I really like the video, I like the mix of concert footage and “party” footage... definitely a video that fits the song and I love watching Carrie enjoy her friends and family!

I guess the video wasn't awful, but I definitely miss when Carrie Underwood was leading the charge with her music videos. She hasn't given us an epic video in like 5 years now. "Southbound" deserved a much more fun and exciting video than a bunch of tour footage with shadow puppet trees and Interstate signs flying over the top of them. They should've just stuck with the lake party scenes and just fleshed that out to make it look like it didn't cost $15 to shoot on somebody's camcorder. Little replay value imo.

Enters the Mediabase Top 30 at #30 gaining 241 spins and over 800k in audience. Not bad considering 2 iHeartMedia debuts from 2 female songs.
I am kind of indifferent about the music video btw. I am not a fan of concert music videos, but I am glad they didn't do only concert footage, and I thought the music video was pretty well shot as well.

Getting to see her tomorrow and the video is like a nice trailer for the show! Glad it's doing okay for her, it may just be fluff but it's catchy fluff and I'm not ready to see her get phased out so whatever helps.

I like the video. It's a nice take on a concert video, infusing a lot of 'candid' footage in with the performance. I think that it fits the song well. The song itself is also doing well, moving 30-29* in week 7, and following a song that did not live up to Carrie's previous chart expectations.

#39 on itunes? I'll take it! Did Love Wins ever get near that high? I always remember it being around 200.

Love Wins was Top 20 when it was released, then Top 20 again after the CMAs, and then was Top 50 a little bit after Christmas after some Today Show(?) segment. The album also had big sales while it was promoted.

I thought the video was great actually, and I really wasn't thinking it would be any different from what they shot. I thought it was a smart move. It's laid back and relatable, and comes off pretty authentic since it features her husband and tour mates. The mix of concert and party footage showed two sides of Carrie. She's a diva on stage (in the best sense of the word) but also that same small-town girl from American Idol.

"Southbound" gained 3 spots this week to #27 gaining over 450 spins and 2580k audience. So yeah, that one dud week aside, this song has really been doing a great job gain wise and I do think this should hopefully bring Carrie Underwood back into the Top 5. She is really overdue.
Sidenote: This song has been a huge grower and I will say for a concert music video they did a solid job for "Southbound".

This is zooming up the charts, just like I thought it would. Up to #20 on Mediabase! Officially a summer jam!

Absolutely the right single choice! Glad to see it doing well and I hope "Drinking Alone" is next.

I’ll wait until this gets to the top 10 before I start getting excited about it... but definitely looking like this is catching on!

Been a pretty solid month of june for southbound. Began the month at #34 on the mb chart, will begin july at #17. On bb, she was at #30 on the june 3 chart, i would imagine will at minimum be 17 come tomorrow, but i think might land a spot or 2 higher, 16 or 15. Here's hoping july is just as kind, as i think it will be important to this song to be top 10 by aug 1 so that it has a shot at the top by labor day. If it keeps going the way it has been, it will be a surefire #1, but i think we have learned with the last 2 singles we can't be certain what radio will do from week to week any longer.

Well this is doing much better than the first two singles minus Cry Pretty's initial hype right?

For some reason this feels like the only true "summer" song this year. There are definitely other songs that are true uptempos that have been sounding good during the summer but this year for some reason seems like there is a lack of summer themed songs, maybe it's just me.

This is very casually sitting at #45 on iTunes all-genre, full price. Happy to see this faring well after the performance of its predecessor.

I hope this becomes her first solo song to peak in the top 40 of the Hot 100 since SITW.

Her last three updates have been fantastic, this song is showing all the signs of a potential smash. It’s gaining eerily rapidly on the airplay charts and is actually selling really well, too... No sign of inflation, seems like legit interest across the board. Kinda thinking I’m on board with saying this should AT LEAST make the top 5, but looking like a #1 at this point...
A tweet from a chart watcher who works in radio (via post at Carriefans.com):
Chris Owens @fiddlesabre “Southbound” by @carrieunderwood is on fire. 140 spins gained today on Mediabase and a bullet of over 700. Soon to get top 10 conversions and this appears to get her back to the top. Top 50 on the all-genre sales chart too. Absolutely been the right choice for the third single.

This is flying up the charts, and it’s well deserved. So glad they went with this as the third single. This is showing all signs of being a #1 for her. I’d expect this to be top 10 in 3-4 weeks time.

I know this was getting a lot of hate as a single, but it was the obvious hit single on the album from the first time I listened. I think it’s much better than the first two singles. Instant hook and relatable, timely lyrics.

Is it doing anything for the album? Not sure about album sales, but Southbound is in the top 50 on iTunes and definitely selling far better than LW and CP. Regardless, this song is zooming up the charts. I see her hitting the top 10 in the next 4-5 weeks. This is acting like a top 5 single, if not a #1.
