This song did have to grow on me, but boy did it ever. Not my absolute fave from the album, but I'm very glad it has gone to #1. The first solo female #1 of 2020 and it's only February! Excited to see what that means as the year progresses.

Sorry for double posting but I just have to say if Maren gets #1 for a second week next week on Billboard she will have the biggest hit of the new decade so far. I would be interested if any of you would like to see a thread of the biggest hits of the 2020's where I would rank them and update it every time a new peak is set? I would base the rankings on weeks at #1, peak position, then weeks on the chart, then if there is a tie there I'd go top 10 weeks, followed by top 40 weeks. If you all would be interested I could start the thread tonight but since there have only been about 5-6 songs that have peaked that's all that I'll have until another song peaks. Let me know what you guys think of the idea.

Up to #22 on the Hot 100 and #3 on Country Airplay. I think when this hits #1 it'll have a good shot at being top 20 on the Hot 100, which is pretty incredible. Moves to #18 on the Hot 100 this week.

This was released in August 2019 for radio play. What takes her so long for singles to rise up the charts? Didn’t this happen for girl as well??

Just heard it for the first time and I loved it. I hope it becomes a Hot 100 Top 10 hit

Didn’t this happen for girl as well?? “Girl” took a bit longer (started in late January, peaked half a year later). This is doing fine. Not every female single is going to be number one in 3 months like a Carrie song (and even Carrie’s songs have been moving a bit slower). I90 percent of the time a country song gets to number one before week 15, it’s by an A-lister.

Are they going to push for two weeks? I really hope so. I love this song and am glad its going to be remembered as her biggest hit to date.

It’s sad to say but female singles climbing the charts fast is extremely rare anymore. About the only time it happens is when a female is a featured artist on a single. I wish female artists got more airplay time like they did back in the 90’s.

It’ll be #1 again this week but then Sam will overtake next week and Jimmie the week after. I was personally hoping for 3 weeks but considering how rare it is for a female to hit #1 these days, anything more than a week at the top is already a huge win in my book.

Jimmie is going for max spins this week or at least that’s what I thought I seen in the weekly newsletters last night. If that’s the case he won’t get #1 at all.

Nope #1 push starts Feburary 23rd Yeah I see it now. I was half asleep last night when I saw the the ad in Country Aircheck. I was hoping Sam or Kane would’ve blocked him. Preferably Kane since I like Homesick more.

They’re pushing for max spins through Sunday, which means they’re pushing for a second week on Billboard. I hope it happens!

Since this is about to peak for good after tomorrow (after a fantastic run), I wanted to ask and see what you guys thought the next single will be??
A part of me originally was thinking The Feels would be next. I thought it would be a cute way especially with her baby being born soon and it IS a viable choice itself. I also thought about All My Favorite People but I don’t think they’d make it a single right off the bat after the baby.
However, there’s something we should also note...To Hell & Back was recently added to Apple Music Today’s Country playlist. Album tracks rarely ever get added to the playlist so that makes me think it will be the next single.

Certainly "GIRL" and "The Bones" aren't ballads like "To Hell and Back" (which is a fantastic song), but I really feel like an uptempo such as "All My Favorite People" is the most obvious choice. Maren has a few options with this next single. She could launch herself into true A-List status by releasing something safe (AMFP, The Feels) and watch it fly up the charts, or she could do something more risky like "To Hell and Back" and really focus on quality. Regardless, she's in a good place, but I'd prefer to see her pander to radio just a LITTLE (as much as I hate saying those words) to launch her into the level of superstardom she is just moments away from. A quick streaming check on Spotify: of all the non-promo singles/songs on the album, "A Song For Everything" has by far the most streams with 12M, followed by AMFP with 8M and The Feels with 7M. "To Hell and Back" is in 5th place.

I never expected "The Bones" to turn into the huge smash that it did and be her biggest hit when it was first selected so I could totally be proven wrong again here, but "To Hell & Back" just doesn't strike me as being a strong choice for a single. I just don't see that one lighting the charts on fire and continuing the red hot momentum she has right now.

A part of me is wondering if they’re going with To Hell & Back next because The Bones was very poppy. So now they felt like it’d be better to go with something more Country sounding?
Either way, if confirmed, I do think it is a risky choice. I am somewhat concerned with what this will do to her current momentum. She has the potential to be a powerhouse and it is crucial that they pick the correct choice and cement it (which to me, will be an uptempo imo).
The Feels, All My Favorite People, and A Song For Everything are the only remaining tracks on the album I can see doing really well.

All My Favorite People needs to be a single at some point!
With that being said, living in the now, Maren 1000% deserves this number 1. Hope it gets pushed for a second week.
More women at #1 for country radio please!

More women at #1 for country radio please! I'm 99.9% sure "The Bones" has a second week in the bag on both Mediabase and Billboard! On Mediabase it just needs to hold on until tomorrow and "The Bones" is sitting around 600 spins ahead of "Kinfolks" which is at #2. On Billboard it was 4 million ahead of "Kinfolks" in audience and based on the Mediabase updates (the panels are different but Mediabase updates help directionally when thinking about Billboard) that gap shouldn't be close to closing. So in short, you'll get your wish!

“The Bones” absolutely deserves a second week at #1 on Mediabase. It’s not only selling well and a cross-format hit — it’s also the #1 testing song on Mediabase callout this week.
Maren was ahead of Sam by 4.0 million in total Billboard audience last week but “Kinfolks” did gain 3.3 million this week on Mediabase, while Maren pretty much broke even. I think Maren will hold on for Billboard but I don’t think it’s 100% certain.

Yeah I agree sabre14 that it is not 100% locked that Maren Morris gets the second week on Billboard as I have just under a million in audience gap between Maren Morris and Sam Hunt as of today, my gut tells me Maren Morris squeaks out the #1 but it will probably be close. I do hope Maren Morris gets the second week, but I also hope Sam Hunt gets the next two weeks after this week since "Kinfolks" has been a pretty big hit as well (up to #34 on the Hot 100) especially given how the songs underneath Sam Hunt and Maren Morris are pretty underwhelming hit wise ("Make Me Want To" and "Dive Bar" not cracking the Top 60 yet on the Hot 100 despite both being Top 5 on country radio).

Keep in mind because Garth is impossible, Dive Bar isn't available on most streaming services, or itunes, which means that it's hot100 rating is basically all radio

(tried to get a good version of that GIF where she goes "YES!" in the audience and points to the Oscars stage but couldn't find a good one so this was the closest agreement GIF I could find) As for the next single, "The Feels" seems likely to be next but idk how I feel about that at radio. Then again I'd have to listen to it again to be sure since it's been awhile.
