We got "Garden Song", but I don't think that's the official radio single.

Well I think this is phenomenal. The lyrics are crushing but the song itself is a lot of fun (I LOVE the horns).
βI wanted to see the world / Then I flew over the ocean / And I changed my mindβ

Great as expected from Bridgers. After her breakout era with Stranger in the Alps, she can only go up, but what I fear is her MB success. She should fare better on BB where the independent stations only on their panel should eat this up, but her label (Dead Oceans) has had less success on MB - "New Birth in New England" was ignored by at least one alt-ier AAA station on MB only, and "Texas Sun" generally wasn't touched by the alt-ier AAA stations with the exception of KGSR. And both songs had to get help from Sirius Spectrum.

Debuts at #36 on Hot Rock Songs. Her second entry there, and first as a lead artist.

It astounds me how much the published panel on MB is still ignoring this. 11 Billboard-only AAA stations have already added this (it's already #35 on Billboard in terms of audience) and yet only 1 station that is on Mediabase's published panel has added this. I know Dead Oceans is a very indie label, but even last year's "Dylan Thomas" and "Ruby" from that label were able to gather a few more MB-published adds..

Officially Bridgers' first top 40 AAA hit on Mediabase. Top 30, here we come! Motion Sickness was a mid-week top 40 AAA hit, and Dylan Thomas peaked just below the top 40 on MB AAA. Both performed significantly better on Billboard, as is this song.

Album's out and while it's not on par with Stranger in the Alps, (in my opinion) it's still worth a listen. This and the last track are the highlights.
This currently has a 3.98 on RYM and a 4.4 on Sputnikmusic, which are pretty good numbers.

I currently prefer her debut, but the highs on Punisher are higher. Bridgers is an amazing writer and possesses a gorgeous voice. My favorites are βChinese Satelliteβ, βMoon Songβ and βGraceland Tooβ.

Listening to the new album now. I loved Garden Song and Kyoto, and so far this albums really nice. I really love Stranger in the Alps, so i hope this can live up to it.

Iβve recently listened to this song a couple times and I really enjoy it. Any chance it can cross over to Alt?

She's signed to Dead Oceans, which is a very indie label, so I don't think they will bother unless it becomes bigger on AAA. Their sister label, Jagjaguwar, sent "Seventeen" by Sharon Van Etten for alt adds, but it barely missed the top 50. |

Music Choice Alt and another Alt added this song yesterday. Is the alt push really happening?
This has already done much better than I thought on AAA with several more mainstream AAAs picking it up (WZEW, KRVB, and Sirius Spectrum to name a few), and Music Choice AAA recently putting it at maximum rotation. Especially given how long it took to take off, which made me feel initially the best it could do was have a performance similar to "Motion Sickness" or "Dylan Thomas". This I believe is Dead Oceans' second song to make Mediabase's top 30 on AAA, the first being "New Birth in New England" by Phosphorescent, another Spectrum-backed song that also took a while to take off, so let's see if it can do better than that. It should, instead of "Lay Your Head on Me", "Don't Let Me Down", "Hometown Heroes", "I Got You" or whatever lame song AAA or Alt are playing.
My next question is, why did radio take so long to latch on to this? Was "Garden Song" really a hinderance? (WXPN was a week late from adds date to start playing it, and Music Choice and The Current were also late due to them still playing "Garden Song") I mean surely, she has more buzz than Devon Gilfillian or Illiterate Light or whatever.

I'll admit that I haven't given much of her music a chance before, but this song is great. Looks like I need to do some digging into past stuff.

I've decided to take on the crazy challenge of listening to this song at least 183 times (its spin count on MB AAA) this week to spite the pop AAAs that refuse to add this. Let's see if I can make it, lol.
EDIT: I managed to give this 183 scrobbles on my Last FM in only two days lol

Ties White Reaper in terms of spins... hopefully this edges them out on the final update.
