to #44, gained 103 spins this week and they were one of only 6 acts below the Top 30 to have gained at least 100 spins this week (Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, LoCash, Chase Rice, and Kelsea Ballerini being the others).
While this is probably my least favorite single of theirs, I am still rooting for these girls and the song isn't too bad. I find it kind of funny that despite never getting OTV these girls have had pretty decent success for a female act as I do think "Buy My Own Drinks" can make the Top 40 and be their third straight Top 40.

I could actually see this become a moderate hit, maybe a big one if it sells well. It sounds much more modern and commercial than their last two singles which already did well for songs from female newcomers. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s testing well at radio due to its feel-good nature and uptempo-ness (definitely not a word lol).

"Buy My Own Drinks" becomes Runaway June's third Top 40 song on country radio as the ladies land at #40. Gaining 96 spins and 826k in audience.
It is absolutely bonkers in a good way, to me that these girls have done this decently well so far in their careers considering a couple of things. 1. They are female, all 3 of them. Pure female voices without any male vocals to help. 2. None of their singles have ever sold that well including this one. "Wild West" did the best sales wise and that was mediocre at best in the sales department.
I am not complaining at all, because I have loved every single Runaway June they have done even if this one isn't totally clicked with me, but besides Maddie & Tae and Kelsea Ballerini, I can't think of another female act that has had this much success early on without the help of On The Verge in recent years.
I just really hope the sales of this song can pick up soon as I don't know how much longer radio is going to overlook that. Maybe the label and Runaway June have a music video in the works soon and that can help generate some buzz for this single.

Officially enters the top 40 on Billboard at #39. Freaking bonkers to me that Runaway June has 3 Top 40 singles, all of which had horrible sales during the chart climbs. Very interested in this songs chart run heading into the new year. Taking 10 weeks on the Billboard chart to hit the Top 40 is very impressive especially for a non established female act. Excited to see how well this does. |

I decided to do a comparison of all 3 Runaway June songs and see where each song was at in the Mediabase Top 50, 50 days in.
At the 50 day mark:
"Lipstick" was at #44 with 811 spins and 2.844 audience wise.
"Wild West" was at #45 with 660 spins and 2.636 Mediabase Audience.
So far "Buy My Own Drinks" is at a better pace than both as Runaway June is at #37 and 1156 spins with 4.587 in Mediabase audience.
This song continues to grow and I am feeling really optimistic about this songs future, I just hope the sales get better.
