Goes for Hot AC adds March 20th, according to FMQB. I have no idea how this will do, but I love the song. Here's hoping for the best.  Sophie Muller is directing the video. |

This song is my favorite Chicks song.
Hopefully HAC will give them a chance.

I can't necessarily flat out say politics is going to keep this from making any real impact, since "Holiday" by Green Day made the Top 10 here (even if the controversial bridge was cut out from the radio version.)
This is definitely an interesting lead single choice, however. It's indeed pretty radio-friendly, but the real question is: Will that be enough?
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

I saw that no Dixie Chicks' single is going for adds on Country radio anytime soon. Does this mean that the Dixie Chicks will be shunned from Country radio permanently? Let's face it - that is where they (used to?) belong primarily.

Or maybe they didn't bother. |

I don't think they're bothering with it, at least not with this single. But if they were to send it to Country radio, they probably won't play it.

This is KILLER! The lyrics are PERFECT for the whole situation last year.
Go Dixie Chicks!

Heard this on US99.5, Chicago Country on my way home from the city today!! :) Looks like country radio won't be so hesitant.
But WOW the song is great. The clip doesn't do it justice. Natalie's vocals are fantastic.

It's funny to me how Country is playing this when it is so obviously about the "incident".

While it's not doing anything huge, it's #74 with 34 spins after a couple days of airplay max. I'm pretty sure that's nearly "I Hope"'s peak spin total, and that went for adds at country.

There's an article in the Country forum about this single shipping to the 3 Nashville Country stations. I don't know if it's going to be a national thing with the single going to all stations, I guess we'll see. Maybe they're testing the waters.

I heard the single on Sirius' New country station yesterday afternoon. I really like it and hope it charts on both Hot AC and Country

A few stations have played it, and they've shipped to several Nashville stations.

I don't see the track among the Top 20 Gainers, I don't see it under Taking Off, I fail to see how Counry is really playing this. The song is currently #53 on the country chart and has been getting adds from a lot of markets like Chicago, Los Angeles, and even stations in Dallas and Nashville. Perhaps the Chicks have made their way back into country radio, even if in a diminished capacity? |

This song is much more tailored to Hot AC than it is country (style of song, not lyrics). I think it should make the Top 10 here.

Country is down to +30 as of now. Looks like it may have stalled, but at least they cracked the top 40!
