It will be interesting to see if this one is finally done after so many weeks. With Gabby, Morgan, Thomas/Jon, Blake/Gwen and this all falling at the same time it will be interesting to see which songs in the teens really start to hit the gas and prove themselves to be big hits. I feel as though Morgan’s will drop slowly and Gabby seems to be doing the same. I think this will have a much quicker drop though.

I can't believe it was this very week back in May 2019 when this song finally made the Mediabase Top 50 and it has been now a full year on that chart, unreal it has been 52 weeks ago when it finally cracked the top 50 and it's now in its 63rd week on Billboard Country Airplay. This song needs to leave like ASAP!!! Should've peaked a long time ago, but now it is so close, might as well claim that #1. I bet the follow up struggles to impact. We'll see!!!

His label will start the push to #1 this weekend.
I think we will have a scenario like this: - Luke Combs will staty at the top for a second week (both charts); - Travis will have his week at n.1 on MB almost sure...for BB we will see if Sony will hold a third week at #1 for Luke. - Then Carly/Lee will push for n.1 on both charts.

I also think it will go #1 on The chart in two weeks. Once the label lets it go, I Have a feeling “After A Few” will fall like a rock, since many stations will have had it in rotation for so long. The late adapters may keep it going for awhile though since the burnrate for them won’t be as huge. As for the next single, I would assume that “ABBY” would be the favorite, but we would have to wait and see.

I also agree that ABBY is a great single choice and has been spun on The Highway for awhile now and sounds great there.

Not bad for a song that's been on the chart for 1.25 years. The second biggest spin increase:
2 1 TRAVIS DENNING After A Few 8528 7900 628 52.8

The fact that it is going to take this song 71 weeks of being promoted at country radio to hit #1 is just ridiculous. The only good thing this does for me is give me hope that labels will keep female songs promoted that long (looking at the latest singles from Maddie & Tae, Lauren Alaina, Tenille Arts, Ashley McBryde).
Good for Travis Denning, but as a chart watcher it is kind of annoying, and it isn't even like this song has connected in a big way (#109 all genre on iTunes, 3.6 million views for the YouTube video and 22k in likes, which is pretty low for a music video that was released over a year ago).

I love this. There's something about that melody that takes me back to the late 90s/early 00s. One year later and it's #1! (Wow, what a looooong run.) Happy for it! One of my favorite country tracks (not by Kacey, Maren, or Carrie) in years.

I can't believe it took 1.5 years for this to hit #1. New low for chart sluggishness.

45 weeks on CT40 for this burnt-to-a-crisp tune is beyond ridiculous, but what is unquestionably among the biggest culprits for these lengthy chart run of 35 weeks or more (and I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this) is the size and frequency of many of these obnoxiously huge chart 'pushes' to get songs to #1 at all costs.
Blake & Gwen rose from #50 to #1 in a superstar-level 16 weeks @ Mediabase, and like lots of my fellow posters I'm seriously burned out on many of the songs currently on CT40, and only a handful of singles have made it to #1 in just the past six months without one of those insane pushes, and the farther back you go the easier it is to see how detrimental those pushes have been for singles by newcomers as well as superstars including Carrie, Eric, Luke, Jason and others.
Thankfully given this deluge of very good to tremendous new singles IMHO from the likes of Brad, Tim, Lady Antebellum, Brothers Osborne, Lee Brice, Midland, Hardy & Old Dominion, and others alongside new singles from promising newcomers including Gabby Barrett, Ingrid Andress, Ashley McBride, Brett Young, Matt Snell and Tenille Arts off the top of my head, the format definitely needed a nice chunk of fresh new singles from a great mix of format superstars sprinkled in with these much-welcomed newcomers which is what we got, and with summer being only two weeks away, the timing was just about perfect IMHO.

I saw that he had one mediabase add for “Where That Beer’s Been” is this his next single or was it some random add? Sometimes stations will play a non-single, although it’s rare?

The station that added it is KBEQ out of Kansas City. I’m pretty sure it’s a random add at this point as this isn’t the first time KBEQ has added an “album cut” and played it in regular rotation. Might be a point to the future though.

Given the longevity of the time this song spent on the chart, I'm going to have a hunch that this will be ranked high on both Billboard and Mediabase in terms of year-end positions. 65 weeks to get up to #1 is way too long.

I have been monitoring the Billboard airplay chart for the Year end and as of this week the only songs ahead are "Homesick", "Chasin' You", and "Kinfolks".

I’ve definitely heard this song enough for a lifetime, and I barely listen to the radio
