Ok, "Love Wins" was sent to country radio Sept. 11th (with Sept 17th as official adds date but this usually doesn't matter for a Carrie single) and it still isn't in the top 50. It sneaked in for 1 day last week and hasn't come back since. Take note that the #50 song has just 739 spins and 2.732M AIs. This is NOT the typical movement for a Carrie single on country radio. Usually, when one single becomes recurrent, the next single comes flying up and only slows down when going for the top 10/5/1. This is still album release time and LW has been performed on Ellen and Fallon. LW isn't even in the top 100 iTunes all-genre songs. It's currently #154.
I'm not posting from the doom-and-gloom angle but more from the there-are-soooo-many-singleworthy-songs-on-the-album angle. At what point does the label consider that LW is not clicking with country radio & the general public and consider sending out Drinking Alone/Low/That Song/Backsliding?

Just finished the live stream. I’m such a proud fan right now. Isaiah is adorable! If I was hearing that correctly, he was saying “cheeeeese” the entire time he was smiling for the cameras. What a cutie pie!

She had a viral infection that caused vertigo. She couldn't stand and was in the hospital. Yes, I know that but the concerts were cancelled like 4 or 5 days in advance. If it was just vertigo with no other medical history, they couldn't have known she would stay in the hospital long, etc. I mean, I don't want to belabor my point other than to say, knowing about these miscarriages, they were surely taking extra precaution and any illness is scary. As for trolls, don't even search Carrie's name on Twitter unless you're also prepared to see unbelievably heartless reactions. There's a lot of support but there are also comments that I don't even want to believe come from human beings.

Three miscarriages, I can't even imagine. So heartbreaking. "Low" will have new meaning for me now too when I listen to it. And "Kingdom" will sound even more triumphant. No wonder also that they cancelled the UK concerts immediately. I was wondering what illness necessitated cancellation days in advance. That must have been such a big scare too. I'm still processing... wow. I'm in awe of her faith, courage and work ethic. Hoping with all my might that all continues to go well with this baby.

However those numbers break down, they are still great. I'm very pleased. I honestly didn't know what to expect. Her only major TV appearance so far has been Fallon; no single in the top 30 on country radio; no major radio hit since I-don't-even-know-anymore; and her tour doesn't start until May 2019 so I would assume only superfans have bought tickets so far. Even I haven't bought tickets because it's always a major expense for me with having to fly over from the Philippines and I don't want to spend that much yet for a concert over a year from now. And yes, 13+ years into her career! My gawd, we're old! We grew old(er) with Carrie *tears up*

Wrote a long-ass post using my tablet and it disappeared/refreshed before I could post. Arg!!! Anyway, make sure to catch Carrie’s InstaLive before it disappears and watch her Bobby Bones interview. 90% of the vocals on Spinning Bottles are from the day they wrote the song! Amazing!

WOW at Spinning Bottles. The lyrics, vocals, production gave me goosebumps from that snippet alone. Woooow, Carrie!

End Up With You is my fave of the 3 songs released so far. Cry Pretty is her most honest and vulnerable song and I’m glad she had the courage to release it but it burned out on me pretty quickly. I’ve lived a complicated life and have encountered so many evil people for Love Wins to truly make an impact on me but I respect her beliefs and hopes. EUWY is just a great bop and it makes for a happy listen. What I do love about all these songs is that her voice doesn’t get drowned out. I agree with the comments that say her voice is at the forefront on this album based on what I’ve heard so far... so great job on the mix there.
