Shocked this isn’t getting ripped to shreds here. It sounds like it was written by a 10 year old... You mean the intricate chorus which rhymes "girl" with "girl" and then "you" with "you" isn't thoughtful enough? Not just “girl” with “girl”....”good girl” with “good girl”!

Shocked this isn’t getting ripped to shreds here. It sounds like it was written by a 10 year old... I think “Good Girl” is the least creative song charting. It’s a quick grab for a radio hit. The lyrics are terrible. I cringe every time I hear it. I lean towards a more traditional sound but I do enjoy a fair share of pop-infused country...but Dustin Lynch is bottom of the barrel for current artists in today’s mainstream country, for me at least. If he started out his career with something like “Where It’s At” or “Hell of a Night”, I might chalk it up as a pop guy with some country elements tossed in but his debut album wasn’t in that tier — especially his neo-traditional debut single. His drastic shift to this sound leads one to believe it was for radio success, which is fine if that’s the plan he and BBR desire but his music is boring, uncreative and as trend-chasing as they go these days. His music incorporates everything I’ve disliked about country radio’s overall sound transition the past several years.

I feel like this song's chart run was:
50-50-50-45-50-45-45-45-40-45-40-25-5
Just floundered around doing nothing for a while and now it's approaching #1. And just like the first single last era, no album in sight. Will it be another 6 months before they even announce an album?

I figured they would do a deluxe edition of his last album during this songs chart run, that's what I figured.

So... is this going to go #1, or "Sixteen"? They're pretty close in spins, but Thomas Rhett is still over one million ahead in audience.

Until "Speechless" concedes the #1 spot there is no concrete way of knowing which will go first as of right now. If I have to say it probably will go #1 but I don't feel 100% confident. It'll definitely be a few weeks before either hit #1 though with the holiday slowdown about to impact.

I really hope "Sixteen" blocks this from going #1

Well that's just false because even on the rolling chart as of today Dan + Shay is still ahead on Mediabase. So All Access got it wrong. "Good Girl" will probably be #1 next week on both charts. Not this past week.

I left a comment underneath the article on the story of him hitting #1, telling this is not true and that Dan + Shay's "Speechless" is #1 while Dustin is #2. I also said he is going for #1 this coming weekend.

This, like others have mentioned already, is wrong. “Speechless” was #1 and it wasn’t even close — 1800 points ahead of “Good Girl”. I’m not sure why or how this was allowed to be published in a press release. “Good Girl” isn’t even close to “Speechless” in Billboard audience either, so Dan + Shay got #1 on both charts this week. Mediabase 24/7 and Kworb are always better sources for this sort of thing. All Access has many benefits you can’t find anywhere else but they’ve gotten some things wrong in the past. This one is just perplexing though..

...and Mediabase. Numbers don't lie. Dan + Shay are roughly 1,800 points ahead of Dustin Lynch and 546 spins ahead. There's no possible way Lynch was #1. BBR is pushing "Good Girl" starting this week and there's decent odds that "Good Girl" will overtake "Speechless" by next Sunday. Unless I'm in the Twilight Zone and there's some conspiracy coming from the folks at All Access and other publications, "Speechless" is #1 on both charts.

Assuming Good Girl gets #1 next week, are they going to receive another “sweet treat” lol

My eyes popped out of my head when I first posted the link late this morning. However, AllAccess now says Dustin Lynch is powering up for #1 next week. I did see rbundy1987's post at AllAccess.

We'll likely see a word-for-word regurgitation of the erroneous article next week. They must have had the publish function on auto-pilot and set the date wrong by a week...

I think it just proves how manufactured the charts are. AllAccess goofed by publishing it a week early, but everyone in radio already knows Dustin will be #1 this coming weekend. It's sad, really, that it's like this most weeks.

His music incorporates everything I’ve disliked about country radio’s overall sound transition the past several years. Could not agree more. This song seems so bland and simplistic. Lynch has been one of the more disappointing artists in Nashville since his debut was pretty close to traditional country. Chris Young & Dustin may have found radio success but both seem super fake with their music. Both grew up in Tennessee and both started down a great road with traditional sounding tracks. Now is hard to listen to their music that sounds like pop music children wrote.

A lot of horrible songs have hit #1 since Cruise and Somethin' Bout A Truck topped the charts and seemingly inspired a deluge of dreadful bro country garbage to pollute our eardrums as well as the charts.
This is a juvenile song which DOES sound like it was written by a 10-year old and this 1,000+ gain in spins is also very hideous IMHO.

The 1000 spin gain is a bit of an inflation due to countdowns like CT40 and American Country Countdown returning this past weekend,the push is still ridiculous, but not as bad as it looks on surface level.

Yeah, there's not much of a push here. Just naturally radio powering it up to #1 levels. Supports my theory that Speechless wasn't too big a hit as it fell pretty easily to a better-researching song.

I guess only time will judge as we see the recurrent charts. Good Girl could end up getting more recurrent airplay due to research, or Speechless could end up getting more recurrent play due to the number of weeks it spent at #1 over Christmas. My bets are on Good Girl, though.

"Speechless" was a MUCH bigger hit than this. Research is not the be all end all when it comes to being a hit (like I told you before, it's very flawed).

Research isn't the greatest tool due to its flaws and how the callout basically kills any female artists chances 9 times out of 10.
But even with research "Speechless" is a bigger hit and will be remembered more than "Good Girl". "Speechless" sold very well during its chart run, still in the Top 15 on iTunes all genre and looks to have a very slow fall. "Good Girl" took a while to really take off and the sales are okay. Not bad, not great.
This song basically did its purpose, it got Dustin Lynch back on the radar with radio and the general public after "I'd Be Jealous Too" completely tanked all his momentum. Definitely curious to see what type of song he releases next since there is no EP or new album in sight. Hopefully he goes for a ballad or a slow song for once because while they aren't literally, it feels like all of his songs for yeats are the same up to mid tempo party hookup jams and I am kind of over it.

We need a standout song from Dustin Lynch next. The past few singles have laughably forgettable.
When we're debating the research between Dan + Shay and Dustin Lynch the "female factor," while important, is not involved. According to the Mediabase reports, Good Girl scores higher than Speechless. Dustin earns a higher pop score against Dan + Shay, 87-82. Dustin earned a 14.3% negative score vs. Dan + Shay's 16.5%. Now, Dan and Shay did beat Dustin with an 8.9% burn rate while Dustin scored a 9.8, but I view that as a sign that neither record was exactly an enthusiastic hit with listeners.
Now, I'm not saying that country radio is entirely aware of this and Good Girl will get way more recurrent airplay than Speechless. In fact, I think the manufactured four weeks Speechless spent at #1 will greatly increase its share of recurrent airplay. I just think it's important to note that Good Girl tested better than Speechless even though several thousand people in a Michigan coffee shop on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m. bought Speechless and not Good Girl.

Ballads, these days, typically have bad callout scores on radio. “Speechless” is the bigger hit. Hands down. It’s not even a contest. It’s rise (and stay) to #1 was not “manufactured,” like at all. Ten years from now, “Speechless” will have the recurrent AirPlay. It’s also sold more, in way less time, is going to crossover to pop and ac. That all being said, I’m glad DL scores another hit as he truly is one of the genre’s most-talented vocalists. I’ll be interested in what’s next.
