Upcoming Singles

[.indulgecountry]

If Cole Swindell recruited Lainey Wilson for his next single, then it's already the best thing he's ever recorded.

His voice is so vanilla and boring but her's is anything but. The snippet of the production sounded promising too. Can't wait to hear it.

[raylatch98]

As someone who likes both vocalists I am kind of excited for this duet. I have always thought Cole Swindell is underrated and Lainey Wilson's voice is very unique and great.

I’ve always been a fan of most of his stuff, but I could actually see this one doing well for him at radio. Good song. 

[raylatch98]

So I am assuming there are no more big releases for the rest of the year for radio adds as the only singles left are Lee Brice and Walker Hayes with "Soul" and "AA" respectively.

With that being said I suspect Q1 (January-March) in 2022 is gonna be rifled with new releases for radio. I imagine big names like Carrie Underwood, Old Dominion, Maren Morris, Luke Combs, Lady A, and Jason Aldean with Little Big Town as a possibility will have new singles or second singles to recently released albums. I also would expect Ryan Hurd to release a song off his new album same with Zac Brown Band and Elvie Shane. Not to mention less established names like Matt Stell, Maddie & Tae, Brett Eldredge, Riley Green, and Ingrid Andress all looking to recapture past momentum and I imagine at least a few of them will have something soon.

That's not even factoring new artists as I am like 99% sure UMG Nashville is gonna launch Catie Offerman next year to radio in addition to other new acts.

I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them send a single out in December. There usually is a few each year. Getting a head start on other releases isn't a bad idea.

Well they only have 2 more add dates to work with (11/29 and 12/6) so if they want an add date they better hurry up and announce because there isn't a lot of dates left.

12/13 is an add date according to the new Chayce Beckham single...?

Shit, I didn't even see that thread. 

Disregard everything I have ever said in this thread tonight.

Best guess would be giving a life of it's own on SiriusXm before sending it to radio.

About damn time! This makes me so happy. I was really worried they might actually be dumb enough to squander what is an easy and obvious smash hit. Glad they are finally pulling the trigger on this one before it's too late.

It was mentioned on here that Sam's label may not have wanted to push a drinking song so close to his DWI.

[castleoblivion26]

so excited to see "Wishful Drinking" finally be released. I love this song so much!

[Darkest Hour]

It seems the next ZBB single is Out in the Middle, as it is added to Apple Music Today's Country playlist.

[bigfan101]

Did a RadioTraks for Roman Alexander, did he sign somewhere? The survey said new Country artist for his next single.

Song 1 - Guys Like Me
Song 2 - Over Me
Song 3 - Bourbon Street

Guys Like Me is probably my favorite, but his voice is awesome and all of the songs sounded like hits.

Here is his latest effort:

[Darkest Hour]

According to Grady Smith's Instagram limited time post, the next Morgan Wallen single is Wasted On You.

That's odd because "Sand In My Boots" still has plenty of life left in it. I assume they aren't giving that song up though

[.indulgecountry]

"Wasted on You" has already been massive without radio. I wouldn't be surprised if that song were indeed next because it seems like it has huge potential. That said, it wouldn't make my top half for songs from his album and I'd rather they play something else.

Yeah, I also think he got some potentials. I enjoyed his collaboration with Alana Springsteen called Trying Not To, and for his solo materials, Better in a Car and Between You and Me are my favs. Will be nice to see him on the mainstream radio scene.

Yeah same, there are a solid 10 hits from that album but the current single and especially Wasted seem to be smash tier

[Troublemaker]

Did a RadioTraks survey for Brantley Gilbert.

Song 1 "Behind The Times"
Song 2 "Miles Of Memories"
Song 3 "So Help Me God"
Song 4 "All Over The Map"

Honestly apart from song 2, every other song was tolerable. The survey said country superstar, oh my…

"Miles of Memories" was the only one I kinda liked. The others were just there for me. Wouldn't go out of my way to listen to any of these.

Just did the survey as well. Wish he would release “How To Talk To Girls” as a radio single.

So in terms of new music expected to come out in Q1 via the Year End Country Aircheck PDF this is what I got listed out (link for anyone who hasn't read it yet issuu.com/countryaircheck/docs/cap122021smaller?fr=sYWM2NTQzNzYwNjU.

1. New music soon from Ryan Hurd and Adam Doleac (don't know if that means impacting though as it doesn't mention radio)
2. Big Machine plans to launch Jackson Dean on a radio tour in January as his debut single "Don't Come Lookin'" impacts on February 22 (shipped January 24th)
3. New music from Kelsea Ballerini in March or April.
4. Lady A "What A Song Can Do" is supposed to be already impacting radio (it isn't) so I imagine that is impacting radio like real early in the year.
5. Jason Aldean will have a single impact radio from the second half of his album Georgia in January.
6. Jon Pardi will have a new lead single in Q1 once "Tequila Little Time" peaks.
7. Darius Rucker is expected to have new music in Q1 along with Little Big Town.
8. New lead Maren Morris single expected to be released January 7th and impact January 10th
9. New music from Kip Moore in January, and MCA is set to introduce Kassi Ashton to radio in early 2022. 
10. Priscilla Block's next single is called "My Bar" and is expected to be released January 14th (probably impact date would be late January early February.)
11. New music from Caitlyn Smith as well in January
12. Triple Tigers will release an EP from new artist Jordan Fletcher and might introduce him to radio
13. Eli Young Band is expected to have new music and a song in radio in Feburary and Valory also plans to introduce new signee Tiera as well to country music.
14. Gabby Barrett will have a single released from the deluxe version of her debut album.
15. Kenny Chesney's next single is called "Everyone She Knows" expected to impact Feburary 14th
16. Elvie Shane is expected to have a new radio single from his debut album very soon

If there's anything I miss please tell me. 

[rowdawg21]

Glad to hear Kenny is releasing "Everyone She Knows"! Figured he would be moving on to new music after "Knowing You".

[raylatch98]

One thing that does shock me is that there's no news on new Carrie Underwood music, with how long it's been since "Drinking Alone" peaked I figured she would have new music ready to go for country radio  (I know she has released a Christmas and Gospel album since then but I figured she would have regular music ready to go). 

[stanches2318]

i'm still waiting on the new Danielle Bradbery and Maren Morris projects. Maybe in 2022 Bradbery will hopefully be played on the radio

There is an ad in the year end edition stating Clay Walker is releasing next single "Catching Up With An 'Ol Memory" with Show Dog Nashville ad that also features Toby Keith and a new artist.
