Kind of a cute video, and he actually looks good with the buzz cut look. His voice is better like this in a talk-singing style song. I don't see this song doing anything but it is better than some of his past efforts, for sure.

I think he sounds worse with this talk singing stuff provided I've never liked when artists do that. Hunter Hayes sounds more comfortable when he sings songs similar to Dan + Shay than Walker Hayes imo. |

I hate his singing voice, it reminds me of Gary from RF, which is probably my least favorite vocal of all time (along with RaeLynn). So the talking is a nice departure for me. Also I love Walker Hayes so maybe that has something to do with it  |

"Heartbreak" is the third most added song with 28 adds this week.

So, I guess nothing happened with this despite the decent adds on add date?

So, I guess nothing happened with this despite the decent adds on add date? It went for adds less than a month ago and it's close-ish to charting so there is still plenty of time for it to do something. I imagine Warner Bros will be on this song for a long time. |

Glad to see Hunter back on the charts, and I still do believe he’s got some great talent to offer so I’ll be happy if this can climb, but it’s add count is still lower than I would hope. I’m getting a mid 30’s peak vibe here at most.

I’m getting a mid 30’s peak vibe here at most. That could be a good start but if this tests well at radio, I suspect it could pull off something ala Eli Young Band and be a slow-growing Hit. |

Considering how similar this song sounds very similar to Walker Hayes and none of his music tested really well. I don't see this song testing very well as the talk singing style has rarely made it through the charts. |

Country Airplay: #57 (debut) Country Airplay: #58 (re-entry) Country Airplay: #56 (re-entry) The time between these posts and the fact that the song hasn’t moved from that spot on the chart when it does make it is a sign they need to just let this one go. They seem to be behind Hunter still but maybe giving Radio a new song at this point would be best if they’re going to bother to push more. |

Eh, this is really the best chance he has at getting played on country radio. It took forever for this one to chart. His next single will clearly do the same at radio. If they want serious radio airplay, they're going to have to invest in a marathon chart run. They might see more success at secondary radio.

It didn't take all that long to chart though after going for adds, the problem is it hasn't moved from where it first charted and keeps falling out of the chart. It's already in a marathon run, it's been 21 weeks since it went for adds. Just because it wasn't on the chart that entire time doesn't mean the label wasn't pushing it. |

It charted pretty soon after it was released and then it's spent like 5 months doing exactly nothing on the charts (while not even being on the chart for most of it), so yeah, there's no hope for this. They'd have been better off releasing a brand new single to coincide with the album drop. It's time to move on. |

Just drop this and release "Loving You." That could be a huge hit if he has any chance to have one.

I prefer Wild Blue but I do like Loving You for a single. This is also a trilogy, so he may have more up his sleeve for this year.

"Invsible" really killed his momentum IMO. I thought Storyline was a great album with several potential smashes but everything has been lackluster since
