It appears UMG is taking the Maddie & Tae route with Lauren Alaina. Two EP's in a row... hopefully that does mean a full-length album is to come. Hopefully that also means there will eventually be a single from the project that takes her back to #1.

I am just struggling to see what is her "Die From A Broken Heart" hopefully there is one on the new EP but the only potential one I see of the songs released is "The Other Side". Hopefully she has a song that connects largely when the EP is released
Note I do expect the label to keep promoting this til at least the EP comes out. Also boo at it being an EP

Also boo at it being an EP Yeah my current thought is that they promote “Getting Good” until the EP release, see what/if anything from that really connects, and go from there. I wish this could’ve at least hit the top 20 but it just doesn’t seem to be in the cards.

This had a really good update today, so it looks like it isn't totally done yet.

Oh boy, I can already envision one of those clever country turn-of-phrases for the hook of "Bar Back" just reading the title. I wish I could get that bar, back or something to that effect. Really excited to hear the two duets, too! The fact that the EP is named after the one with Jon Pardi makes me hopeful that maybe it could be pegged as a future single. I know she's featured on his album too so I'd really like to see one of the two songs hit radio, whether it's the one on her EP or the one on Heartache Medication, lol. Very excited.

If "Getting Good" doesn't take off, I do think Lauren's next best shot at a hit is a GREAT duet with a male, a la "I Hope You're Happy Now".
It would also be cool to see the duet with Lukas Graham be something they send to HAC or Pop.

The little clips of music in her Instagram story sound SO GOOD! Love the production from what I hear!

The release of a new ep makes me think that a new single is coming.

Jesus Christ at today's update. It gained over 100 spins and 600k in audience. Also saw a nice bump on iTunes, probably because of the release of "Run."

I wasn't feeling "Run" at first, but the more it wore on, I started to really enjoy it.
I obviously will always root for her, but for some reason I just haven't really been able to get into this one. It's a good song, but I find myself skipping it a lot in my playlists just because I'm not feeling like listening to it. I love her and I'm always hoping for the best since country hasn't really given her a fair shake outside of "Road Less Traveled" unfortunately.

"Run" is great. From the previews on her Instagram story, this new EP seems super radio ready (as was the entire last EP).
If the Pardi duet catches on my bet is that is what they push after "Getting Good" peaks.

Sorry to double post, but the gains on Mediabase look really good - so good I bet this song re-enters on Billboard. Fingers crossed. I also think the gains this week (specifically yesterday) came from Bobby Bones playing the Trisha version on his show. They actually talk about radio a bit on this interview which I thought was pretty interesting. We also get a clip of the duet with Jon Pardi and his vocal on it is the highest range I've ever heard him sing.

I rarely listen to Bobby Bones interviews, but that was excellent. Lauren Alaina has such a great light and personality to her on top of her immense vocal talent. She just seems like such a genuine and lovely person. And the way she just busts out into songs (like when she sings the snippet of "Genie on the Bottle") with such perfection and ease is chilling. I know there's always a lot of pessimism with her career trajectory so far since country radio routinely drops the ball on her singles, but I think her grind is going to pay off and she'll get another hit soon, and thankfully I don't see her going anywhere even if she were to continue to only hit the middle range of the charts with her singles, as she clearly has a lot of support from the industry in other ways.

Run might be my favorite song from her, followed by Breathe Again, The Other Side, The Middle and Doin' Fine.

Weeks on airplay chart still remain at 40 so this song looks to have not re-entered in which case all I have to say is that the label should just abandon ship because if Billboard is not going to let it back on when it gained 100 spins and over 1 million in audience on Mediabase (provided a good chunk of audience was Westwood One) than I don't see them probably ever letting this song back on and with that in tow at this point this song is a waste of time and space on the chart just taking up unnecessary space on Mediabase as it is almost for sure going to lose it's bullet on Billboard.
Honestly UMG should just start anew with whatever connects the most on the new EP because this song despite me personally liking it is an absolute waste to promote

I actually heard this on the radio for the first time today and thought it would end up re-charting. I think she would be smart to release a single with an actual chorus next (or the duet, since with Jon Pardi attached it will most likely be auto-added by the sexist stations!)

So what will it take to re-chart on billboard? I would hate for them to let this go, when it seem to finally be doing ok. Run would be a great single if they were to choose that.

Echoing the post right above me: what exactly does it take to re-chart? Does it need to show more gains from this previous week? Or does it need to show more gains from the last time it charted?
Its bullet continues to look healthy on Mediabase.

This re-entered the Billboard chart at #33! That's a new peak, right?

This re-entered the Billboard chart at #33! That's a new peak, right? Yep previous peak was #35. Very happy to see this re-enter and hopefully it can finally hit the Top 30 on either chart as it seems like it is right on the edge of getting inside the Top 30 on both charts.
