Not at all. There just happened to be a lot of competition, so they took the #1 while they could get it, and I see nothing wrong with doing that before the monster hit of "God's Country" came to #1. It was a very good streamer and seller. It definitely deserved #1 over songs like "Love Ain't", "Make It Sweet", and "Legends". Just because you think it deserved #1 over “weaker”songs peaking at different times doesn’t mean this deserves a#1. The whole point of comparing things is that it’s all relative to what’s around it. It really doesn’t matter that Legends was weaker when this one was artificially inflated. The majority of #1s are "inflated". There isn't much natural when it comes to radio, especially country radio. "Love Someone" tried a similar push and didn't get it.

Almost everything is given a final push to #1 when it comes to the end of its run (provided its in the top 5 or close to it), whether its a desperate push by something that's probably going to come up short even with the extra muscle, but its par the course for how singles are promoted at country radio. They did the push for Thomas when they did because those weeks are all more or less pre-arranged by the labels ahead of time to coincide with the co-hosting duties on whatever that countdown show is.

Might be a top-heavy fall like "Love Someone," which cooled off a bit during its second drop week. I've made my reservations about this one clear but I'll wait a few weeks to see how it holds up in recurrent airplay before making a final judgement about how big a "true hit" it was.

This one just spent a second week at #1 in Canada, which is very impressive because that chart is even more one-and-done than the American one. It's only the fourth song this year to spend more than a single week at the top there.
