Obvious choice
If you're a guy, you can do what Luke C did and hold the obvious single (beautiful crazy) till later in the albums run to prolong the albums life, while still having traction at radio...but for Maren/women can't really take that risk, and assume radio will play something else.

It wasn't the obvious choice to me. I thought they were going to go with, "All My Favorite People." This is a fantastic song, but I am worried how it will do on radio.

The Highway has been playing for this for several weeks - it's easily one of my favorites from Maren and I don't think it sounds out of place at all on country radio. That said, I did expect All my Favorite People as the next single, but I am happy either way.

Not surprised at all, but the album has much better options in my opinion.
The Bones is not a bad song, but is kinda bland... I usually prefer Maren’s music with a bit more of an edge to it.

I’m surprised they’re going with this considering it was already pushed to HAC. But I’m glad they’re doing this, this will be huge especially if they have plans to push it to Pop too. I hope Country radio is going to take on this quicker than they usually do with female artists.
I am 100% confident they’ll go with All My Favorite People after. There’s no way they’re going to miss out on that smash. Hopefully The Feels will be fourth, I can see that one being a crossover hit like this one. I also want A Song For Everything but I don’t see them doing a fifth single. Ugh.

I think it was best to go with "The Bones" for now, because "All My Favorite People" (at least for me) sounds like more of a summer single. By the time "Bones" peaks it could be as late as March or April, which is prime time to release summer smashes like what I hope AMFP is.

Still love this (as I do most of the album) but a little disappointed that they're releasing it to country radio. I was expecting a different single since this one was being pushed at HAC, and I think "All My Favorite People" and "A Song for Everything" are the two most obvious hits for country radio. I think AMFP would've been the best option for the second single, especially with Bros Osborne's latest single fizzling out and with how well their recent duet w/ Dierks Bentley did. Rooting for "The Bones" to be another big hit for her though.

I want “Good Woman” as a single before they move to a new album and if be happy!
I like this choice though, in my top 3 of the album.

YESSSS!!!! Best news I’ve heard all day. This is the surefire smash of the album and I can’t wait to see it elevate her career even further. I expected AMFP or ASFE to be the next single, but I’m so glad they went with this being that it’s becoming a hit on HAC and potentially CHR soon. I could definitely see this dominating the airwaves late this fall across multiple formats.

Safest choice but a good choice nonetheless. I hope this somehow becomes another #1 hit for her somewhere.

I thought AMFP would be next, but I'm glad this one is going for adds for here. Hopefully another number 1 smash for her

I had a feeling this may happen when they scrapped sending it to pop. I figured they want to send it to both formats at the same time to maximize impact.
I, for one, am pumped. While “A Song for Everything” and “All My Favorite People” are more radio-friendly, this is a far superior song. I am stoked to see this one really take off. I expect another #1 for her.

I actually think this is a good choice for Country radio and I think it will be another #1 for her and a big hit. Its clearly connecting on many levels already, and while it does lean a little on the Pop side, it still will fit the country format these days. I like the song too, though nothing this era has been able to touch the 1-2 punch of "My Church" and "80s Mercedes".

I hope this can climb fast. Not my favorite choice but I suppose it makes the most sense. I, along with many others, was hoping for AMFP, ASFE, and The Feels to make it to radio, so unless GIRL does 5 singles, one of them will have to budge. I do think this will climb faster than "GIRL", though. I might've not selected this to follow "GIRL" as it's a mid-tempo following a mid-tempo.

Have to echo the sentiment of being a little worried about this being picked. I would much rather a more radio friendly pick first before diving into the more not-so-obvious picks, especially coming after "GIRL," which absolutely was not something country is itching to play right now. I personally would have went with "All My Favorite People" first and perhaps not even attempted this at country at all given it's much more in tune with the styles of the ACs and pop, but hopefully with some luck and a strong push, this can do well here. I want “Good Woman” as a single before they move to a new album and if be happy! Taste!

The Highway has been playing this since the album came out and even more than I've heard them play "GIRL". This is pretty good though, but I agree that "Good Woman" needs to be a single, though I don't see it happening. Prob my favorite from the album. I could see that being a big wedding song.

So does TB count as a HAC crossover since it's Top 20 there before being serviced to Country radio? When was the last time THAT happened?

Meant To Be was already charting on both Pop and HAC before it went to Country. Maybe it counts but maybe it doesn’t because it wasn’t from a Country artist, rather Pop instead.

If everything (Pop, Country, HAC airplay, sales, and most importantly streams) aligns right I think this can contend for the top 15 or even top 10 on the Hot 100 somewhere down the line. :)

This is already Top 50 on Pop without an adds date. An impressive feat for someone who doesn’t have much history at Pop besides The Middle.
Maren also said on Twitter that the music video will be coming in a few days!

I’ve been blasting this since April. Can’t believe this could blow up. I guess I’ll re-add this back to my playlist.

Video was basically a home footage of Maren and Ryan having their vacation in Hawaii. Kinda cute but boring ngl.
