^The problem is, for about six months in a row, we've had 58/60 of the chart bulleted. Why doesn't anyone wanna drop?

^The problem is, for about six months in a row, we've had 58/60 of the chart bulleted. Why doesn't anyone wanna drop? Cause radio insists on playing the same 15 or 20 songs ten times a day for months in a row before they let a particular song out of their clinched fists. I hate how long songs take to chart now. It makes radio unbareable to listen to, thats why I have switched to making my own mixed CDs of songs I wanna listen to. I gave up years ago on trying to requests songs cause they play what they wanna play from their own lists. They don't care what the listeners want anymore. Those song surveys radio sends out are a joke too. Its been years since PDs and DJs actually cared what their fans/listeners want to hear.

Maybe I'm just used to smaller town stations. My station of choice (WATZ) plays all sorts of good stuff and I don't think they've ever played any song more than 3-4 times a day. WKJC has gabby DJs, absurdly long commercial breaks and sped-up songs, but they still play a lot of stuff you won't hear elsewhere. Even WBCT 4 hours away in Grand Rapids, a station that's on the Billboard panel, is really loose with the playlist and very open with requests.

I know large city stations overplay songs to death, at least the ones I've heard. Lord knows both the stations here in Charlotte do. I loved those stations growing up, but today I can't take listening to either one. If I do I'll hear the same songs on the way to work, at work, and on the way home. Listening to radio makes me stop liking songs I used to cause I get tired of them over and over multiple times a day. Radio defines the old saying "there can be too much of a good thing" when it comes to certain songs. And then when those songs are overplayed, the ones that need to get spins more never get them or they come way too long after their release.

^ Still has nothing on the Top 40 station my sister listened to. I could hear five songs on the way TO church, and hear four of the same five on the way back only an hour later.

This one's still hanging on by a thread. It's not done yet, but unfortunately didn't get any adds again this week, along with fellow slow-movers Eden's Edge and James Wesley.
I think this has the potential to rise up some more but it can't hang out around 6.2 million AI's forever. It will need to pick up some more station adds pretty soon, otherwise it could indeed fade.

This lost around 0.180 AI last night...ouch. It'll pick back up hopefully. I really hope they release the video soon; otherwise, this may become her lowest-peaking single. As I might've said before, it's too good to peak this low. :(

I have a lot of hope for this song.

^ I thought MMFILA peaked at #28?
I've decided to put a part of this song's chorus as my FB status just now and I don't think many of my friends know that I got it from this song.

As I might've said before, it's too good to peak this low. :( I agree that the morning update was not what Pickler fans would want to see. However, I'm not putting hardly any stock into it. Most songs gained very little today...but in the chart region where "Tough" is, almost everyone lost audience...every song from #28 on Mediabase (Alan Jackson) through #42 (Montgomery Gentry) lost audience, with the only exceptions being the Zac Brown Band and Luke Bryan, and also Martina who only posted a very tiny gain. Other songs higher up posted small drops too, including Thompson Square, Darius Rucker, Miranda Lambert, and Billy Currington. So it seems that something could've affected the numbers...I don't think Mondays would normally be this slow, even in an extreme case. Maybe a small panel adjustment, or something else, could've caused all these songs to see small drops.

The music video will shine a light on Kellie's relationship with her father. :)

I love the video! Incorporating Pickler's own father-to-daughter storyline into the video not only made sense with the song's theme, but it was a nifty idea and well-executed.
I'm glad this is finally out now, and hopefully her single can get some TLC on the country charts now!

In my honest opinion, it's the best Country video I've seen throughout the entire year of 2011 thus far. I think it was pieced together wonderfully, Kellie looked great, the storyline is totally fitting to the theme of the song, and everything works.
I just love everything about it.

Kellie will also be performing "Tough" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tuesday, October 4, 2011: Kellie Pickler - Tuesday, October 4, 2011 It's a very exciting day! Today Ellen's third book, "Seriously... I'm Kidding," hits bookshelves -- and she's celebrating all day long with some of her favorite people! The bubbly and hilarious KELLIE PICKLER will be here! You never know what will happen when Kellie's here. She's interviewed people on the red carpet and sat on Clint Eastwood's lap. Whatever she's doing, it's always must-see TV. She'll also be performing her hit new song, "Tough." Then, the star of the hit show "Community," JOEL McHALE will be here to make Ellen laugh and tell us about the exciting new season of his hysterical show. Ellen's having a party this Tuesday, and you're invited! Read more: ellen.warnerbros.com/promos/#ixzz1ZNFobii7

I echo what has been said above. Ellen's best shows are the ones when Kellie Pickler is there. Together they are an absolutely unbeatable combo for funny.

It's my favorite release of hers, but it lost 298k this week on Billboard and fell 30-34 on this week's chart. The spins loss was very small so it could rally, but I'm not expecting that. I'll go along with the hope that the TV appearance gains her some momentum.

The best way I can spin it is to note that her drop this week was because she had slipped from #30 to #31 on Mediabase, and thus lost the airplay from Lon Helton's top 30 countdown--it aired this weekend and "Tough" fell out of the top 30, so that's a blow right there. She had been positive (with a small audience gain) all week until the Sunday numbers were tabulated.
But still, there really isn't anything saying this will pick up either. It got just 1 add this week, and it's just competing with too much--Chris Young, Luke Bryan...they're the faster movers, plus Martina is picking up the pace while Justin Moore, James Wesley, Sara Evans, Eden's Edge, Alan Jackson, and Joe Nichols are all moving very slowly in the same region of the chart. Everyone is fighting, it seems...but Kellie's been at it for quite some time and I just don't know how much longer they'll stick with this, since it keeps falling out of the top 30 and can't gain any traction. Some songs just get lost in the shuffle and I'm afraid this one's fate doesn't look too good...

I wasn't gonna say anything unless the AI losses were like yesterday's for the rest of the week. Sadly, I'm gonna have to give up on hoping to see this turn around and become a hit for her. Something should've already happened by now. At this point, it's do or die, imo.
I actually had a dream about a month ago that Kellie rush-released another single since she saw how this was struggling. If nothing happens this week, then that would be the best thing to do; stick a fork in this and send something else out.

I'm starting to think "Tough" is going to be the equivalent to Miranda's "Dead Flowers", and the true gems are on the way. It's just such a shame that Kellie has been away from country radio for so long. You would figure they would jump all over her new material.

Like someone said above, this could be the "Dead Flowers" of this album. You never know. It just seems there's more hype this time around than the first two, or at least the second album. It really just takes one big hit and you're good nowadays. One top 5 or #1 could start a string of big hits for her.
