Love, love, love everything about the past week. This album is an absolute masterpiece and deserves every bit of this. It’s about time the world hears of Kacey! I foresee some huge things in the future for this girl... I jumped out of my seat when they announced “Golden Hour” - such a pleasant surprise! The “Rainbow” video is stunning, and the song is growing on me with every listen. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, “Rainbow” speaks to me on a very deep level. I’m glad the world is getting to hear it!!!

I am really hoping the 2019 Grammys will do for Kacey Musgraves what the 2015 C.M.A. Awards did for Chris Stapleton: make her a bona fide superstar and hopefully score #1 country singles. I swear, my heart will stop if Musgraves manages to top the country singles chart.

I smell possible CMA EOTY noms... definitely makes her a FVOTY contender, but I see 2019 being pretty huge for this girl, the sky’s the limit!

The music video is gorgeous, the Grammys performance was gorgeous, this song is gorgeous (and it's middle of the pack among Golden Hour tracks for me, but only continues to grow on me), and I hope all of this perfect storm of events for her leads to this actually turning into a country radio hit. I'm cautiously optimistic about the chances of "Rainbow" at least making a nice dent in the charts and being her biggest hit since her first two radio releases thanks to all the goodwill and buzz around her right now. I'm excited to see where her career goes from here, because she definitely deserves to be a much bigger star than she currently is and hopefully the sweep at the Grammys helps catapult her to where she should already be.

That's 3x better than some of the first week sales from any of the new generic male radio darlings. At some point I have to believe radio will stop and think, "hmm, I wonder if there is any money in this artist for us too?"

Radio is definitely playing "Rainbow" out of the gate. Kacey's got over 2.0 million of Mediabase audience this week, so it should see a good jump on Billboard Airplay tomorrow (#58 this past week). 14 stations have accounted for double-digit spins, including big markets like Boston, Chicago, Charlotte, Seattle, Atlanta, Washington DC and Houston. Our station added it this week as well, which was a pleasant surprise (we added "Every Little Honky Tonk Bar" too).

Kacey Musgraves and George Strait radio's going in a better direction. This is how I feel about both Kacey Musgraves and George Strait off to great starts. How long it will last who knows, but I'm optimistic.

But you also have to keep in mind the label hasn't sent it too radio yet. Or at least last time I checked they haven't sent it yet.

It's crazy how none of her other singles from this album didn't even chart. Hopefully this does well.

The money wasn't with radio, but the album was gonna be successful regardless of radio getting on board. Also this statement is technically false as "Butterflies" was on the airplay chart for a couple weeks and peaked at #56.

I'm thinking of #50 being the cutoff for the airplay chart, my bad.

They looked at that song as a FGL song with Bebe Rexha just attached. Also Bebe Rexha is a pop singer so her having success doesn't really help the women in country radio problem (I think it makes it worse as they can just use the female pop singers that are on the collaboration singles, as the token female slot with radio). Also for every 1 women that is successful in country music there is at least 6 to 7 men that are successful.

Anyone else absolutely gobsmacked that the latest issue of Country Aircheck briefly mentions that the Grammy Awards took place last week but NOWHERE does it acknowledge Kacey’s multiple victories, including Album of the Year? Even with all the adds and airplay received by “Rainbow,” not even a name-check. It’s as though they want to be willfully blind to her mainstream impact despite that fact that an album from THEIR format won the biggest music award of the year.
