Country radio is such a joke. I stop listening to it a couple of years ago because of issues such as how they treat Kacey. Awful.

The way Kacey has become such a global ambassador for country radio without a lick of radio success is nothing short of outstanding. So proud to have stanned her from day 1 :'(

Kacey Musgraves is so talented. This isn’t my favorite song by her but I really hope it does well because she deserves it so much.

"Rainbow" enters the Mediabase Top 40 at #39 with a pretty healthy bullet of 183 which is solid for a song below the Top 30. So Bob Kingsley CT40 spins next weekend.
I think radio is on board with this song for the time being, since Kacey Musgraves has so much hype still and radio at least looks good as they can be playing this song in support of Kacey Musgraves.

I've grown to like this one, but I'm honestly surprised she didn't use the Grammy's as a chance to showcase "High Horse", since that song seemed to have the most critical acclaim and sales/streaming buzz when the album first came out. At first glance it sounds polarizing, but honestly, is it that much different than say the recent tunes from Thomas Rhett or Jordan Davis? Just out of pure interest I would have liked to watch the chart run of that song, since while it certainly has more chance of fizzling out and being polarizing, I think it had a better chance of being a crossover hit or streaming phenomenon.

"Rainbow" was the perfect song for a Grammys performance from the album. The only other contender imo was "Oh, What a World," but the vocoder use on that one would've made it a tougher sell at radio, when the goal was obviously to launch a new single using the hype from a well-received performance and her several award wins. "High Horse" wouldn't have fit nearly as well for her having a "moment" on the Grammys stage, which is what happened with "Rainbow." They played everything perfectly imo from the song choice to the timing of its release to radio to the music video dropping the same time as the Grammys; it was really a perfect storm.

“Rainbow” moves into the Top 40 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart this week. Up from #41 last week. Five weeks on the chart so far.

“Rainbow” moves into the Top 40 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart this week. Up from #41 last week. Five weeks on the chart so far. That's actually really good since this week was so stagnant in terms of movement since no one above song #53 last week went recurrent, so moving up a spot on a week where the charts are so crammed is pretty good. I am still optimistic, spending 5 weeks to get a solid footing into the Top 40 is a great sign, this song got 7 more adds this week which is also great and with so many older and weaker songs ahead of Kacey Musgraves about to give in, the future is bright for "Rainbow".

God this is a beautiful song. Just incredible. That it is but don’t expect it to hit #1 and it’ll definitely struggle to hit Top 10. Why? Consultants and “feedback” surveys and callout scores.

If this came anywhere close to the top 10 it would still be a huge victory for her at least.

This is such a fantastic song and to think that politics could stop this from hitting the top 10 is just ridiculous and just goes to show how sad the state of country radio is.

If you really don’t think that radio has an agenda to punish Kacey for making it on her own......Look no further than The Highway on SiriusXM. That station plays the most non country never heard of artist all day long and they are not playing Rainbow or any song off Golden Hour.
Kacey is the hottest thing in Country music right now and The Highway is suppose to hip......It’s personal .....there is no other explanation.
Ryan Hurd gets played 100 times a day but Kacey gets 0 spins????

I've heard Rainbow several times in the past couple of weeks on The Highway. They've always supported Kacey. When the album came out they played Space Cowboy and Butterflies regularly (Butterflies they kept in rotation for quite a while), and they played High Horse, too.

Drunk Girl - Chris Janson is about the same tempo and they played it a ton.

I will agree in The Highway has played some Kacey but I stand by my statement that in general she is being punished like Stapleton was at the beginning.
All I’m saying is it’s ridiculous to me that unknown artist are getting a ton more spins on the Highway than “Rainbow”.

But I agree their playlist is terrible. They do play every one of Ryan Hurd's songs to death and whoever the hell Brandon Ratcliff is and new country sensation Backstreet Boys (even iTunes has them listed correctly as pop...) But I give them credit for playing this one :)

According to All Access, “Rainbow” and Ryan Hurd’s “Michigan For The Winter” have both been played exactly 62 times the past seven days. During that same seven day span, “Rainbow” is the 7th most played song on The Highway (I guess technically tied for 6th, they have Ryan ahead of her but they are tied in plays).
Artists ahead of Kacey the last seven days on The Highway: Eric Church, Maren Morris, Dan + Shay, Gabby Barrett & FGL. Within 10 spins of Kacey behind her: Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett, Hardy & Chase Rice.

"Rainbow" had a great week this week on Mediabase. Moving up 6 spots from #41 to #35 and gaining 172 spins. Kacey Musgraves has the highest spins gained out of all the songs below the Top 30 besides Eric Church.
Brief note: Tomorrow's update won't be good at all since Kacey Musgraves did lose her CT40 spins this past weekend.
But aside from that small little wrinkle, I am feeling very optimistic about "Rainbow" chances, the sales remain great and radio is clearly interested in this song.

I hope from this point on she becomes a mainstay at country radio. Hopefully this song won’t just be a special case.

It's looking like this may be coming to an end at country radio. I'm hoping that it's just a bump in the road, but it has lost AI on Billboard for the last two weeks, as well as falling 34-38 this week. As well, it has also been losing spins on Mediabase, and is currently sitting at a -132. A big night for Kacey on Sunday could help turn things around, which I'm hoping for. It is only on its 7th week, which normally would mean that it should have a lot of time to turn around, but its chart run has been anything but typical, so I'm not sure what to think here.
