The video preview looks gorgeous! Can't wait for the whole thing! When is it coming out? Hopefully soon! We may find out the answer tonight when the preview airs during the Grammys.

UMG Nashville just sent βRainbowβ to country radio again in the past hour. Right after Kaceyβs Grammy performance and award wins.

Most likely as a subtle reminder to say something like "Don't forget we sent you this last week because look at Kacey racking up all the Grammys and you don't want to miss out on playing the new single from the Country Album of the Year do you!?"

It means exactly like it sounds -- the label re-sent this digitally into stations, programmers, radio staff's inbox tonight -- through Play MPE. It's to help reinforce to stations that "Rainbow" should be on their radar after the Grammy's and also helps put Kacey at the top of the inbox. There can be dozens of releases over the course of the week that can knock "Rainbow" down the list (much like a thread can be knocked to the second or third page of the country forum). Now stations can easily listen and download "Rainbow" immediately after tonight's Grammy's and it'll be there near the top of their inbox when they wake up in the morning. After the wins for Country song/album and her performance, this totally makes sense to re-send it again, ahead of Monday's add date.

Wow, that video is gorgeous! I really hope this um, 'light pressure' her label is doing, helps her get a hit. I mean, this is possibly her best single of her career, and if it becomes a hit, I will be over the moon β₯

She did it, and she did it her own way. No support from country radio, but spins be damned, Kacey Musgraves won the Grammy for Album of the Year for Golden Hour.

Maybe I'm too optimistic but I think Kacey Musgraves winning the all genre album of the year specifically could really help this song succeed with country radio. So smart of the label to release this to radio especially with all the awards won.
If country music doesn't play this song after having Kacey Musgraves win the Grammy Album of the Year, that would be the worse look ever. So many people would be so pissed off and the publicity would be horrid. Their public image would probably be 100 times worse than it already is.
I got the same vibes from Kacey Musgraves at the Grammys, the same time I did with the CMA Awards in 2015 with Chris Stapleton.
I am prbably too optimistic, but oh well.

There's no way radio can ignore "Rainbow" after Kacey going 4/4 at the Grammy's and winning the BIGGEST AWARD IN ALL OF MUSIC, can they!?!? Goodness gracious am I proud of this woman and I pray this can actually get her the radio hit she desperately DESERVES. It will be SO interesting to see what they do if "Rainbow" actually becomes a hit. Will they "re-release" Butterflies or Space Cowboy (even though neither actually got released as singles in the first place)? Will they go with a different follow up single that hasn't already been treated like a single (those two + Slow Burn and High Horse)? Ugh, this is so freakin exciting!!! The first glimmer of hope I've had with her radio career since "Follow Your Arrow" flopped. She DESERVES to be absolutely huge and radio needs to catch the hell up. Here's there chance to swallow their pride and hope on board.

The first glimmer of hope I've had with her radio career since "Follow Your Arrow" flopped. She DESERVES to be absolutely huge and radio needs to catch the hell up. Here's there chance to swallow their pride and hope on board. At this point, I nearly want Kacey to shift away from seeking radio success entirely. That does not mean I donβt believe UMG Nashville should continue sending singles to radio, but rather that her career emphasis remain on its current trajectory of receiving critical acclaim over commercial success. Even without radioβs support, the album has managed to hold its own in sales. I think her teamβs marketing approach of performing different album tracks on various television outlets and utilizing social media to heighten brand awareness has been extremely beneficial in catapauling her to where she stands. Her touring act is expanding and new dates have just been added. She is in a place where she has the momentum to move in whichever direction sheβd like and sending βRainbowβ to radio may be more circumstantial than not. I want it to do wellβitβs a song that demands attentionβbut I still feel reluctance on programmerβs parts. ETA: Golden Hour has moved to #3 on the iTunes all-genre Albums chart and βRainbowβ is sitting at #10 in Singles. I suspect these positions will increase within the next day.

Awesome for Kacey. Country Radio just doesn't get it. Never have. Continue to play songs that don't stream/sell well while constantly ignoring the likes of Kacey Musgraves and, in the past, Chris Stapleton. While these radio conglomerates continue to file for bankruptcy or reorganize one would think their approach to receiving revenue would change (play more of what people want instead of promoting songs that don't sell/stream well). Sad, but true.

Sad, but true. Radio is there to sell commercials and the radio audience is different than the streaming audience. That being said, the ego of some in radio to refuse to play some artists (like Kacey and other women) or kinds of songs (ballads like this) or themes of songs (inspirational) too much is the real issue. They would rather play based on old metrics rather than modern ones. Because streaming is totally a great indicator of what people want. So, looking to trends from streaming will be a great way for radio to adapt. I want this song to SMASH but I fear it goes higher than Top 20 because of the type of song it is.

Of course country radio wonβt play this. Theyβre too enamored with Russell Dickerson and Dylan Scott. Itβs gross.
Even though I think Slow Burn / Butterflies would be the better radio choice.
But it is a slap in radios face and I absolutely love it. I love it.

Congratulations to Kacey Musgraves on her Grammy wins. Album of the Year will be a huge boost for her and the Golden Hour album. I'll bet The Brazilian Guy π§π· won't be coming down for quite some time.

I think the resistance of country radio in part is that they arenβt able to βhandleβ Kacey. In the manner that airplay can make or break a career, Kacey remains an outlier who has flown in the face of programmers as someone who has been able to craft a career with out their foundational backing. While others have faded away with worsening chart conditions, her artistic reach has widened and strengthened. She doesnβt play that game and therefore does not win the prizes, but has achieved beyond such.

The grammy was undeserved.. Kacey has a one dimensonal voice.. Her smooth voice is pretty at first but when I am not in the mood for dreary lullabies (Usually I am not) she has nothing to offer.
She has absolutely no catchy or upbeat songs at all. I think she is the only country female I know of I can say that about in the last 20+ years..All her songs are slow plodding and boring because that's just how her voice is.

Itβs undeserving in YOUR opinion. High Horse is insanely catchy and up tempo. Up tempo doesnβt always = good. Her songs are high quality in all aspects. In my opinion.

I think she is the only country female I know of I can say that about in the last 20+ years..All her songs are slow plodding and boring because that's just how her voice is. Butterflies, Velvet Elvis, Wonder Woman, High Horse, Dime Store Cowgirl, Biscuits, Pageant Material, This Town, Family Is Family, My House, Blowin' Smoke, Follow Your Arrow, Stupid, Love Is A Liar. These are all at least mid-tempo, some definitely being uptempo. And you don't have to like Kacey, but you can't deny that her Grammy's were very well deserved. She's had one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year of any genre and has built such a massive fanbase that includes many people who claim to hate country music, all without a lick of radio support. You've gotta admit that that is pretty incredible. Like I said, you don't have to like her, but she is anything but undeserving of the awards she won last night.

Those are not upbeat songs.. Her voice just can't do upbeat..
I am talking like:
Gunpowder and Lead - Miranda Lambert Good Girl- Carrie Underwood Lie- The band Perry
those kind of upbeat songs.. Her voice is like not capable of delivering that kind of style which is sad cause those are my favorite type of songs usually.. Her voice just doesn't have any edge or Oomph to it at all.. Her album would put me to sleep if I was driving long distance..
