This song is projected to hit the top 40 this week on Mediabase (should be at #36 or #37 depending if he passes Old Dominion) after last week hitting the top 40 already on Billboard.
However, I wonder how much higher this is going to get since the hook is literally "I'd burn this whole town down if it wasn't for my Momma's House" . With what is going on right now in the country and the riots a song mentioning burning something down even if it is hypothetical might not be something country radio wants to convert very much. Very interested to see how this song goes now that it is Top 40 on both charts.

No posts in over 3 months. Might as well give this song an update.
Up to #21 on Mediabase tonight with a bullet of 208 and I expect this to enter the Top 20 next week when "Be A Light" falls below. This song is definitely looking like a future #1 contender as "Momma's House" has really hit its stride since hitting the Top 30. That being said this song has been a total snoozer of a hit commercially as it is barely in the Top 500 all genre on iTunes which is very underwhelming.

the moral of the story: stick in with a song that elicits little interest and eventually if you throw enough time and resources at it, you can have a top 5 hit at least...

Well I was right this was gonna enter the Top 20 this week as it becomes his 8th Top 20 on country radio. But this week at least on Mediabase was not good for "Momma's House" as Dustin lost 15 spins this week. Obviously this week could (and probably will) be a hiccup for "Momma's House" but this week did give me a bit of a pause since it is not the best sign for this song if it struggles in a week where there was a lot of spins available to get with songs from Chase Rice, Ashley McBryde, Thomas & Co, and Keith Urban shedding spins like crazy.

Does anyone else feel like this song is kind of a weak link right now on the chart as this song only gained 52 spins on Mediabase this week only doing better than the freefalling singles and Rascal Flatts in terms of the Top 20 singles. Also ever since hitting the Top 30 this song has never stood out from the crowd in terms of gains. Obviously this can still hit #1 but right now this song is starting to act like a song that would stall out in the teens.

This song could break the chart longevity record if they decide to keep it on radio. I think this past week was 42 weeks on the chart for it. 18 more weeks on and it’ll tie Travis Denning’s #1 “After A Few” at 60 weeks on the chart.

I do think it could break the longevity record but my gosh even though I love this song I am forever pissed they didn't go with "Thinking Bout You" which was connecting so well when it was released.

I could see “Thinking about You” being a fourth single unless they want to go with new material but the album is only a year old this month I believe so it’s possible they go with a fourth single.

It's the obvious choice, but so was "Town Ain't Big Enough". I think they'll run into trouble with Lauren Alaina's team not wanting another competing song at radio unless whatever single she puts out next is already well on its way up the chart. I know we've had this conversation ten times over, but we saw what "What Ifs" did to "Doin' Fine" and the same could be said for "One Beer" to "Getting Good". Nonetheless it could become Dustin Lynch's biggest hit in a while. It sold ridiculously well at release.

Ive been high key obsessed with this for a good month! That chorus is infectious and so fun to sing. When he sings the chorus I’m singing it an octave higher than him and it’s to much fun. I hope this starts picking up steam soon.

I still think it was a misfire to not release "Thinking Bout You" initially as a single. I get why UMG wouldn't want it as a single since that would have meant 3 Lauren Alaina singles at once, but that song had such a strong sales/streaming prescence when it was released I feel like country radio would have jumped on it right away.

Thinking 'Bout You (ft. MacKenzie Porter) out tomorrow. Not too surprising if we are only talking about Canadian radio. Both Momma's House (19wks 35 peak) and Mackenzie's Drinking Song (23wks 5 peak) are done in Canada. I'll be happy to see TBY as the next single, with either Alaina or Porter, but his chart runs in the US are just frustratingly long.

I’m hoping it is the end of the road for “Momma’s House” soon. It has never really been one of my favorites and not a super strong streamer or seller.
Here is the version of “Thinking ‘Bout You” with MacKenzie Porter:

Beautiful. It will be nice to hear Mackenzie's voice more on radio. Momma's House is a good song, but please move on now.

MacKenzie Porter had some pretty big high heels to fill by replacing Lauren Alaina's vocals on this song, but I gotta say that she totally delivered here, and she was probably a good fit for the song as the two versions are honestly really similar. If Lauren's team didn't want the song to interfere with her own chart run, I get it, but it'd be a slam dunk hit for her as others have said. That said, if the MacKenzie version is intended to be his next release to radio, then I predict it'll be a huge hit still and that would be a nice 'get' for her as she looks to raise her profile beyond just being a Canadian country star. We've seen from the likes of Cassadee Pope and Lindsay Ell that a high profile duet hit with a male artist doesn't necessarily change things with country radio with respect to a solo career, but this could definitely be a big win for MacKenzie Porter all the same.

Seeing the discussion above, I selfishly hope the Porter version goes to Canada and they still opt to push Alaina in the US. "Momma's House" is far enough from peaking that it could give "Getting Over Him" ample time to get its footing (it's been climbing well) before add date, should they go that route. I have always been of the opinion that I don't care how many duets Lauren has in her #1 catalog as long as it counts. I get that having her name on 2 singles at once has caused her solo efforts to die in the 20s more than once now, but maybe it would be different this time.
Regarding "Momma's House", I have been surprised at how little this has burned on me. It has a different enough sound compared to the rest of the songs on the radio right now that it hasn't become a station flipper like many of Lynch's previous singles were for me.

Sorry to double post, but I cannot believe it took him over 6 months to move from #21 to #9. I get that Dustin Lynch is not an A-lister nor is this the hottest selling song of the season, but wow is this moving like molasses. And it will crawl to #1 and become the longest trip to #1 unless Tenille Arts beats him by a week.

i've been pretty much anti Dustin Lynch ever since that day he whined about not being up for whatever awards were at that time a few years ago. That and his songs to me have been complete duds since then also....until i heard the Lauren Alaina version of Thinking Bout You. The most instant thing he's ever put out imo. That should have absolutely been the single instead of Momma's House. But here we are, and if Lauren can't be on any radio version of this for whatever the reason, I am a fan of Mackenzie Porter so i will be happy to support this version as well. I have a feeling she's kind of on the same trajectory as Lindsay Ell, which is sad since i really like them both and would love to see them become US staples, but, it is what it is and hopefully she can at least get her name out more with this song, which i believe will become a #1 later this year or early next year if they release it to radio. Which i have to assume is why they decided to re-record the song.
Lets hope Momma's House dies very soon so this can get going.

The official music video makes me think the MacKenzie Porter version is the upcoming single in all places.
There are plenty of YouTube comments asking what happened to Lauren Alaina... which, I agree, if you are an average person, you aren't going to come to the conclusion that "Well, Lauren Alaina's label UMG didn't want to have her name on too many songs being pushed to radio at the same time, so they got another female vocal!". It almost makes it seem like something happened between the two of them where they didn't want to share the song anymore.
Anyway....... a great Dustin Lynch song/single nonetheless.

What I find funny is that the Lauren Alaina single is actually outselling the MacKenzie Porter version on iTunes despite the latter being a new release. Like it seems clear to me the intrigue and interest is with the Lauren Alaina version. Also it is important to note Lauren Alaina commented on Dustin Lynch's Instagram so I don't think there's any bad blood between them http://instagram.com/p/CMlg1XalT2b

Between the new recording and it having a music video now, all signs are pointing at it being his next single and that has me stoked. I always liked "Momma's House" but I am beyond tired of it by now and cannot wait for it to leave the charts and be replaced by "Thinking 'Bout You."
ETA: Also, yes, Lauren even explained on the IG post that her version was swapped out because of label politics and had nothing to do with any falling out between them, which is what I'm sure some of the casual fans who don't follow the radio game might've thought.

"laurenalaina - I’m so excited for the two of you!! For those of you asking why I’m not on the song anymore, my label didn’t want me to have two duets at country radio at one time. I talked to Dustin about how to fix it, and this was the best option. He and I both wanted this song to still get the chance at country radio that it deserved. I just, unfortunately, couldn’t be the girl for the job. This wasn’t Dustin removing me from the song in any way, shape, form or fashion. This was a way for everyone to win and @mackenziepmusic to put her magic on it. Besides, isn’t having TWO versions of a smash song to listen to better than one? Let’s celebrate this new version ❤️"
Glad she clarified. I think all of us here knew this was the reason, but I think it's good for the public to know.

I love Lauren’s Instacomment. I still think Mercury is pathetic. I don’t see any problem with two duets being out at once. Just like Lauren , MacKenzie voice sounds great on this.

This rarely happens nowadays but it BBR has decided to not push "Momma's House" to #1 and instead has sent "Thinking 'Bout You" (feat. MacKenzie Porter) to country radio today. It was looking like just a couple weeks ago they had #1 hopes in mind but that does it for "Momma's House."
This now paves the way for "Somebody Like That" by Tenille Arts to take #1 on at least Mediabase by April 25th; then Big Machine will push "How They Remember You" by Rascal Flatts.
Jake Owen's "Made for You" has soared to the top 5 as well, but most of that is natural -- it's a huge radio hit for Jake.
