I agree with you here and unless the single speeds up, I think it won't peak until weeks 25-35. That would delay Quitter pass the awards shows hence cutting promotion. I think Quitter should be 2-3 weeks old when the ACMs come out. The single will last over the summer and maybe Shania will have the new album done by the fall and we can get the lead then. :) If "Don't!" becomes a problem with it taking too long, there is a simple solution to that problem. Go ahead and Perform "Don't!" on the ACM awards in May, at the CMT Music Awards in April...or at both award shows. It might help the song and the "Greatest Hits" album on the chart with at least a slight boost. That way they can save "I Ain't No Quitter" for the CMA awards. That might actually work out better and give Shania more time with her next album. Plus, that would allow Shania to get even more mileage out of her "Greatest Hits" album by allowing her to have two separate singles pushed at two different formats - "I Ain't No Quitter" at Country and "Don't!" at AC radio. If they play this right, the delayed take-off of "Don't!" could actually work in their favor. ...but that is only IF the situation is handled correctly.

What is really pathetic is that Gretchen Wilson's new song "homewrecker" has been out for like....a week and it is already 1 spot behind Don't! on mediabase! Just goes to show that once you become an "industry favourite" then it doesn't matter who you are or how "Country" your songs are, country radio will eat up everything you release right from the get go! (Tim Mcgraw is another a perfect example here!) GW's new song is already receiving bullets of 500+ spins and high audience impressions from being played by large markets right away......even when Don't! was first released the highest bullet it received was something around 200 and it was NOT played by large markets whatsoever, and STILL isn't! Just goes to show how biased country radio is and how much BS was written into that email from KZLA!!

Is Mercury possible of such a thing? Given their consistant gift of knowing how to screw things up, I doubt it. I keep hoping that they'll pull things together, but they keep disappointing me. Everytime they take one step forward, they go about 10 steps backward. >:( :'(

The song rises 2 to #26 on Billboard this week, and today takes a small step backward -40+ spins overnite, 200k listeners, and 2 spots to #25. :(

Don't! will appear as the theme song for a Brazilian TV show. In October, Shania will be playing 5 concerts in Brazil.

why is this song gonna flop? :( I wouldn't call it a flop, yet. Shania's singles always have ups and downs, as do most singles. I call them 'burps' or 'hiccups' because they seem to last a week or so and then the song gains again. The Top 20 is not moving. Everything from #22-#27 is always flip flopping positions. It's tough.

I really love Shania and have since the first album but I really hate I Ain't No Quitter and think it would really do bad on the charts. I wonder if they will even release it. Take off your Shania colored glasses for a few minutes and listen to the song. Some of you have argued that if someone else sang some of Shania's songs that they would be huge hits. If anyone else sang this song it would still be a bad song. I liked Party For Two and love Don't but this song is really bad. I know this will get eaten up by the Shania lovers out there but it's just my opinion.

Why do you think that? Just wondering..
I think it will do amazingingly well because Nashville will think that Shania is crawling back to her. Also, because of its traditional sound, it should do better in those southern markets that don't play the 'pop mainstream' country..

I like the song too, I think it is a great country swing song...and no I am not wearing "Shania colored glasses", I just have something called an opinion.

Some of you have argued that if someone else sang some of Shania's songs that they would be huge hits. If anyone else sang this song it would still be a bad songIf people expect other people to respect their opinion then they first need to learn a little constructive criticism.....they might not like a spacific Shania song but it doesn't mean the people that do are wearing "Shania colored glasses" so to speak.

I respect everyone's opinions but when your screen name is Love4Shania and you have a picture of her and a banner ad on every single post, it's hard to argue with you. Of course you love the song, it obvious with every post you do. At least gotchagood can have a decent argument and I have agreed with her on many occasions. I am not forcing my opinions on anyone and will set up an opinion poll on a new thread to see about the interest of this song. ONE RULE: If you have any combination of letters or numbers in your screen name that refer to Shania you can not vote. I will not vote as well. This will only work if you are honest.

Just because someone likes Shania and has her as their screename it doesn't mean their opinion doesn't count...what kind of hypocrite are you? All you are after is a load of people to agree with you, that is all....you could obviously careless what the Shania fans think if you generalize crap about my screename and banner! As for the song...I think it is a good song although I never said it was the best song ever, there are a load of Shania songs that I like miles better so I don't consider I Ain't No Quitter to be one of her best.

I am a Shania fan myself and could care less about getting people to agree with me. I just think it's hard to be objective when you are pushing Shania on the board with every post. I know what you and all people with the name Shania in thier screen name will vote for so why should you vote? What is so hypocritical? Just a friendly little poll to gauge interest in this song. I jsut wonder if your Love4Shania skews your views on her and her music?

They are still people, their vote still counts just as much as anyone elses...is it because you don't like where their vote might go? and no, my "Love4Shania" doesn't skew my view on her music. My love for her music came before my love for her and besides, Shania has released songs before that I don't like....admittedly, not many...but that is exactly why I think she is such a great artist in the first place.

Can we drop it? Take it to another thread or PM each other. This thread is for discussion applying to "Don't!" and I don't want it closed like the other Shania threads.

I would be a drama KING thank you very much...lol I really like Don't but see that it is done on the latest mediabase chart at 22, -32 spins. Why don't she do like Reba and Terri and just buy her way up there. Oopps! I shouldn't have said that.

Lewis (Luke) has always said that he and Shania are best friends, she's like a sister or daughter. I always wondered, then, why he never bought spins for her. Weird..but I personally don't think its worth it. If you can't get a hit on your own, then it's wrong to fake it. Plus, as I have said before, Shania doesn't need hits to sell, obviously.

well.. its slowly regaining spins,,,,,,, i think a push from a performance at the CMT/ACM's [or both] could help the song... It should at least be a top 20 hit... really a top 10..

The only way to get opinions from neutral music fans is to exclude devout fans. That's a great idea! Where's the poll? I will set up an opinion poll on a new thread to see about the interest of this song. ONE RULE: If you have any combination of letters or numbers in your screen name that refer to Shania you can not vote. I will not vote as well. This will only work if you are honest.
