Oh and when they played it on one of my stations today, the chick at the radio station came on after the song with "And that was Gloriana with their debut single."

Well, that's nothing compared to what the host of the only country music program in Spain said a couple of weeks ago....

According to him, this is the first single (???) from their second album, which is already available in the stores (??????), and one of the members of the band is Cheyenne Kimball (???????????). He actually talked a lot about her and how he had a solo career before Gloriana and all that, but never metioned she's not in the band anymore.

I shouldn't complain anyway. That's the only guy who plays some country music here and he's been doing it for 40 years now.

Poor Spain. :'(

I didn't know there was a country show here in Spain. Which one is it?

2 GLORIANA (Kissed You) Good Ni... 6111 147 45.693

Praying this can make it to #1.

[carriekins]

I think this week will be very telling as to whether this will close the deal and hit #1 or not. It's been treading water for the past couple of weeks and Love and Theft have closed the AI gap to withink 400k on Mediabase. There is certainly time for both of them to hit the summit since Blake is the only current threat and is 7 million back on MB, but they need to start seeing some gains - significant gains - to get up to Kenny, and keep LNT at bay.

[Zazie]

Looks as if L&T will storm right by Gloriana. But in the current chart world, that doesn't rule Gloriana out as a potential #1. The song could match last week's small gain (under 700k on Billboard) this coming week and still post a 4 or 5 million gain next week. Maybe not, but I can't rule it out.

It's disappointing that it has gotten this far and can't seem to hold off Love and Theft which also has a very old song right now. Maybe like "Dancing Away with My Heart" by Lady A, it's just not exciting enough or upbeat enough for #1.

[Deleted]

^Nah, the Gloriana song is doing a LOT better than the Lady A song. For Gloriana, this is a career hit, while the Lady A song moved awfully slow for their standards. We can't really compare the two--sure, the Gloriana song is even older than the Lady A song, but they are much less established as well.

If this can't get to #1, the only reason why would be poor timing. The Chesney song sits at #1 after just 11 weeks and may stick around a bit longer. At one point, it seemed like maybe Warner Bros. tried to keep Gloriana in contention with both Dierks and Kenny, but they fell back a bit, not quite matching the pace. And now the Love & Theft song is just red hot...they released their album last week, Gloriana's comes out this week. It really might be that only 1 of the 2 old songs can hit #1 and again, it just seems like the timing is a little off. Gloriana could still hit #1 but their window of opportunity isn't a very good one, while it certainly looks like Love & Theft have a bigger window.

[Cody Wants Out...]

I'm thinking that maybe this can make it to #1 on MB or BB, but not both. I think this has made it too far just to fizzle out at #2. Regardless of it's final peak, this is definitely their breakthrough hit and I'm positive that I'll enjoy it for the rest of this summer since I've heard it a few times a day on the radio. I hope they can become a radio staple and score at least consistent top 10 hits.

My comparision is strictly based on songs and not Artists. Both songs are similiar in that they are not up-tempo and they have love themes. I like the Love and Theft song as well but not sure it's worthy of a #1 moreso than the Gloriana song.

[Deleted]

^Personally, the comparison still doesn't work for me. The Gloriana song has been a consistent force on radio, while the Lady A song moved up sluggishly. Of course, their song's chart run was only about half as long as Gloriana's, but once the 2 songs were inside the top 15 or so, the Gloriana song has definitely done better.

And even if both songs were to wind up with #2 peaks, the Gloriana song is gonna get a LOT more airplay in the future--I'm confident it will get a lot more airplay than the Lady A song. Gloriana's tune has sold a lot better, too, and already feels like a MUCH bigger hit to me than Lady A's DAWMH did.

I guess my point is that not many songs that make it to the top 3 are missing #1. Of the ones that have... Lady A's song and this song are similiar. This song may seem like a bigger hit to you, and I agree it is to Gloriana, but the Lady A song has sold similiar numbers...both are approaching or over 600,000 downloads last I saw.

[Deleted]

^And I agree that most songs that usually get this far hit #1 (lately, anyway), but my point is that Gloriana has come across an unfortunate case where it doesn't look like their window to #1 is nearly as good as most other songs that have been in the #2 position recently.

As far as sales go, the Gloriana song has still been selling a LOT more. Plus, this is Gloriana we're talking about...they're not nearly as big of a group as Lady A is. Lady A peaked at #46 on the Hot 100 with DAWMH and Gloriana has gotten up to #36 so far. The Lady A song is just over 600k in downloads but obviously not selling much anymore, since it peaked quite some time ago. It's way down at #113 on the country iTunes chart now, and many of their past singles--including "Need You Now", "Just A Kiss", and even "We Owned The Night" are outselling it (as well as current single "Wanted You More"). Gloriana is at 640k sold but still selling about 40k a week, and will still be doing probably at least 25-30k a week in another month or so as the song is sliding down the chart. I think Gloriana could get close to Platinum with this song, while Lady A's DAWMH will slowly trickle toward 700k or so. Not a huge difference, I guess, but the Gloriana song has just been a much more steady presence.

[dodgertown2012]

15 to 20 years ago,( Kissed You) Goodnight wouldn't stand a chance at #1, the way the charts were back then and Come Over would spend 5 weeks at #1 for Kenny if this were, let's say 2003 when there were often songs spending multiple weeks at #1. However, most of the songs that peaked at #2 on the country singles charts during the 1990's would have easily gone #1 and any song that peaked in the top 5 from 1999 to 2007(when there were a lot of songs spending up to 7 weeks at #1) would have gone #1 as well, if the chart pattern was the same back then like it is these days. I still think Gloriana will score their first #1 with this in a week or two. We shall see.

[Zazie]

After a couple of days, this looks like the best 3-way race for #1 the country chart has seen in years. Right now I'd guess Kenny will hold on for a second week at Billboard, but I can't be very confident that will hold up -- plus there is the translation factor since our daily updates come from MB.

And I wouldn't bet much on the MB outcome either. If we had access to the points totals, it would be easier to figure.

Probably Kenny is getting ready to start losing audience in a day or two, but if his losses are small he can still hold on. If he looks like losing 1.5 to 2 million impressions on MB, he will probably fall.

And Love & Theft finally slowed down today, so it's not clear they will go up ahead of Gloriana. Good luck, fans.

[Deleted]

I guess what I should've said about the Gloriana song's chances at #1 is that, normally, they would be good. I don't think the ballad nature of this song has anything to do with it potentially getting blocked at #2. The reason that may happen is because there's an 11-week old Chesney song sitting at #1, selling like hotcakes (he's keeping up with the new young guns like Aldean & Bryan), and it's set the bar high, with an audience total of about 38.5 million, and showing no signs of dropping just yet. He looks like he's leveling off, which is what you'd expect, but then the problem for Gloriana is that they're a full 4 million behind, and their song is 41 weeks old.

To make things worse (for Gloriana, that is), is that we have Love & Theft at #3, only 1.1 million behind Gloriana on Monday's 8/11 BB chart. And their ascent looks better timed, so that 2 moderate weeks could get them to #1, assuming Chesney can't get a 3rd week (and I don't think he will). Right now, I feel like Chesney gets this week--a 2nd and final week at #1. And then I think that Love & Theft will take over, because their ascent was just timed better (and there's really no way anyone can know that) and that has resulted in a better window/route to #1, or at least that's how it currently appears to my eyes.

So in the end, I don't think it's that this song is a ballad, because really, it's heading for 35-36 million as a peak audience, and most of the time, about 36 million is good enough for #1. It's just that Chesney's song sprinted to the top in just 11 weeks and it wouldn't make sense for Columbia to let that one go just yet.

[joey2002]

This one just hasn't been tearing up the charts lately. It really isn't even close to "Come Over" yet (4.5 million back on Mediabase) and "Angel Eyes" finally caught up after charging at full speed for weeks. Maybe they've got one last push in them, but they'll need to start gaining audience faster if they want a shot at #1. (or they'll just keep getting passed)

No.1 - Gloriana (Kissed You) Good Night

+1597 Luke Bryan Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye

This makes me VERY HAPPY!!

[Mike]

After 275 days of being in the top 50 (over 75% of a year), this song has reached #1. Anyone know what the record is for longest ascent to the top?

I would say David Nail featuring Sarah Buxton for "Let It Rain" which was released in Feb 2011 but hit #1 in Jan 2012 in it's 49th week on the charts.

Now some may say Chris Young's "Voices" which was originally released in 2008 and had a chart run itself at the time. It was rereleased in 2010 again and then peaked at #1 in it's supposed 51th week on the charts. I would go with David on this one for longest trek to #1 on the charts.

[dajire4]

Wasn't it David Nail, who took like a year or so to get there? Chris Young managed 50 something weeks in two split runs I think

[Marv]

David Nail is indeed the record-holder, having broken the previous record of 41 weeks set by the out & out wonderful 'Find Out Who Your Friends Are' by Tracy Lawrence in 2007.

I'm delighted that this has reached #1 at Mediabase, and hopefully it'll do likewise at Billboard, where it's shaping up to finish the year weel inside the top ten.

Hate to burst your bubble (and the bubbles of the posters below), but this song isn't #1. It was #1 on Mediabase for a few days, I think, but the week didn't end 'til today and, lo and behold, we find Gloriana #2 on Mediabase today, behind Love & Theft. The 2 were so close, and this is the first time in what feels like forever that we've had an actual race for #1, rather than the everyone-take-your-turn- approach that we've seen for months now.

And what bigfan101 posted was the Billboard RTT...and I think y'all got ahead of yourselves. Earlier in the week, Gloriana was tracking #1 but it appears Love & Theft will be #1 on tomorrow's Billboard chart as well. Can Gloriana finish next week at #1? Maybe. I've been thinking they may get stuck at #2, since it seems that they've really pushed this song the last 2-3 weeks, only to not have a clear shot at #1. But they've come this far...can they manage one more bullet? I don't see Love & Theft getting another week at the top. More than likely, they'll start falling on Tuesday morning's Mediabase update, and fall more quickly by the day. Little Big Town is the big threat in the top 5, but they are probably 2 weeks away from #1.

That leaves Warner Bros. (Gloriana's label) in a tight spot. Do they try for one more bullet for this song, or push their labelmate Blake? Naturally, I think they'd both get a week at #1 but when you consider LBT right there...if they hold off on pushing Blake until about a week from now, he could be in jeopardy of being passed by Little Big Town. But maybe there is room for Gloriana and Blake to each have a week (9/1 & 9/8) charts and LBT would then hit #1 three weeks from today. Should be interesting to see it all play out.

[someguy]

I think we'll see this one end up peaking at #2. Blake has a really good chance at getting 5 #1s from an album with the right next single, and so I would think that the label would aim for that over pushing this for yet another week. I could easily be wrong though, but with the push that this has had for the last couple of weeks, I think the label will be likely to move on next week.

That's a shame, but even though it came all this way and may come up short, it is still a very big success, and will serve Gloriana well with their follow-up single(s) and they may just pick up a No. 1 with their next release. After several years of stalling out in the 30s with their singles, and with only one Top 20 hit under their belt, this has done more than enough by just making the Top 10 alone. So, I'm a pretty happy fan.

[Marv]

It would also appear to be a mortal lock to finish in the year-end top ten at Billboard as well as at Country Aircheck/Mediabase.

Works for me!

[layne]

It's pretty disappointing to not be able to make it to #1. This probably exceeded expectations but to lose out to "Angel Eyes" in the end is a bummer.
