This is EXACTLY how I was, too. I didn't get the extreme passion for Love in a Bar at all - I changed the station whenever it was on the Highway - but I really have liked Diamond or Twine and To a T a LOT.

Girl, speak UP with your opinions! I feel like we have the same taste most of the time but I felt like I was alone in not feeling "Love in a Bar" at all 😂

I really thought I had mentioned that I didn't care for it! But there you have it - I didn't like it.

Post more in 2019? Resolution? Sure.

I don't see how zaclord liking a post almost 2 years ago is pertinent to this discussion. Bringing this up seems a little passive aggressive? 

No that wasn't my intention at all and if that came off that way I am very sorry to you and zaclord 🌈 especially. I was just seeing how much Zaclord had mentioned his indifferent nature to "Love In A Bar" and since there was no post of him saying it I wanted to have fun and show the receipts of what he actually did. If it came off as shady, passive aggressive or mean than I greatly apologize and hope you and Zaclord can forgive me.

Ugh. Can there be a song released by a male artist that doesn’t sound like every other song released by a male artist? I just feel that this song could have been recorded by Sam Hunt, FGL, Walker Hayes, or anyone else and it would sound exactly the same. Nothing special. Trade this one on the playlist for a song by a female artist. How about that?

[phil1996]

Damn this is a great song. Really excited for his album. He’s got star written all over him

[raylatch98]

Delivered to country radio today. Impact date moved back a week to February 18th.

[collinkottke]

Just noticed that "To A T" debuted on the Hot Country Songs chart at #47, so there is definitely palpable interest in this song.

[phil1996]

I still think Michigan, City Girl, Diamonds or Twine and Love In a Bar are all much superior, but I am very happy to see the early interest. Anything to get the album out

[collinkottke]

Music video coming on Thursday!

[Tylerjamesnerd]

Does anyone know if this has impacted at radio yet or when the adds date is?

Impacts February 18th.

Video is here! Heavily features an LGBT couple (plus a cute elderly couple and some others), Maren makes a tiny cameo, and Ryan is shirtless for half the video if any of those things make you want to watch it :)

[.indulgecountry]

Good music video. I just wish I liked this song, but I still don't care for it. "Michigan for the Winter" is great though.

[Deleted]

Ahhh, after reading zaclord's comments, I was hoping for more shirtlessness lol But it's a good video and the song keeps growing on me. If I had to predict anything, if Love In a Bar didn't do a thing, I don't see a real chance for this... but who knows, stranger things have happened.

[raylatch98]

Add date was pretty low for this song, only topping out at 21 adds for add week. That seems a bit underwhelming

[.indulgecountry]

This still doesn't sound like a hit to me and based on the adds it pulled in, I think they made a mistake going with this one.

Agreed. This song is boring, generic, annoying, and not as clever as the songwriters probably thought it was.

"Michigan for the Winter" sounds like the one to get him a hit...such a good song.

[phil1996]

Why is it country radio will play every young boring male artist, but not the one who’s actually insanely talented? Not to mention he’s Marens husband?

Like, this is my least favorite Hurd song but it’s still miles better than that Mitchell TenCents stuff eating up radio.

[josephmorgan]

This is the other debut on Billboard's Country Airplay chart besides Mitchell's song at #57.

[collinkottke]

A couple weeks ago, Ryan released a stripped down version of "To A T".


Released a new song today called "Her Name Was Summer".

Idk if radio will ever make him a star, but this dude puts out some damn good album tracks. “Her Name Was Summer” has a great chorus and I love the production. Sounds a little similar to “Michigan in the Winter” but apparently the same dude wrote/produced this song

[maine]

"Her Name Was Summer" is great. God he needs to become the next big thing.

[maine]

Top 30 on Country now, and this was also certified gold by the RIAA.

[zaclord 🌈]

So glad this is slowly becoming a hit. Awesome to see it's already Gold. That's crazy. I guess the heavy play on SiriusXM probably helped with that a lot though.

He also released an EP (Platonic) on Friday that is fantastic. "Half Hoping" and "Platonic" are great, fun radio songs and then "Wish for the World" is a wonderfully written ballad. "Florida With a Girl" is the only one I don't love on the EP. This song is on it too. Really love Ryan's music and I hope he continues to put out great stuff and build his presence in the genre.

How is it that this guy isn’t at Morgan Wallen / Jordan Davis / Jimmie Allen territory yet? Radio plays all of these mediocre male artists but can’t find room for Ryan Hurd?

Hurd has literally *everything* you want out of a young artist in 2019 and somehow still can’t get a full record released? Writes KILLER melodies, Maren’s husband, superb voice, great material that fits perfectly on today’s radio, but no hits?

He’s one of my favorite songwriters but i think his voice could be better. With that said, his raspy voice gives his songs some added flavor. Agreed that he should be huge.

[.indulgecountry]

I still loathe this song and think the melody and his vocal delivery of it are super grating, but I have liked other songs from him and I'd like to see him get success with something better after this peaks. "Love in a Bar" should've been a breakthrough hit for him instead of this though.

[gardyfan]

This is the worst of the songs I've heard from him but it is still good. But I have yet to hear it on either of my local stations.

[raylatch98]

Don't be shocked if this song goes recurrent real soon and gives up, this song has spent a second week without a bullet on Mediabase (one more and "To a T" is done). Obviously most songs are struggling, but out of all the songs in the Top 30 on Mediabase "To a T" is one of the clear weak links in the Top 30. 

This song has grown on me and I love the Maren Morris backing vocals. But not shocked this song took over 40 weeks to hit the Top 25.

[ClevelandRox]

Thank Jehovah this song is hopefully done, by far my least favorite song he's released.

[phil1996]

Half Hoping, Michigan For The Winter should be singles at some point.. Florida With a Girl is a jam. Wish For The World is incredible. Guys loaded with hits and he only has like 12 songs out
