I don't know, I was a huge Sugarland fan, and yet Jennifer's music just isn't as good as it was when she was part of the duo (/trio). While "Unlove You" is miles better than anything on her last solo album, it still is nowhere as good as any of Sugarland's singles in my opinion. I haven't dug deep into her album, but from one listen nothing stood out to being anywhere near the quality of "Stay", "Settlin'", "Stuck Like Glue", "Baby Girl", "Something More", etc.

I would say that their debut album is still the best, but that's an immaculate album all around and one the strongest debut albums from any country artist/group ever. It's in a league of it's own, imo.

I think Jennifer's album is really good but it doesn't touch "Twice The Speed Of Life" or "Enjoy The Ride."
Jenn and Kristian are good solo artists but they're even better together and when they had Kristen back in the day, they had pure magic. :(

It's in a league of it's own, imo. Completely agree with "The Incredible Machine" being awful (aside from Stuck Like Glue) and "Love On The Inside" not being that great either. Their first two albums are flawless though. I'll have to check out Playing With Fire again to see if something else catches my attention the second time around.

So how is this one doing? It seems like every week for the past like month I've seen posts implicating that this one could be on its last leg but it keeps hanging in there and even though it'll get some bad updates, it'll have some good ones, too. I'd really like to see this one at least make the Top 20. It's selling decently and I think Jennifer Nettles should have enough star power/name recognition to deserve at least that at minimum with this one, imo. Ideally, I'd like to see this one hang in there and make the Top 20 asap and then see them get out an uptempo follow-up (Heels or Heartbreak) before year's end and pray that one does far better for her.

I am so ready for this song to be done... It is not really a song that lends itself to massive airplay, which is what it has been getting for months around where I live. I still like the song, but I can feel the burnout starting, and I don't want that to get any worse!

I wish that it had been a multi-week #1, but now I think that Jennifer would be better served by having a new single out that could re-ignite interest in her album. I think that this one needs to either really pick it up, or go recurrent.

I've really grown to appreciate this song lately and bought it on iTunes. It gives me "Stay" vibes.

I think it's best for the label to let this go, Jennifer fell down to #29 which makes making the Top 20 looking all the more harder and Jennifer lost her bullet so she also got a grace week, so I wouldn't be that upset or shocked if the label gives up since she isn't moving much.
Jennifer hasn't been moving for a good month now so why keep this song when Jennifer is struggling to stay afloat?

Sure enough "Unlove You" is done. Jennifer Nettles lost 64 spins today and 410k in audience today.
Jennifer will get one more week on MB before going recurrent while she will most certainly will be leaving BB this Monday.

Oh well I'm a little sad this didn't at least make Top 20, but I'm ready for them to move on (and clearly so was radio, lol). Bring on "Hey Heartbreak" or "Drunk in Heels"!!
