Goes to country radio on Monday.
All Access has the impact date listed for Monday but hasn’t yet been sent officially to country radio (has gotten early adds).

Happy to see them going ahead and giving this an adds date sooner rather than later. Radio & the general public clearly chose this as the follow-up single to "Fall in Love" and it looks to be an even bigger hit for him than that one is. Glad they aren't waiting until after FIL has peaked since it's already working its way through the 40s on the airplay chart from early interest. It's taking a page out of the CHR radio playbook where it's common for the bigger artists to have 2 (or even 3) big hits charting at once (Harry Styles, Doja Cat, Taylor Swift, etc.).
As for the song, I don't love this one as much as FIL and he has a few songs on his new EP that I prefer even more to this one as well, but it's still incredibly solid and it was 100% the unquestionably correct choice. I hope that there's a chance for "Trainwreck" or "Waiting" to be a single afterwards.

I adore this song and it is the perfect single choice. I also hope "Waiting" is after this.

Impact date is tomorrow, but with Thomas Rhett's "Half Of Me" with Riley Green and Chris Stapleton's "Joy Of My Life" both leaving the chart later today for Mediabase, "Rock And A Hard Place" debuts impressively at #40 for the weekend.

This has already been massive this year with minimal unsolicited radio play prior to its release, so I can imagine this surely shaping up to be being one of the biggest smashes of 2023. Bailey is simply on fire.

This is the newest OTV selection which I find to be really, really bizarre…

This is the newest OTV selection which I find to be really, really bizarre… I thought OTV was only for debut singles? I know there’s some instances where its not a debut single, but a lot of the times it’s because the debut single never took off or failed to chart. Aside from Bailey, was there any other country picks? Would love to see Megan Moroney get it! |

I didn't even know OTV existed anymore. Station here hasn't had it in a long time.

Yeah, when is the last song that even got an OTV treatment? I was just beginning to wonder here a few weeks back if that program had died.

This is the newest OTV selection which I find to be really, really bizarre… Yeah this is just bizarre on multiple angles since I don't think this song needed OTV selection and was gonna be a hit regardless so it pretty much makes this selection a total wash. But also why the hell is this the selection when he already had a hit that connected with radio. The closest head scratching pick OTV had with country music before was Lauren Alaina in 2016 (or Dustin Lynch especially in 2014) and I figured that iHeart got past that phase. Also there is a decent chunk of artists who would make more sense (Shane Profitt, Kolby Cooper, Kylie Morgan). Don't get me wrong I like this song, but man this feels like a total waste of a pick if so. |

Interesting, I just assumed "Rock And A Hard Place" was zooming up the charts because of the hype he has, but OTV does explain just how fast it was rising. This would've done fine without it (although it might have had a slower rise), I wish they had chosen something like "Tennessee Orange" if they wanted a buzzy song. Or "If He Wanted to He Would" or "Try Losing One" that could use the boost.

IIRC the last one was either "Things A Man Oughta Know" by Lainey Wilson or "It's 'Cause I Am" by Callista Clark. I know Jelly Roll got it, but I think it was for his rock format single that went #1 this year ("Dead Man Walking" is the name of the song I think). Hopefully we'll see more country picks in 2023 because I do know they're still doing it for other radio formats. |

Is there an article officially stating this as an OTV single? The criteria/purpose must have totally changed in its hiatus. I do really miss the way the program was able to get many artists their first #1, but lamented how for many it became their only #1. After Tenille Townes broke the "hit" streak on OTV songs, I wondered if it would remain as a program.

There’s no article that I know of yet, but I caught the voice-over intro/liner before and after the song played on WAVW and I also caught it on iHeartCountry Radio on my smart speaker. |

New single “Fix’n To Break” is really good. Hopefully it’s the next single.

Wow! Only a little over 8 weeks since impact date and this has already made it up to #8 on Country Airplay. Won't be shocked if this spends quite a few weeks at #1 and has a huge longevity on country radio.

Sorry for the double post but this song is on absolute fire, with a bullet of 1003 on Mediabase up to #3 on Mediabase, #4 on Billboard gaining 4 spots on both charts. I don't think I have seen a sophomore single go this fast in a LONG time. keep in mind this went for adds back in December. Like I said before this looks bound to be a multi week #1 easily especially given it's pace.

This is the fastest rising sophomore single since Gretchen Wilson's "Here for the Party" according to sabre14. |
