I like the softer sound of this. Their debut had good songs but way too much production. "Wanna Take You Home" was a bit less bombastic as well, so I think these two songs are a sign of things to come.

yes! it finally outpeaked both Wanna Take You Home and How Far Do You Wanna Go. I'm rooting too for a top 20 hit.

It took awhile to "really" grow on me, but I love this song now. It sounds like such a big hit, and I'm expecting it to be just that in due time.

Here's a "special Valentine's Day acoustic version" of the song:

I am really pulling for this song. I liked some of their first album and liked Wanna Take You home but I think this is their best song yet.
I also gotta say, and while I like both songs, I feel this song is way better than Lady Antebellum's Just A Kiss and with that being number one wish this had the chance to do the same though I don't see that happening, would like to be wrong though

I just heard this song for the first time and I think it's great. I loved both of their first two singles especially "Wild at Heart" but I think I'll eventually like this one more, so I hope it does well!

This is having another really good week. Its bullet is now up to 100, and it should move into the top 30 on Billboard. It held in there long enough that it's finally starting to catch on.

^ I hope it can keep it up. Would love for them to get this in the top 20 at least.

^^ I have high hopes for this song. Saw them at my radio station's sponsored concert last weekend, along with The Farm (great sound-I'm a new fan), Andy Gibson and Brent Anderson (not so much- dime a dozen) and they seemed confident- asked the crowd if they thought this song would go all the way to #1. I think it can.
Only complaint about their performance- Too many covers for short set; they need to showcase more of their own music.

I was hoping to see this make the top 20. It's getting close but I'm wondering if it will have enough steam to do it? I noticed that not one single radio station owned by Cumulus has added or played this song except for the countdown spins. Wonder what the problem with Cumulus owned stations is with this song or label?

^It is a load of bologna. This song is now on 108 stations on the Mediabase panel, and I'd bet that most of the 31 remaining are Cumulus stations. I've noticed that many Cumulus stations were incredibly late to jump on board with Lee Brice's "A Woman Like You" as well, and right about the time that that song took off on the chart was when all the Cumulus stations added it. Hmm......
Anyway, I do think this will make the top 20 yet, and then some. I don't think they're anywhere near done with this yet. I think it will continue to have a slower, but steady and strong run up into the top 20 and beyond. The Cumulus stations will have to start playing this soon...it's getting higher on the chart and its sales are pretty good. This will be a big enough hit that their album should come out sometime late this spring/early this summer.

This will be a big enough hit that their album should come out sometime late this spring/early this summer. Cumulus requires "Adds" to be administered through the central office. While Clear Channel and other stations do similar things, they send out suggested lists. It's all part of Cumulus' game plan. I'd bet they add the song once it hits Top 20 OR Top 5 at digital retail, whatever happens first. They had to add Lee and Kip Moore when the singles hit the Top 5 digital sellers for more than one week. Told them that fans liked the songs. |

^No, I understand how that works. But it doesn't change what I said. Cumulus not adding certain songs just because they're not "this" or "that" is bologna.

Maybe some of the Cumulus stations have finally started playing this. Something's going on, anyway--if it's not spins on those Cumulus stations, then a bunch of other stations must be really bumping this one up in airplay. This one's up a big 1.62 million in the last 4 days, and could wind up gaining 2.5 million on Billboard or so. It looks like it could re-pass Toby Keith's "Beers Ago", at least for now. And with Jake Owen's "Alone With You" set to go recurrent, that'd get Gloriana up to #19.
I can't see any way that this won't become their 2nd top 20 hit on Monday. Sales are picking up for this too. It is selling better than most other songs with similar airplay levels.

My prediction is top 10 at least. It has really started to take off -even though they aren't A listers, it was released two months after Casey James song-(which appears like its really being pushed by the label with ads and album release) it has leap frogged that one easily). And to pass up Toby Keith after his recent success is pretty good.
And even when it was lower on the chart it sold well.

Although I find this group kinda poppy for a country band, I like their sound. They had some missed opportunities from their debut ("The Way It Goes" and "Lead Me On" to name a couple). This song is a grower for me, but I'm starting to like it and am also glad they're seeing success again.

Would love to see this peak at least as High as "Wild At Heart" did which I think was a #15 peak.

I noticed the Cumulus owned stations are still holding out on adding this song. They did however all add the Kelly Clarkson song today. I guess you have to be a A-list performer for Cumulus to finally play your song. In any event, I guess the gain in AI's was due to the stations that are playing it picking up the pace on spins.

It's only a matter of time 'til they add this song. A bad week could send this recurrent, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I think it will continue on like it has--a slower, steady rise up through the top 20.

I think it will continue on like it has--a slower, steady rise up through the top 20. Exactly, like you said a bad week and it's done. I hate to think the hold out of that block of stations keeps this song from going much higher. That would really put a bad taste in my mouth. |

But if you look, almost all of the Cumulus stations have started playing the song - only a couple of times each last week, admittedly, but they *are* starting to play it.
In the end, isn't a station playing a song without an add still better than no add and no spins?

^There's not a single Cumulus station that has added this. The only spins its getting from those stations are syndicated overnight show spins and countdown spins. The PD's at those stations haven't programmed the song into their weekly playlists yet, because some lame guy at Cumulus headquarters thinks that, for some reason, they shouldn't play this song.
And layne, I'm not worried about this song nosediving anytime soon. It's been showing nothing but good signs for a while now.

I didn't even take into account the syndicated spins. Good callout.
Okay. Boo Cumulus! *shakes fist* ;)

There are 15 Stations on Mediabase that have yet to add this song. 12 of the 15 are Cumulus owned stations. If those stations do not add, I don't see this song being able to make it much longer or get any higher than #15. The song has been in the top 15 on itunes Country chart for about a month now.

^The Cumulus stations will add it soon. I'm sure Warner Music Nashville is probably pressuring them. I know we've been saying "soon" for a while now in regards to the Cumulus stations, but this song has quite a bit of life left in it and it will keep going. Cumulus will be forced to get on board.

Cumulus has a history of doing stuff like this. They're very 'tight' with their playlists and somewhat control them from a corporate list of 'ok' songs to add to rotations. |

I'm a little surprised an official release date for the album hasn't been listed yet.
