I have the new GH2 CD which includes it, but it's actually one of my least favorite songs on the album...

That actually surprises me a bit since the only physical way to get the song is to buy Kenny's re-released GH2, which hasn't really seen that big of a spike in sales since the re-release. Guess the whole thing may be backfiring a bit. The label figured super Chesney fans would get the download. There may be some fans who don't know that the single is on the GH2 package. Perhaps Kenny will include it on the next record as a 'bonus' track for that reason. I hope they include it on the next album. I bought GHV2 before the re-release, and I definitely won't be re-buying that album, so I would appreciate it if it was on Kenny's next studio release.

Fairly decent #'s for Shelby's CD being that it didn't really get any publicity.

5k for Jo Dee's new CD. I can't decide how much of a failure that is.
Based on virtually no airplay, she sold 5k albums based on her name, from die hard Jo Dee fans, including me. Doesn't sound too awfully bad I guess.
I just wonder if Curb will even bother giving one of the songs an adds date and then abandon it.

Well I got my copy of all three new albums that are shown so at least one of those copies are mine :). I always find it interesting to see Mary Chapin Carpenter open in the top 10 with no hit for the past decade, but someone like Jo Dee Messina who's had singles that have charted not sell nearly as much, I wonder why this tends to happen? Thoughts people.

Thanks for posting that. I really don't understand Curb's behaviour at all. They can't be making any money by refusing to release albums and then not promoting them when they finally do get released. I have the same fears that Curb will cite poor sales and shelve the two remaining EPs. That's too bad, because the Drive EP is the one that I'm really interested in. I bought Love and I like it, but I prefer songs with more attitude. I still don't understand why they didn't send a single out from this EP.

Thank you for posting that article.
It's good to see how frustrated Jo Dee is. Because her fans feel the same way.
I have never understood Curb. They have mishandled Jo Dee's career, even before now. The album "Delicious Surprise" should have done MUCH better. As much as I love that song by the same name, it SHOULD NOT have been a single. It should have been skipped for "Someone Else's Life". Especially after being a consistent hitmaker. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20, but even then it was obvious. And now they release this new album and "plan" on releasing the next two. It ain't gonna work.
They've completely mishandled LeAnn's career too. "Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine" is just the most recent example I can think of. That should have never been thought of to be released. Blue County was a good duo that could have gone far. Heidi Newfield should have had a lot more success with her album.
And don't get my started about poor Amy Dalley.

And don't forget about Steve Holy. He's been jerked around as much as anyone. The biggest problem Curb has is Mike Curb. He seems to have too much power over the label and seems to know very little about how the music business actually works. It's baffling at times. I honestly wonder how quickly the label will go bankrupt after their cash cow Mr. McGraw finally becomes free and flees for higher ground.

You know, Jo Dee Messina could EASILY fill the "tough chick" role that Toby may be interested in for his label, alongside Trace Adkins.

Thank you for posting that article. It's good to see how frustrated Jo Dee is. Because her fans feel the same way. I have never understood Curb. They have mishandled Jo Dee's career, even before now. The album "Delicious Surprise" should have done MUCH better. As much as I love that song by the same name, it SHOULD NOT have been a single. It should have been skipped for "Someone Else's Life". Especially after being a consistent hitmaker. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20, but even then it was obvious. And now they release this new album and "plan" on releasing the next two. It ain't gonna work. They've completely mishandled LeAnn's career too. "Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine" is just the most recent example I can think of. That should have never been thought of to be released. Blue County was a good duo that could have gone far. Heidi Newfield should have had a lot more success with her album. And don't get my started about poor Amy Dalley. And don't forget about Steve Holy. He's been jerked around as much as anyone. The biggest problem Curb has is Mike Curb. He seems to have too much power over the label and seems to know very little about how the music business actually works. It's baffling at times. I honestly wonder how quickly the label will go bankrupt after their cash cow Mr. McGraw finally becomes free and flees for higher ground. I'm no Curb Records defender but to say that Mike Curb knows very little about how the music business actually works is an ignorant comment. His label may do things that are head-scratching a majority of the time, but Mike Curb knows exactly what he's doing and is a multimillionaire because of it. He was that before he even heard who Tim McGraw was. Curb Records is quite successful in the Christian market and owns a lot of $ making catalog product. The label is in no risk to close down. Hell Belmont University's music business branch is "Mike Curb School Of Music Business."

I'm not doubting his experience and history in the business, but he just doesn't seem to grasp the way the current country scene works. That's what it seems from the outside at least.

It will be interesting to see if NYN can overtake LS as top country digital seller. It will have to keep up its momentum for a few more months, but it looks like it's possible.
