It's a fantastic song! I hope it does but I won't get my hopes up.

[dunny1286]

yuck..i don't like it and i am dissapointed in picking this to be a single....these guys should be mainstream by now with great albums like rollercoaster and just a matter of time, but not as long as they sing forgetable slow songs like this!

[dunny1286]

you can listen at allaboutcountry.com..but i wouldn't recommend it!

[maverick]

Forgettable slow songs? Randy is like the king of sad, broken heart songs, this is what he does.

[kw9461]

That was ok, but it's way too rough to have any mainstream success. I wouldn't be surprised if it fails to even chart. I like the sound of the song, but it's far from RRB's best.

well said KW...every single song on "Just a Matter of time" is far better than this horrible single, this album will not be coming out in september!

Honestly, I don't think Mercury gives a crap what this does at radio. The RRB has a big enough fan base to get them the sales they want, I would think (considering they are still on the label).

[zaclord]

yeah, since they made a release date for the album before the single was even announced, i don't think Mercury cares how well this does on radio. they will release this album regardless.

[dunny1286]

yea, i don't think mercury cares much for quality anymore either...that's evident in the new Sugarland album and Billy Currington single. These artists could do such more under a different label and one that cares about album sales!

[zaclord]

i think Sugarland's new album is fantastic. but i agree about Billy Currington

just as i expected, i just listened to this whole new album and its trash...the only half decent song that i cared for or would ever want to hear again was "Never Be That High Again" very disapponting after being such a fan the albums Rollercoaster and Just a matter of time!

The cd debuts at #3 on the country albums chart and #29 on the billboard 200! I know it was a slow week release wise for country, but still VERY impressive for a group that hasnt even scored a billboard top 40 country single yet (Kiss me In the Dark peaked at #40 on Mediabase). Texas country has had 2 impresssive debut showings the last 2 weeks (Eli Young Band's "Jet Black and Jealous" debuted at #5 (country albums) and #30 (billboard 200) last week)

This song used a nice weekend push to somewhat surprisingly sneak into the T60 this week. The song hadn't really been going anywhere the past month, but finally made a move this week. I'm not sure the song will make it past the T50, but I still like it, and it's a lot better than having another Chesney album cut on the chart. I'm amazed that even after signing with Mercury, they've yet to match the success of Tonight's Not The Night (#43). I think alot of that has to do with poor single choices on Mercury's part, but I think it also says something about what TNTN could've done with major label support. I really like these guys, and I like that they haven't strayed too far from their Texas roots despite signing with a major label. I hope this continues to gain for them.
