Ooooh this is a big risk, a good one imo, but a risk none the less. Wonderful song, I'm partial to the acoustic version myself.

This is a pretty song, but it doesn't really sound like a hit to me. Not too optimistic about her breaking through because there doesn't seem to be much interest in her ("Somebody's Daughter" may not have even charted if it hadn't been selected for OTV). I'd like to see this do well, but there's a lot of factors working against her unfortunately.

The song is OK but I can’t stand her voice. I think she is going to have trouble breaking through.

The song is OK but I can’t stand her voice. I think she is going to have trouble breaking through. Took the words right out of my mouth. Her voice honestly reminds me a bit of Raelynn with the very heavy twang that sounds extra polarizing. If "Somebody's Daughter" with OTV boost couldn't even make Top 25 (I am about 99% sure that "Somebody's Daughter" missed the Top 25 on both charts) than I don't see this doing much beyond scraping the Top 50.

This song is beautiful, but I can’t see this doing anything tbh, considering how country radio works and the fact that her OTV song wasn’t big at all. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

This is the best option. “White Horse” has the same style production that I believe killed “Somebody’s Daughter”. This is one of those songs that stops a room. And the production is weirdly perfect for radio considering the content of the song.
I think if she has any chance at breaking out beyond what she already has, this is the best option out of the currently released songs. I also LOVE this song and love Tenille. Rooting hard for this.

To me songs like this are the point of country music. I wouldn't want every song on the radio to be this, and I wouldn't want every song on my playlist to be this either.....but their has to be a place for it

Yesssssss! I’ve loved this song since I first heard it (and love both versions) so I’m excited about it getting an official push. I agree that the production is just right for radio without overpowering the song and obscuring the message. And I totally get that her voice is an acquired taste for some and it will be an uphill climb for this song to break through but I choose to remain cautiously optimistic for now.

This is a really nice song, but man, her voice is just painfully bad. This would likely have been a tough sell at radio anyways, but as is I can't see it doing much.

This was just sent to country radio. This song is fabulous. I think "White Horse" should've been her debut but at this point, Sony knows that it'll be an uphill climb getting Tenille a hit. They're just going to release the best quality song in this case. Her music is not really what works at mainstream country radio these days and I can see her voice being polarizing to some. I personally don't have a problem with it and I think her voice is less polarizing on this one than "Somebody's Daughter." Here's hoping this can at least make a run into the top 40.

Simplistic but great music video for a beautiful song. So many female artists are sending such great stuff to country radio right now and I really hope that radio will play at least some of them.

The video is absolutely gorgeous. Currently obsessed with this.
This got 25 adds on impact day so I’m at least somewhat optimistic!

This one won't do anything, unfortunately. Hasn't cracked the top 60 on Billboard and with the start of Q1, I doubt this will be a priority for the label. I didn't expect it to do well but I was hoping it at least make a run into the top 50.

Even though this song was totally ignored in our market, her native Canada remains on board with her music as this song is currently top 10 up there, her third in a row. Despite her success there, I've seen nothing about an album release as of yet. Hopefully they at least drop one up there soon, because it seems like she's really catching on well in Canada.

MR Two of my favourite songs of the year, I’d be so okay with that 😍 I don't think Tenille is going to be winning anything here, but "Somebody's Daughter" won Song, Single, and Video of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards, so there could be hope for it up there.

It's great Tenille has gotten success in her native Canada but the benefit she has up there is the Canadian radio law, which states at least 35% of artists played must be from Canada (the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission). Canadian audience is about 1/10th of the US audience, as well. Lindsay Ell is another artist who has scored hits in Canada over the past few years, even if US radio took much longer to get going.
I love Tenille as an artist (her style is distinct) but I have doubts she will be a mainstream radio artist here in the US. "Jersey on the Wall" is a great song with a message/story, but I can see corporate radio programmers not giving it the time of day. I wish "White Horse" was her debut single, as much I enjoyed "Somebody's Daughter."

I'm seeing this in the "New and Active" section on the Country Airplay chart, could it still do something? Or does it seem too late?

With Kobe Bryant and his daughter recently passing, this song took on a whole new meaning for me. Definitely found myself getting emotional when the hook comes in one last time before the song ends. That’s what country music is all about, evoking emotion, and this is one of my favorites as a result.

Her voice is still jarring for me and not my cup of tea, but this song definitely has grown on me. I bet had this one been the OTV selection it would have performed much better than 'Somebody's Daughter,' which was just a really bad single.

"Holding Out for the One" has lots of buzz around it and is streaming quite well. They should throw it at radio and see if it sticks. It's freaking catchy.
