Lindsay Ell's "Trippin' On Us" was pulled in the U.S. after what looked like a decent start to its run. It went on to peak in the Top 20 in Canada and she's already moved on to her second single there. Trace Adkins pulled "Brown Chicken Brown Cow" after it made the Top 40 and publicly apologized for releasing it, lol. I think Craig Morgan's "Corn Star" was also pulled shortly after it was released and "More Trucks Than Cars" was issued pretty quickly on the heels of that decision.

"Big Blue Note" was prematurely pulled by Toby to rush out "Get Drunk And Be Somebody". The song was still bulleted at #5 and had a reasonable shot at a #2 or #1 peak but I think Toby was anxious to get his first official lead single off Show-Dog out to radio.
MCA pulled both "What A Shame" and "That's Why I Hate Pontiacs" by Rebecca Lynn Howard.

"You Look Good in My Shirt" was supposed to be the fifth single off Keith Urban's Golden Road, but the label changed its mind and released "Days Go By" instead. Of course, he re-recorded it four years later and sent it as a single from a Greatest Hits package due to demand.

My cousin (Billy Montana) has been on the bad end of a couple of these situations with his songs.
"Montgomery To Memphis" was supposed to be a single off Lee Ann Womack's debut album before a song called "A Little Past Little Rock" came around. I believe they had the CD singles ready to ship out to radio and everything.
"Seven Days" was slated to be a single off Kenny Chesney's Hemingway's Whiskey album - many people here probably know a video was filmed for it.

"Seven Days" was slated to be a single off Kenny Chesney's Hemingway's Whiskey album - many people here probably know a video was filmed for it. I'm still very upset about this. "Seven Days" is such a great song and the lyrics would lend themselves to an incredible video. I wonder if they ever completely finished the video? It would be awesome if it somehow leaked online! Here's the article on Lee's website from January 2011, confirming that "Seven Days" was slated to be a single for Kenny: Obviously we don't know why, but something caused them (Kenny and his team) to change their minds. An article from The Boot from October 2010 talked about the "Seven Days" video but said it wouldn't debut until fall 2011. "You And Tequila" was Kenny's single over summer 2011 (it was released around Memorial Day) and it charted a bit longer than his singles typically do; it was followed by "Reality" in October as the 5th single from Hemingway's Whiskey. My guess is that the 4th single was originally planned to be "Seven Days" (with the video in late summer/early fall) instead of "You And Tequila", but it's also possible that "Reality" (an October release) took the place of "Seven Days". I can't fault BNA for releasing "You And Tequila" as it's one of my all-time favorite Kenny singles, but I could've done without "Reality" (it's a decent song, but not super memorable). They probably didn't want to release consecutive ballads, though. Anyway, I can't find exactly where it was (I think it was a tweet), but I'm 99% sure that Lee later said if Kenny never released it, then he [Lee] definitely would. But, as the story goes, Kenny didn't release it, and neither did Lee, despite "Seven Days" making the track list for Hard 2 Love. Lee not releasing it might even be more frustrating to me, because after Kenny passed on it, and then it appeared on Lee's album, I was sure it would eventually see a release...but nope! :(

I remember Whitney Duncan confirming that "I Found It In You" would be Lee Ann Womack's lead single and I think even Lee Ann herself said in an interview that everything was decided when she heard "Last Call" and she and her team changed their minds.

And finally "Everything But Me" was going to be the lead from 'A Story To Tell'. I decided to comment on the one's I singled out or help with. :) * Warner Bros. did release "Pearls" to radio in early 2006. Unfortunately it never charted. Almost made R&R's new and active but never did and she was dropped afterwards. It got 16 adds on the week ending 3/3/2006. * Terri did send out "Damn Right" to radio. It got 24 adds in February of 2006 but never charted. * "Tequila Sheila" did go for adds but did nothing. * The Steve Holy comment made me laugh. :) * "That's Why I Hate Pontiacs" lasted a few weeks actually. She even made a video for the song which was taken off of YouTube a while back. "What A Shame" was also pulled by her label to rush out "I Need A Vacation" when it appeared "What A Shame" wasn't going to go anywhere. * Which single do you mean from Buddy Jewell? "So Gone" was the second single from his sophomore major label album. It got to #47 on R&R but never charted on Billboard. * "Rebelicious" did go for adds in May of 2006 but bombed bad. * "23 Days" was claimed by XM to be the follow up to "In Terms Of Love". They even played it quite a bit but a terrestrial radio release never happened. Releasing "In Terms Of Love" (which I did yesterday in the "random video" thread if anybody wants to check it out ;)) in the summer was an awful decision.

Wasn't "Love" supposed to be the third single off Sugarland's Love on the Inside, but it was replaced with "It Happens"?
I don't get any hits on Google for her doing a song with this name. Where did you find this?
Wasn't "Ain't Gonna Stop" slated as a second single at one point, too?

They even played it quite a bit but a terrestrial radio release never happened. Releasing "In Terms Of Love" (which I did yesterday in the "random video" thread if anybody wants to check it out ;)) in the summer was an awful decision. Ok so "Pearls" did get released, I thought she was dropped before it got released. I thought Terri asked off the label something like 3 days after it went for adds? I remember it came very very soon after the adds day. It wasn't announced right away but I remember hearing she was off the label before the next weeks adds. So If I remember correctly (which is possible I don't) then it kinda counts lol Lol the Steve Holy comment was meant to make fun of his horrible situation. I knew she made a music video for "That's Why I Hate Pontiacs" but I thought that it was pulled before add date? Like the video was out a few weeks before adds. Either way it's a shame as it was a great song. So was "No One'll Ever Love Me" but "Pontiacs" was more radio friendly. Also those two singles were from her time with Arista Nashville. For Buddy Jewell I mean 3rd single from his 2nd album lol, I was also falling a sleep a bit by then so I have no clue what I meant by "he'll be fine either way" lol. Didn't Jamey get dropped a week after it went for adds too though? It didn't really get a chance. As for the SHeDAISY info that all comes from somebody who knows them, they told me that was the plan. So XM Radio was right in that it was planned as the 4th single. Wasn't "Love" supposed to be the third single off Sugarland's Love on the Inside, but it was replaced with "It Happens"? I don't get any hits on Google for her doing a song with this name. Where did you find this? Wasn't "Ain't Gonna Stop" slated as a second single at one point, too? Yes the label also considered "Ain't Gonna Stop" as the second single. I think either one of those would've done better than "For You" though I do love that one as well. As for Megan if you google the song you can find lyrics to it and I remember it being announced for adds and even hearing it on the radio, but I'm not sure it ever went for adds. I have a copy and I'm realizing now it's not an easy song to find.

^ "Rebelicious" did go for adds according to my information and it was on WYRK's New Country Battle. That's all the info I have, but I guess it's possible he left just after it got released.
"Flying Silver Eagle" I wish was a single. Other than "The Dollar" that was my favorite from that album.

They also played "Pearls" and "Damn Right".

I love "Last Call" and I'm glad it came first, but it's such a shame that they didn't still put out "I Found It in You." It would've been perfect as the second single. Just about anything would've been better than "Solitary Thinkin'" though, which was just all wrong for radio. Wasn't "Love" supposed to be the third single off Sugarland's Love on the Inside, but it was replaced with "It Happens"? I remember that, too. I believe "Keep You" was also supposed to be a fifth single from that album but they never released it (I'm guessing because of the way "Joey" underperformed). It did have a music video though, which they still put out.

^ I think it was. Apparently some people didn't like the concept of him pretending to speak for God. I know it only had 19 weeks on, which was then rather rare for a Top 20 hit.
I don't remember WKJC playing it even once. I heard it on WATZ much later and didn't recognize it in the slightest.

Sorry for the double post, but it's a two day gap. Thought of another pulled single: George Jones' "The King Is Gone (And So Are You)". Hanna-Barbera threatened a lawsuit because the song had "yabba-dabba-doo" in it.
ETA: Did Amy Dalley's "Everybody's Got a Vice" ever go for adds?

Lonestar's "Saturday Night" was pulled for "Amazed", apparently. A #47 peaker in 1999. Then it all changed for Lonestar. I covered Amazed in July, 2010 during the eleventh anniversary of Amazed hitting #1. This is what I said: The Lonely Grill CD started with a failure when Saturday Night peaked at #47. Then Amazed was released in April and made its way to the top in July. Believe it or not, it was still charting as late as January 2000. BOTH Billboard and the American Country Countdown named it the top single for 1999. The original version of Amazed peaked at #24 on the pop charts in 1999. They put out a pop version in 2000 which topped the chart that year (as well as peaking at #2 on the A.C. chart). It was the first time a country single topped the pop chart since Islands In The Stream in 1983. Amazed was certified gold in 2000. The Lonely Grill CD yielded three more chart toppers:

I heard that "Nothing In This World" was going to be the lead single from Diamond Rio's second album Close To The Edge but they went with "In A Week Or Two" instead and never released NITW.
Mark Chesnutt pulled "Wherever You Are" for "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing".

Old thread brought back from the dead. Get it. ;)
I was listening to "How It Should Be" by Carolina Rain come on my iPhone yesterday, and I remember Rhean Boyer saying how that it was going to be the third single after "Isn't She". If I recall it was even on the sticker on the CD at the store where it says "Featuring "Get Outta My Way", "Isn't She", and "How It Should Be". But for some unexplained reason, Equity decided to out think themselves and released "Dealin'" to country radio in July of 2007. I love the song but it was a horrible decision for a single and unfortunately never charted.
Capitol relesed "Banjo Boy" by Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband twice. Once in the fall of 2005 right after "Dream Big" finally went recurrent. It never caught on. Then it went for adds again in March of 2006. Two things. One - Why would you send a song (especially that song) to radio twice in such a short period of time when the first time, it bombed bad (it cracked the top 60 on R&R as it peaked at #59 the second time)? Secondly - why would you not try another song to radio instead of retrying "Banjo Boy" which was just too different for radio? They had plenty of better radio fair like "Even Superman" and "Would You Love Me" that would have made much better singles.

Seems like I remember reading on a Jimmy Wayne board years back that he was gonna release "The Rabbit" after "I Love You This Much", but released "You Are" (good song, bad choice...) instead. Don't know the truth to it though. Wish it would've happened though...

I remember the sticker for Restless Heart's "Still Restless" album saying that "Makin' Hay" and "Every Fire" would be the next singles. But that never happened because Koch closed right after "Feel My Way to You". That's a shame too, because I would've loved to see more off that album. Imagine what would happen if their version of "Down the Road" had gotten out. Would Kenny's version have ever been cut? "You Are" (good song, bad choice...) I feel that "You Are" is a completely boring cliché storm personally, and probably the only JW single I didn't like except maybe "Sara Smile". (Hey, I was a young and inexperienced reviewer when I gave it a positive review on Roughstock, okay? ) Yes, this means I like "I Will", even though it's horrendrously overproduced and I can see how people would think it's a bit emo...

^ I pretty much am with you on liking every Jimmy Wayne song but "You Are" which I found totally uninteresting, and "Sara Smile" which I still have no clue how anybody at Valory thought that would be a good choice for a lead single.
I liked "I Will" as well, even though the first time I heard it I didn't know just how loud that chorus would be. Completely took me off guard - so much so I had to quickly turn my speakers down to prevent unintentional damage to my eardrums. I guess I should have known since "Do You Believe Me Now" was over produced. Usually I'm a stickler for that aspect of a song but for some reason I still liked "I Will" and loved "Do You Believe Me Now". "That's All I'll Ever Need" is another great song from Jimmy that most forget about since it only got to #45 on MB in December of 2006.

Does anyone know if Alabama's "Say I" was pulled? It only got to #38, and that seems really abrupt considering that the other singles off that album all fared decently.

I guess we can add Miranda Lambert's "Smokin' And Drinkin'" to this list now.

I guess we can add Miranda Lambert's "Smokin' And Drinkin'" to this list now. I guess it depends on how people see a "ghost single". The label did announce it as a single but they never sent it out. Personally I would only call a single a "ghost single" if it actually got sent to radio but then was quickly pulled in favor of something else. I have a hunch that "Smokin' And Drinkin'" could still be a single at some point down the road. Then again, if it's out in fall 2015, what would Miranda perform at the CMA's (since she and LBT already performed this there last month)? It'd be weird for any artist to perform the same song 2 years in a row..

I don't know if Andy Griggs' "This I Gotta See" or "I Never Had a Chance" were ever officially released. I remember WATZ playing both, and thinking it weird that he followed two Top 5 hits with a #59 and a song that didn't even chart.

They have up on it pretty quick, though.

Thought of a few more:
Haley Georgia's "Ridiculous" was pulled because the label knew it was utter crap "rights issues".
Ronnie Milsap had a single pulled in 2009 because of rights issues. I believe it was "My First Ride".
Holly Dunn had "Maybe I Mean Yes" withdrawn because some listeners thought the song was condoning date rape.
Going way back, Ray Stevens "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon" was pulled because it used the eponymous character without permission.
Didn't Craig Wayne Boyd have a followup to "My Baby's Got a Smile on Her Face" announced and then pulled because he quit the label?
I found a note somewhere saying that Joe Diffie originally released "Down in a Ditch" after "C-O-U-N-T-R-Y", but it didn't chart. I seem to recall hearing Ditch on the radio at least once, so I wonder if it got quickly swapped out for "Whole Lotta Gone"?
John Bunzow's "Easy as One, Two, Three" and 4 Runner's "That Was Him (This Is Now)" had their promotions pulled when their respective labels (Liberty and A&M) closed. Relatedly, neither album was released.
It might've been mentioned already, but "Swingin' Door" was supposed to be Edens Edge's third single, but it never got out because Hannah Blaylock quit. That's a shame, because "Amen" and "Too Good to Be True" were great songs, and I liked "Swingin' Door" since I first heard Joey Daniels sing it in 2006 (in fact, it was the only good song on her album).
I wonder if Ty Herndon's "In Your Face" was pulled quickly? It only got to #63 on the heels of songs that went to #1, #7, and #21.

Also, the summer of 2005 was a pretty brutal time for releasing singles. I think "This I Gotta See" just got lost in the shuffle and since RCA had a pretty lengthy chart run with the previous single ("If Heaven"), they just knew it was a lost cause and stopped promotion after less than two months.
