7 adds this week. Much lower than every other single. Not surprised since it's the fifth one. Today wasn't the adds date. "Sixteen" doesn't go for adds until October 1. The label is waiting until "Life Changes" decreases in airplay a bit more, as they should. I have no doubt that "Sixteen" will get at least 40-50 adds on October 1 (and will probably be on a total of 60+ stations already by that day, since 14 stations have added it early).

I thought "Sixteen" was awful, I did understand the idea of the lyrics, and the melody for me was just tired & boring. "Sixteen" a mess of a song in my opinion. I would bet this doesn't make top 10, just a guess.

I would bet this doesn't make top 10, just a guess. Since he broke out with "It Goes Like This", he has missed number one once. This will for sure make the top ten and will very likely be his 12th number one.

The only song to really flop for him was "Vacation". And that one seemed deliberate.

This was said over and over again in the original thread of the song. And I know you read them because you posted countless times about how much you hated this song.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm glad he released the radio version of "Life Changes" today. I prefer it over the original version.

I'm not sure if this is on the "public" release, but the radio release I got has Leave Right Now - Martin Jensen Mix Leave Right Now - Nashville Mix Leave Right Now - Radio Edit Along with the bonus tracks. edit- I guess this was an EP earlier this year. Just seemed strange to me lol

If a song sells well and is received well live from an artist Country Radio loves then I pretty sure Rhett and his label thought this would be a top 10 hit. It just fell short thats all. NBD.

He just wanted an excuse to play it at concerts. Would it have been nice? Sure. But I think it was pretty expected that it wasn't going to do well given it sounds like an early Aaron Carter song. That's how goofy Rhett sounds rapping.

They didn't put "Vacation" out to fail on purpose; they put it out because even though it was polarizing for radio, the exposure from radio allowed it to reach a wider audience and be successful in other metrics. Radio isn't the be-all and end-all anymore.

This is on the Hot Country playlist now. Hope this does well. Don't think it'll do better than "Life Changes" though, solely for it being the fifth single.

I just disagree with the original term deliberate. Thats all.

Well they intentionally and consciously released a song that they knew would be polarizing for radio so I don't think there's anything wrong with the use of 'deliberate.' Again, they had different motives for releasing that song as a single, because there were definitely safer options on the record that they could've invested more time and money into pushing up the charts, but they opted for a song that they probably knew going in would be a solid return on investment with little promotional effort on their part.

It's weird to release a deluxe edition and release nothing from it, no? Cause this is almost definitely the last single from the era.

This is single 5. I don't see a 6th single coming. But i could see them sending DALB in between this and a new song just to keep him on radio. Not that he needs that. Kind of like how Luke Bryan sent "Games" to radio a few years ago but it wasn't really a single.

Radio looks at that song as a Danielle Bradbery song with Thomas Rhett bonus vocals. Kind of similar to the latest singles from Darius Rucker and Sugarland are viewed as.

Kind of similar to the latest singles from Darius Rucker and Sugarland are viewed as. Regardless, it's still a Thomas Rhett duet that will be getting airplay after "Sixteen" peaks (since it'll take longer to go up the charts), and it could be seen as a way to keep him on radio in between eras if they don't have new music ready to go right away but also don't want to release another single from Life Changes. Basically what Carrie Underwood did by ceasing promotion for the Storyteller era in favor of just letting "The Fighter" do its thing.

Thomas is already in the studio recording for the next album. When he was on Bobby Bones a couple weeks ago, he basically confirmed that "Sixteen" was the last single from this album and a new lead single will be next.

Kind of like how Luke Bryan sent "Games" to radio a few years ago but it wasn't really a single. Capitol Nashville never actually sent "Games" to radio. Stations simply played it on their own. If the label had sent the song to radio, then it would have counted as a single. As for "Sixteen", it already has 25 adds a week before impact date. Radio seems really excited about this one.
