DFABH is up for “Duo Video of The Year” at the CMT Awards. I would love to see them win this.

What is going on here? Why haven't they announced the next single? Way to throw away momentum.

Maddie & Tae need a 3-4 month break after “Die from a broken heart” because this is such a huge hit it’s going to continue to get a lot of airplay. Releasing a new single right away will almost guarantee that it will struggle to climb. I hope they can string more hits together. This isn't "The Bones" tho. This has been at radio since May 2019; that's over a year now. I have no doubt that the second this peaks it'll nosedive right off the face of the earth, so they can't afford to take a break like that. The best bets imo for single 3 are "Bathroom Floor" and "I Don't Need to Know." I called it. My station is still playing this song every 2 hours....A new single released a month ago would have been a huge mistake.

Yeah I don’t expect anything to be released until November. I wouldn’t even be shocked if they just waited until the new year if this song continues to be strong in recurrent play. There’s no point in them wasting their resources promoting a new single that radio won’t be giving any significant spins to for months to come.

Yup, "Die from a Broken Heart" is still the second-most played recurrent right now (only behind "One Margarita") with roughly top 10 airplay (if it was still charting on Billboard Country Airplay). No need to rush the next single at all.

I'm dead at the fact that DFABH will, when it's all said and done, be the Maddie & Tae single at radio for a year and a half. What a freakin' smash that took so embarrassingly (for radio) long to get real airplay.
Bathroom Floor in 2021. No need to push a new single near Christmas.

I don’t know, i don’t see a reason to delay the next single any longer, its been a few months now, and its pretty likely the next single will be a slow mover anyways, although hopefully not as slow as this one was, but still it would prob be awhile before (hopefully) bathroom floor would see daytime spins anyways so whats the difference if they send it now or in another 2 months or so? It would likely be the same situation for the song, i would think?

I wonder if how slow "To Hell & Back" is going for Maren Morris is causing UMG to be gun shy for when the next single is gonna go to radio as "Die From A Broken Heart" is such a staple for country radio like "The Bones" was for Maren Morris and Maddie & Tae have less momentum than Maren Morris ultimately and I imagine UMG doesn't want to fuck up the next single choice since it has taken so long for Maddie & Tae to have a hit.
Just a conspiracy I thought of.

UMG has let all the momentum from “DFABH” run out. I just can’t understand the holdup on a 2nd single.

The ladies tweeted 10 days ago that a new single (most likely the first from a new album) is coming soon.

Nah, I mean it has been over 4 months since "Die From A Broken Heart" and honestly releasing another single from the album after that song peaked realistically they would probably at best be nearing the Top 40 or what we are seeing from the latest singles from Chris Janson and LoCash where both are spending forever in the high 40s and low 50s doing nothing. Also said single would have little fan fare since more than likely hardly anyone would know it was a single. Where as a lead single there is potential interest and intrigue from the jump and radio tends to jump onto a lead single compared to a deeper album single.

I wouldn't really blame them if they moved on to another album. I think there's always a struggle for new artists to survive their sophomore album, and since this was a huge hit, might as well not risk it with another single. The lead for the next album should receive extra push from radio just for being a first single...hopefully. Plus, where they released EPs first before we ever got the album, it feels like this album, despite "Die From a Broken Heart" only recently becoming a hit, is old news. And I'd like to have a third album on lock, too.

Yeah, as weird as it is on the surface level to have them potentially moving on from this album only 9 months after release, if you think about it this era is technically going on three years old... "Friends Don't" was released in the spring of 2018. And then because of the EPs, 2/3 of the album is nearly 2 years old, including the song that is most hyped about as the best option for the next single ("Bathroom Floor"). This era has been sooooooo drawn out that the album release isn't as adequate of a starting point as it usually would be.
So I agree with everybody. It's sad that the era might be ending after only two singles, but I'm also super excited to potentially get new Maddie & Tae music!!!! I think after the success of DFABH, hype for a brand new lead single will definitely be there in a way that it wasn't when they tried to start their second era on the heels of "Sierra"... Between that lead-single hype, and the fact that women in general have been having more success for the past year, I'm pretty optimistic about what a new era could do for them!
Especially because 2021 is fixing to give us new eras from Maren Morris, Carly Pearce, maaaaaaybe Kelsea Ballerini later in the year, probably Carrie Underwood, and maybe a couple others I'm forgetting... It feels to me like 2021 might continue to be good to women. I worry that Maddie & Tae might get lost in the shuffle if they try to force a 2-year-old song onto radio playlists while all these other women are having momentum with brand new music.

Probably a smart move to move onto new music. Would have loved “Bathroom Floor” as a single, but since it took so long for them to regain momentum, I’m sure their team is planning their next move carefully. These girls are quite buzz worthy too. Their streaming numbers are terrific. “Friends Don’t” wasn’t even a radio hit, but did very well from a streaming standpoint (it’s beyond gold eligible.)

Let's hope they decided to move on because they already have several 'hit single' songs ready to record and they are getting ready to release something in the next month or so.

Yeah, the more I think about them moving on to something brand new next, the more I like that idea. It frustrated me initially when Carly Pearce did it (because it meant great songs got left on the table), but it seems to be working well for her so far and with how slow the charts move nowadays combined with a higher focus on streaming, we'll probably see country artists start to cycle through albums with less terrestrial single releases more often (with the exception of the big names like Luke Combs who can bang out 4 big hits in a calendar year). It's probably a good move for Maddie & Tae at this stage to strike with something fresh and hot, to capitalize on their momentum and launch their third era off on a better foot than their sophomore era started.

I agree with this now that it's sat with me more. I also agree that the combination of country radio moving at snail's pace while streaming moves at lightning speed means that we are probably going to start seeing 2 singles from an album become the norm. I think the current dichotomy of radio vs. streaming is really going to haunt country radio. Who wants to hear "7 Summers" on the radio when they got burned out on it after its monster release many months ago and could listen to 29 other brand new Wallen songs on Spotify instead?
Maddie & Tae have a lot of growth potential. Their streaming has ALWAYS been strong - they would indeed be wise to move on and put out something fresh. Hopefully it'll be a lead single that leads directly to a full length album rather than the double EP route again (though it seems like Mercury is using this more and more as of recent, see: Lauren Alaina).

Apologies, but I felt like this was worth the double post. They're totally putting out a lead single next.

A smart way for people to get more singles from an album is like what Ingrid did with Lady Like. Release a very short album followed by a deluxe release a little later with the deluxe edition being about as many songs as a normal album. An album just getting two singles is just so weird to me. It’s completely justified for them rn tho.

It’s completely justified for them rn tho. I understand the need for this, but please no, I hate the re-releases when the original album is super short. I am also not a huge fan of the 3 EPS to album route, but if that is what they need to do so be it. Also if we are going to get shorter albums I hope we can get back to releases every 18 months to 2 years, instead of 3 or 4 like they did between debut and sophomore album.

Idk if this is a good example because "Lady Like" isn't making big moves on the country charts thus far and even if it does eventually crawl its way to being a hit, it's going to take the better part of 2021 and I doubt they release anything else from her debut album after it, even with there being a re-issue adding bonus songs. It could possibly happen, but with how long it'll take for Ingrid to get "Lady Like" up the charts, I feel like it's unlikely. I also hate the practice of re-issuing albums shortly after their initial release just to tack on an extra couple songs, as tryexp expressed above.

I also hate the practice of re-issuing albums shortly after their initial release just to tack on an extra couple songs, as tryexp expressed above. Yeah I get that. I was only comparing the Lady Like release for the concept. I’m not a huge fan of re releases either, but with how quick everyone wants new music compared to how slow the charts move that might be the only option for newer artists to have an extended album era. I just feel like when you end an album after two singles there are always songs that could’ve been huge. I felt this way with both Carly Pearce albums with IMNWW and IWABLT. Although I figure the main reason the sophomore album was cut short was due to her personal life.
