^^ Epic. I can't even begin to express how excited I am for this video. It had better sweep the awards shows, too! How can you say it should sweep awards shows when we haven't even seen the finished product?

That music video treatment is not official; it was a dream scenario thought up by a fan. Aw man! I was hoping that was true. :( Oh well, I'm sure the real video will be solid whenever it comes out.

How can you say it should sweep awards shows when we haven't even seen the finished product? He's just expressing his own excitement, not saying what should happen. It's pretty much the same as some fans claiming to love a song or be very excited about the award prospect of an album just based on reading info about the co-writers, story or production of the song/album. And we do have a very short trailer of the video. Much like people judging a song based on a short snippet.

There are songs that just increase in spins on a normal basis, even after the video is released. IMO, BA will increase at a faster pace after the video is released. It's that kind of song.

I have nothing to base this on but I've never felt like videos help the chart run of songs. I've never believed they help with sales either.

I think videos used to have much more of an effect on sales in the 90s when CMT/TNN were playing videos more than "country programming," and when artists like Shania were being innovative in music videos and pushing boundaries, leaving an impact on the viewer. I think now that videos are mostly an online medium through YouTube and CMT.com, they don't have much of an impact on sales anymore. I never thought they helped or hurt radio play.

I don't know if videos affect radio play too much, but they definitely influence sales because they get people to sometimes even download the videos from iTunes for themselves, and even if they just watch them on a video-sharing website like YouTube for free, the views on there are taken into consideration for the Hot 100 (just as sales and airplay are).

Videos DEFINITELY help sales. Many hit songs get millions of views online. And I know for a fact that some of the current charting songs got BIG boosts when the videos came out and have continued to sell at strong levels ever since. It happend for "Pontoon" and also Lee Brice's "Hard To Love" (been on the cusp of the top 10 on country iTunes). Jerrod Niemann, Jake Owen, and Greg Bates all moved up a bunch on iTunes almost immediately after their most recent videos dropped as well.
A lot of people hear their new music from online sources nowadays and of course radio is still VERY important...but fans definitely will search for favorite songs online and they can either just have audio or have both audio and video, so I think videos are big and important for sales. I do agree, however, that they have virtually no impact either way on radio airplay. If a video causes a song to really start selling well, then maybe it will get more airplay if PD's see the sales as a measure of a song's popularity, but I think otherwise the video release won't really do anything for airplay right away, until it has helped digital sales which then, in turn, may help the song's airplay.

How did Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup" sell two million downloads with only peaking at #9 on country radio. The video for it has 16 million hits, that's why.
Although I still can't fathom why anyone, let alone 2 million people would want to buy this dreadful song

Although I still can't fathom why anyone, let alone 2 million people would want to buy this dreadful songSales and airplay are two totally different creatures. A #1 song could sell 500,000 copies while a #60 song could sell in the millions. Same with CD sales. A group like the Mavericks never had a top ten hit, but had several platinum CDs to its credit. For Red Solo Cup, it was just the right song Toby Keith had at the time. I said on the thread that I was not a fan of it, but can see where a lot of people did (I did see the video on a few occasions). It is his biggest selling single, despite its #9 peak. I consider Beer For My Horses (with Willie Nelson) to be his biggest hit of all time, but that single is at the gold level.

My vote for Toby's biggest hit ever would be 'As Good As I Once Was', far and away the heaviest played song of his career.
At one point it was the second most heavily played country single ever on a SPSPW basis, exceeded only by 'Live Like You Were Dying', with 'I Go Back', 'Jesus, Take The Wheel' and 'There Goes My Life' roundfing out the top five as of May 2006.
'BFMH' wound up #2 for the year in 2003 @ R&R/Mediabase behind '19 Something', one year after the extraordinary 'My List' finished #1 for the year, also @ R&R/Mediabase.
He also had the #1 country single in the land exactly a decade ago with 'Courtesy Of The Red, White & Blue'.
I guess that the subject matter for 'Blown Away' isn't as 'controversial as I or some others had originally thought; it's moving rather nicely up the charts, and most of the format's heavyweights are already on board.

If it makes you feel better, I would place As Good As I Once Was at #2. I did rank his biggest hits and will try to find that.

You can certainly make a great case for either one; I didn't realize that 'AGAIOW' was had been played so heavily duringits chart run in 2005 until I did some serious digging regarding the unprecedented SPSPW numbers which 'Jesus Take The Wheel' racked up during its groundbreaking chart run.
Yoiu can find the thread for 'JTTW' on page 64 of this message board, with the SPSPW numbers discussion on pages 29-31 of that thread.

It took me awhile to find it. I ranked Toby Keith's #1s in August, 2011. Here is My List of the top ten. Ready? 7. THEIR TEN BIGGEST: Toby Keith just ended a major drought of top ten hits with Made In America (#9 this week). But, which ten of his nineteen chart toppers are his biggest hits? First number will be the weeks at #1 while the second will be the weeks in the top 40. 1. Beer For My Horses-with Willie Nelson-2003-6-27 2. As Good As I Once Was-2005-6-22 3. How Do You Like Me Now-2000-5-41 4. I Wanna Talk About Me-2001-5-26 5. My List-2002-5-26 6. I Love This Bar-2003-5-24 7. American Soldier-2004-4-21 8. You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This-2001-3-31 9. American Ride-2009-2-17 10. Should've Been A Cowboy-1993-2-15

Not sure if anyone had thought about this, but I wonder if this song will be pulled from radio due to the shootings in Colorado? It happened to Pam Tillis in the 90's after the Oklahoma City Bombing when her song "I Was Blown Away" was rising and could have been her biggest single ever. They pulled it based on the title alone. Since the phrase "blown away" can be associated to many things, I just wonder.

Yes, but "I Was Blown Away" was about falling in love. I think it really doesn't matter the content, just the title.

I can see the Denver markets, maybe, giving full airplay of this song a few weeks to get going. One of them already pulled *all* currents yesterday and played a very select handful of songs. So it's possible that market might be affected. On the whole, though, no. I don't see this song getting pulled across the board.

Manchs---Glad you enjoyed that thread; some of the hyperventilating on it was pretty hysterical while the song was racing up the charts. As is certainly the case today, her fans can be as over-the-top as fans of any other artist, which comes with the territory.

I've been gushing nonstop about 'Two Black Cadillac's since the CD came out, but this another unique tune that certainly doesn't sound like anything else on the radio.
I'm also delighted that they released it intact as it appeared on the CD with no editing.
