When was the last time a George Strait song has a music video? Because this song may have one.

Last music video for George was “Living For The Night” in 2009...but that was a live one. You have to go back to “Troubadour” in 2008 for a non-live recorded music video.

Welp, I didn't get a chance to run to Target today until later in the evening, and George's new album had completely sold out! They had about 3 different shelves where it should have been, and all 3 were picked clean. So, I'm sad for me, but very happy for George! Lol

Weight of the Badge is not a single released to country radio (it's a heavy song, but not radio friendly). Honky Tonk Bar is moving up steadily in spins and audience, but it's frustrating that it's only at #20 five weeks after it debuted at...you guessed it #20. Less frustrating is listening to his new CD which came out yesterday. It's great (of course). Anyone care to bet that Sing One with Willie will be a duet at the awards show?

It has already been announced that he is performing with Miranda.

Might chart next week with Billie Eilish's album bomb probably losing some tracks next week.

Sigh, the song drops 22-23 on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart, and seems to be treading water on the Country Airplay and Mediabase charts. It's making small gains, but is about to be passed by Blake and Eric Church. But two songs from up above will go recurrent shortly (Combs, Michael Ray). Which leaves George still somewhere in the 19-22 range. I'm hoping it can at least match I Got a Car at #17 (plus RIAA gold status). It looks like a top 10 is not in the cards.

A lot of songs in the teens have slowed down a bit, including Maren Morris and Thomas Rhett. I wouldn’t write this one out yet. :)

Yeah I would say I'm nervous about the song's gains, but the other songs around it are in the same boat. I don't follow the charts as closely as I used to, but this seems the general path of most songs in this section of the chart unless it's Thomas Rhett, Luke, or Blake.

Ladyfan, I wouldn't say I'm being negative, just realistic. In 6 weeks of chart life, the song has failed to gain one spot on any of the charts. He's making modest gains in spins and audience, and songs above him are going recurrent, but songs below him are passing him by at the same pace. It feels like walking up the down escalator. But a song being at 6 weeks in the 2019 chart landscape is really young. This song has plenty of time left to climb the charts given how young it is.

I don't think many people here care about this or virtually any country song charting on the Hot 100. I'm sure the label is concerned with making money on the song, but it wouldn't be hard to film a video to help push streams if they REALLY wanted to. They just don't care.

Charting on the Hot 100 (and how well it does once it charts) these days is a good way to tell if a song is successful. Top 40 country songs (or just below) are the biggest country hits. And I don't think a George Strait video is actually going to get much success.

And I don't think a George Strait video is actually going to get much success. I agree that it is ONE way to determine how well a song does. I would argue that most country fans follow the airplay chart (these are the countdown shows) and are much more interested in the success of that (which in the Hot 100 formula is rather minuscule, especially on the country format). Thinking that a flash in the pan song that charts on the Hot 100 because it's essentially a pop song that can get cross-genre play is more successful than a top 10 country airplay song is more in the eyes of the beholder than anything else. I'm not saying you're wrong, but the rankings of a traditional country song on a chart devised to rank R&B/Pop/cross-genre songs doesn't make a ton of sense. Two different ways to look at it. If this song climbs into the top 10, it will chart on the Hot 100 regardless due to airplay alone.

If this song climbs into the top 10, it will chart on the Hot 100 regardless due to airplay alone. Not exactly. There was a couple of songs that made the Top 10 and did not chart. A good example is "Outta Style" by Aaron Watson. "A Girl Like You" by Easton Corbin is also a song that barely made the Hot 100 because it had practically nothing but radio. If we're talking objectively, a cross-genre airplay song is more successful, but even a Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, or Luke Combs song, as they've never crossed to Top 40/CHR radio, are much more successful than songs that peter out that doesn't chart at all. Most country #1s go to the 40s or 50s, and they're also much more successful than those songs that struggle to even make the Hot 100. Radio, in a lot of ways, it's scripted. Manipulated by labels. We've seen plenty of cases of songs having ridiculous pushes to get Mediabase or even Billboard #1s in the past.

I'm just a week late, but it has been ten years since George Strait landed his (so far) final #1 hit, River Of Love in 2009. That was the same year he was named Artist of The Decade by the A.C.M.. A chart and video:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING APRIL 18, 2009: 1. RIVER OF LOVE-GEORGE STRAIT-MCA 2. Don't Think I Can't Love You-Jake Owen-RCA 3. It Won't Be Like This For Long-Darius Rucker-Capitol 4. It's America-Rodney Atkins-Curb 5. She's Country-Jason Aldean-Broken Bow 6. Here Comes Goodbye-Rascal Flatts-Lyric Street 7. White Horse-Taylor Swift-Big Machine 8. Nothin' To Die For-Tim McGraw-Curb 9. I Told You So-Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis-Arista 10. It Happens-Sugarland-Mercury

I know the purists will try to spin a different narrative, but George's final #1 hit was (so far) "Give It All We Got Tonight" in 2013! However, it would sure be awesome to see him get a 61st #1 during the 10-year anniversary of his final Billboard #1 from 2009

However, it would sure be awesome to see him get a 61st #1 during the 10-year anniversary of his final Billboard #1 from 2009 Give It All We Got Tonight deserved its #2 peak on Billboard because of that ridiculous push for that '60 For 60' campaign (meaning George Strait has scored 60 #1s in his 60 years on the planet). I'm glad Darius Rucker blocked Strait from the top with Wagon Wheel, which I gushed about a lot in that thread. If I'm not mistaken, didn't ALL the labels that had songs in the top ten stop promoting them so Strait can get a #1 at MediaBase? If that's the case, Give It All We Got Tonight became a de facto chart topper there. That would be like the two of us meeting for the championship and they give it to you before we can engage with each other. You become the de facto champ and everyone wonders if you were going to win on your own or not. As for Every Little Honky Tonk Bar, I see it gained a paltry 16 spins on the rolling chart. I am still optimistic that Strait can pull off a top ten here. A top five or even #1 will be a tall order. Let's face it, Strait WILL have to fight for chart position and upward movement with this single. It certainly won't be a cakewalk for him.

I'm one of those Billboard airplay purists, and have been disappointed for ten years that his last #1 was Rive of Love. Yes, I understand he has 60 #1s from all charts, but the number is inflated due to some weird happenings on the old Gavin chart (Lead On being #1?), and the label pushing for the top spot on Mediabase 7-8 years ago. I'll take it because I love the guy, but it will always be comparing apples to oranges I think.

On the bright side, the label games were only needed to get to a nice round number, not to break any records. So maybe the exact number is questionable, but his status as the record holder for most #1's is untainted. Hopefully no one will ever get close enough for the exact number to matter.

George no longer holds the record for most Billboard #1s in any genre, he was surpassed by Madonna a few years ago, she now leads George 46-44. Her #1s are on the Dance Songs chart.

Yeah, well I don't think anyone was referring to anything beyond the country chart. Nobody is even remotely close to threatening his record on the genre chart.

I remember Madonna breaking the all-genre record a few years back. That chart has always been a revolving door with new songs constantly jumping towards the top (which honestly makes sense).

"Every Little Honky Tonk Bar" has now matched the peak of 2013's "I Got A Car" which peaked at #17 back in 2014 and is #17 this week on Billboard Country Airplay Songs but still gaining and could still go higher. Don't count this out just yet. It has slowed down but still hanging on and song is still young even though it has been at radio a little over 2 months now. 2000's "Don't Make Me Come Over There And Love You" also peaked at #17 in early 2001 for Strait.
