Haven't had a chance to fully listen to every song multiple times yet, but so far I'm loving this. "Space Cowboy" is amazing and one of her best songs. Beautiful and haunting, which is always a combination I love. "High Horse" is great as well, and is the most catchy song she's ever made. When I first heard the pre-order, I initially was a little worried about how the rest of the album would sound, despite liking the song. I don't need a full album of Kacey country-dance songs, but a small taste is quite good. Glad to see she's projected to sell well.

If I buy something on vinyl I like it lol...and this album is fantastic. I'm not one to usually share my two cents about an album, but here are my favorites from Golden Hour: 1. Rainbow (umm... jhomes87 ???) 2. Space Cowboy 3. High Horse 4. Wonder Woman 5. Velvet Elvis (yea...this song is amazing) 6. Love Is a Wild Thing 7. Oh, What a World 8 Mother 9. Slow Burn 10. Lonely Weekend 11. Happy & Sad 12. Butterflies 13. Golden Hour Ha, sorry, but I'm not alone in my thinking... www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLm06-AwavE"Rainbow" seems to be in very few people's top 5. For me, it's not that I dislike the song (because this album is so perfect), but I think the fact that I knew it was written years ago and that it's the last track on the album makes it seems like it doesn't quite 'fit' with the rest of the songs, and honestly it just doesn't sound like the other 12 songs. It's still a good song and it sounds just fine, but the other 12 songs definitely sound a bit more cohesive in terms of their production...they're very synth-heavy with lots of steel guitar, banjo, drums, strings, keyboard, and backing vocals. Basically the production just really pops on most of them because of all the different little tricks and varying instruments, whereas "Rainbow" is mostly stripped down. I love songs like that too, but again, in this case it just doesn't 'pop' as much for me since it's coming from such a sonically unique and pleasing album. Idk if that even makes sense lol. |

Golden Hour has debuted at #06 on the official UK Albums Chart! That's the highest debut by a country album since "Speak Now" in 2010! Congrats, Kacey!   |

For reference only, HDD's final bumbers are 38,457 pure sales and 48,797 SPS. That's what she can do with ZERO songs charting on the country airplay charts. If she can match those numbers on Billboard, Golden Hour will debut with higher sales + streams than most artists that got #01 hits in the past year!!! I mean, Brett Eldredge, Dustin Lynch, Chris Young, Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina, Breatt Young, Darius Rucker, Billy Currington, Old Dominion, Kelsea Ballerini, Lanco, Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, Dylan Scott, Scotty McCreery, Rascal Flatts...
All I can say is... TAKE. THAT. COUNTRY. RADIO.

Yasssssss! This is also why I wish she'd get country radio play too because she'd probably have opened with close to 100,000 if she had the kind of airplay those artists got with one of their hit singles. Glad she does well without them though. <3 |

While Iβm really excited for her success, not sure sheβs comparable to those acts
Iβd group them:
New: Lanco, Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, Scotty McCreery, Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina, Brett Young, Old Dominion
Old: Darius Rucker, Billy Currington, Rascal Flatts.
Boring/ no one cares: Dylan Scott, Dustin Lynch, Chris Young,
I guess I could see these two doing comparably to Kacey, π€·ββοΈ
Brett Eldredge, Kelsea Ballerini,
As Jordan Davis has recently showed, radio success doesnβt have to equate to sales

The goal here was not comparing Kacey and those artists... I was comparing the (in my opinion, unfair) amount of support radio gives to Kacey in relation to those other artists, and how she's able (once again) to overcome that. I was calling out radio for their complete biased lack of support for Kacey, when they completely leave music out of the equation and just focus on the politics and interest games of this industry. The idea here was not putting artist A vs B... the point was that Kacey was able to succeed while having the huge disadvantage of such an important (and to some artists, vital) piece of the country industry (that is radio) completely ignoring her. As .indulgecountry posted above, I can only imagine how much more comercial success she could have if radio gave her even half of the exposure it gives to other artists that don't perform as well as her in the sales department. |

I guess my response is that radio didnβt help those artists that much with their sales in comparison so your assumption seems reaching. And, it doesnβt seem that radio is sweating your βtake that.β They clearly donβt care.

Because radio in 2018 doesn't help most with sales and is largely irrelevant. When for $9.99/month you can get the whole world of music at your finger tips, sitting through car commercials on terrestrial radio is cumbersome and unnecessary. It makes me even more of a Kacey fan that she succeeds without radio.

Singer Kacey Musgraves collects her third top 10 album, as her seventh studio album Golden Hour bows at No. 4 with 49,000 units (with 39,000 of that sum powered by traditional album sales). Musgraves previously visited the top 10 with Pageant Material (No. 3 in 2015) and Same Trailer Different Park (No. 2, 2013).
Golden Hour is the highest charting country album since Luke Bryanβs What Makes You Country launched at No. 1 on the Dec. 30, 2017-dated list.
CONGRATS KACEY!

I've only listened to it once, so I can't rank it yet or anything, but "Lonely Weekend" is an early standout to me. If she were someone who country radio would play, I think it would be huge. I'm really liking the album so far, and I imagine that it will only grow on me with time.

This is probably her most consistent album across the board for me yet, because the lows (and there really aren't any of those for me either... like "Mother" is probably my least favorite on the record technically but it's more because it's barely a minute in length) aren't as low as anything on her first two ("Stupid," "Die Fun," "Cup of Tea" i.e.), though I also don't think there are quite as many 'highs' on this record for me. It's just a really mellow, pleasant, consistent run-through. "Butterflies" and "Happy & Sad" are the two that I keep coming back to the most. Absolutely in love with both of those. After that most of the songs are pretty close together for me in terms of enjoyment, but they're all solid.
