Immediately, barely after a week of release, this latest duet is already #1 in airplay gains.
Could Kenny Chesney be looking for his seventh #1 hit and giving Uncle Kracker a push into this format? Certainly this looks to be another collaboration mega-hit.
My Prediction: #1
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

Uncle Kracker is opening the Kenny Chesney/Rascal Flatts tour this summer. Apparantly he wants to follow Kid Rock into the country market.

Uncle Kracker is opening the Kenny Chesney/Rascal Flatts tour this summer. Apparantly he wants to follow Kid Rock into the country market. I could tell by all three singles from "No Stranger To Shame" that Uncle Kracker desired leaning country. "Memphis Soul Song" truly would have made a great single on Country. I am not that fond of Uncle Kracker, especially after the dreadful "Drift Away" remake, but he has a voice that would fit into this format. Not that it's a great voice in all, but one that is easy listening to this format. Perhaps Kid Rock can start-up a whole new format: Metal Country. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

I like this song a lot. It's pretty simple, nothing too complex about the lyrics or anything, but it's a fun song to listen to (especially in -35 degree weather!). It's the greatest gainer at country, with a bullet more than triple that of the second greatest gainer. It should be #1 for at least 5 weeks.

This could be the worst song i have heard in years. It's a rip off of Follw Me, not in the lyrics but in the structure of the song. Sing the chorus to follow me during the chorus of When the Sun Goes Down and it fits perfectly. Can someone tell me who wrote the song? I hope there are no more beach type songs on this album because if there are he should go to Jamaican music. This will be his third beach sounding song in two years if you count the Christmas song. While i was growing fonder of Kenny's music this song takes that a step bacwards. I know it will be number one in about 4 weeks or so, so that shows you how important my opinion is but I think it stinks. Plus it will get run into the ground on radio and television and will be sung at every big awards show so I guess i better get used to hearing it for the next 6-8 months.

I like it, but... They should have held this song off until its warmer everywhere. Oh well, this will hit #1 in about 6 weeks, and send about 6 weeks at the top, and will ensure his album hits a million in sales by the end of February at the latest.

That's strange.
Suddenly the bullet has shrunk to +111 currently, and the single actually is currently backward-bulleted 8-9 on the chart.
Of course we saw "American Soldier" look as though it'd lose grip until it finally pushed a strong finish to the top. But now how long will it take for Chesney and Kracker to get to #1, if they do?
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton
