iTunes US: Carrie Underwood - "Drinking Alone": #182 (+29) Glad it's doing well, but I don't think hourly updates are needed. You can do whatever you want, Joe. Don’t let Angry Matt steer ya away

Glad it's doing well, but I don't think hourly updates are needed. You can do whatever you want, Joe. Don’t let Angry Matt steer ya away About that... Welcome to the Pulse Country forum! Outlined below is a set of posting guidelines for the country forum, which are here to supplement the overall board rules (which, if you are a board member, you need to be familiar with!) We have these additional guidelines for a reason--to promote and encourage good posting behavior, so that each person’s merits and contributions are respected and appreciated. Country Forum Posting Guidelines3) Daily Mediabase/iTunes Updates. In the past, posting such updates (in song threads) was not allowed. However, after gathering much feedback, we've come to a compromise on how to adjust this rule. We (the staff) won't be ultra-restrictive here, but we don't really want to see a bunch of numbers without any commentary or purpose, as the goal here is to facilitate discussion. Since daily updates can often be misleading, we prefer chart analysis that incorporates multi-day trends, as it is much more effective when it comes to watching/discussing charts. Essentially, we’re willing to be more flexible and less strict here. In short, we will allow Mediabase and iTunes updates, but posting an update every single day will still be discouraged. Instead, we encourage you to incorporate multiple days of data into your post, so as to gain context about how the song is trending. The ultimate goal is to keep threads from getting bogged down from chart updates every single day ( Note: if daily updates become a problem, we reserve the right to re-adjust this rule). Also, keep in mind that there is now a daily Mediabase Update thread, and the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts are posted each week. The Kworb website also displays daily Mediabase updates, including spincrease, bullet, and audience numbers, for the top 50 songs. There are links to these websites further down in this thread!

Hi I'm new here! (kinda) been creeping as a guest for a while but once I heard Drinking Alone was released as the 4th single I had to make an account. I feel like this could be a huge hit (hopefully crossover) and I am SO pumped to see her perform it right before winning EOTY at the CMAs!

And I'll leave this conversation by dropping your second to last post before this one: Does this guy realize he’s 43? Him and Garth are the college graduates who still go to high school parties. Grow up. Be artists. Show growth.

I mean considering the fact that EOTY is always the last award of the night at the very end of the show, it is a pretty safe assumption she would perform before that award is announced.

Like she'll finish performing and then they'd hand it out? Then I don't think that was announced or what the poster meant.

Carrie will likely be at the top of the 9 or 10 o’clock hour, or at the bottom of one of those hours; I don’t think they’d stick Carrie in right before EOTY because that’s a hectic time during the show as a host, I’d imagine.

I'm making a bold prediction: Carrie Underwood will be at the top of the 8 p.m. hour opening the show with Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire. There.

Originally it was posted here that she would be performing right before she “wins” EOTY; so I questioned that... but I’m guessing that might’ve just been an assumption. Not sure what Ray was saying though

He was letting you know that the EOTY award is the last thing they do, so everyone performs before. Hope this helps!!

I always felt that this song could do well if remixes as well, and be quite the sultry duet? Obviously it is great on its own, but did anyone else think if they got the right duet partner they could really turn this into a very heated record about two people scorned by their ex lovers?

This and "Low" would both make great duets, so I definitely agree. Not sure who I'd want on DA - maybe Dan + Shay? (I think Carrie's voice would blend well with Shay's power). I'm glad they are both solo songs, but DA definitely would make for an amazing duet, too.

This is probably the worst post in this thread. “Drinking Alone” as a duet just doesn’t work on any level, and adding another voice to “Low” would destroy the narrative and power behind the verses. Bad ideas.

OF COURSE I love it as a solo vocal, but I always thought a voice like Stapleton's would match well and could make the song work as a harmonized duet. So there, now I have the worst post in this thread AND the second worst post! ETA: Calling someone's post "the worst in this thread" will always be a rude thing to say; emphatic or not. But it's all good. My feelings are intact.

@ “worst post in this thread”. The drama! I don’t like the idea of this as a duet either.

Carrie stans (some, not all #disclaimer) stay doing the most with the theatrics. I don't think "Drinking Alone" would work as a duet, and I imagine since it's her song that would mean whoever they brought in to sing with her would probably have to take the second verse, and that's the best part of the song, so a big hell no @ that.

Good point. I did not think of that... I mean I love Carrie on the whole song; I just think sonically and lyrically it could work. In no way would I ever prefer this as a duet.

I am so so happy they picked this as a single that I don't care how they choose to perform it, I think there have been worse songs that were turned into duets, so if that happens I am fine with it. Also, I unfortunately did not make it to the Tour ( :'( ) but have watched a few videos on YT of her performing this song that if they just choose to do that as she did it on Tour I'll be happy. Maybe if they do it like the Tour they could release that as a live audio as well? Not sure if anyone cares for those any more, but from Carrie I would love to have it!
