Maybe they're sending this to radio to give them the option to play this (for whatever reason), but there's no way this is an official single with "In Love by Now" still charting in the 50s and only like 3 months-ish old.

Yeah this sounds more like a promotional single. I think BMLG will stick to working "In Love By Now" as the official radio single.

This is not the single, they timed the release of this for promotional purposes with the announcement of Riley’s album announcement.
Still could be at some point however.

Boy I hope he changes the line about country radio for when this is released as a single. What a fantastic song.

I didn't say anything about the song in my previous post in the thread, but holy smokes this song is incredible. I'm in awe. Please let this be his next single down the road. I wanna hear this on the radio.

This is pretty good for being a list song.
It's clearly connecting with people, being #14 all genre.

If I were BMLG, I would scrap “In Love By Now” and push this. By now it’s obvious that ILBN won’t be nearing the top 40 anytime soon, and even if it did eventually become a #1 hit it wouldn’t be as impactful for listeners (and his career) as “I Wish Grandpas Never Died”.

BMLG is off "In Love By Now." This is officially the new single.

Makes sense given the digital success of this, and I do like seeing a label reacting quickly unlike what happened with Maddie &Tae for example...but I loved “In Love By Now” so I’m a bit disappointed.

This is a great move on BMLG and hopefully will become a great example of why being in touch with what songs are actually connecting with listeners is important. UMG should've done this with Maddie & Tae as "Die from a Broken Heart" sat in the iTunes top 20 for months while "Friends Don't" bubbled around the top 40 on radio.

Wow, I'm actually shocked they did release this as a new single and dropped "In Love by Now" instead of trying to waste 9-11 months on it. This was a good move and a much better song imo.

Every once in a while there is a song that comes out and your instant thought is this is going to be a hit. This is one of those songs.

This will probably out-peak "In Love by Now" before it even officially goes for adds.

Blasts into the BB top 60 two weeks before adds and while "In Love By Now" still hasn't dropped off...
This one will be a hit.

That's awesome! Looking at the adds today, I would had guessed this week was the add week, not two weeks from now!

This'll be his big breakthrough hit. Easy call. Maybe one of the biggest hits of whichever year it peaks. Gives me "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" vibes.

Melody and production on this are great, and I will be excited something that sounds like this will have a chance to smash. However lyrically it doesn’t quite make it all the way for me. I don’t hate them but they’re average.
Still such a smart move by the label, seeing its early success.

Jumps into the Top 40 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart at the #40 position. Was #47 last week.
