It seems like this song has been out for an eternity! Hopefully most people haven't listened to it already, so it feels fresh for them. I love this guy's music so it would be nice if he managed to take off in the mainstream.

Was expecting this to happen sooner or later with it already blowing up as big as it has. Nothing about this really excites me much, but it's pleasant enough and he's got a nice voice. Watching the music video for this was kind of a trip because the voice you hear on this song doesn't really match the image of Parker McCollum. In other words, the song sounds like a typical Texas country tune but Parker doesn't look your average Texas country recording artist. Not a bad thing though as I think he's pretty cute, just an observation.

I’ve heard this numerous times on The Highway already so this makes me really happy. Very refreshing song, although nothing groundbreaking.

I know it's been out in Texas and at Sirius/XM too, but a huge population has never heard of this song or Parker. MCA Nashville purposely released it to other platforms before giving it a terrestrial radio release. |

Oh, he's really good-looking  Anyways, I really like this song. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's damn refreshing and I like his voice. (PS. this was my first listen of this song, as I don't have access to the Highway or any Sirius stations; I just have the mainstream.) |

Thought Probably Wrong was pretty authentic Texas country rock. Hope he finds with his new album the right balance between mainstream and his own artistic values.

He’s cute, I think his voice sounds horrible though.

His voice and the song don't really do anything for me. It's not outright bad, though. And he is very cute.

Parker McCollum is the next On The Verge artist according to one of his recent retweets. I really enjoy this song so that is great news to hear!

I like OTV when it is like this or it is too another female artist. Aka giving it to male songs that would have been hits anyway (see Luke Combs, Sam Hunt, this, maybe Dustin Lynch when he got it with "Where It's At") or too female artists who definitely deserve it more than men given how much they struggle already at radio

This one didn’t really need that but I guess anything helps? I actually prefer it if the person doesn’t need it. If it was some random dude that nobody cared about it would be disappointing but it seems like people really like Parker so I am glad he will most likely have a hit here! I feel like the people with some hype behind them deserve it because people have been liking them. |

he has been my favorite singer these past few weeks. Love "Hell of A Year" and "Meet Me In The Middle". "I Can't Breathe" is really good as well.
I like "Pretty Heart" but not as much as his older stuff. "Like A Cowboy" is really good though so I am excited for him to release an album! I am rooting for him to hit big at mainstream radio

I know this one's already in the top 40 on Billboard, but "Pretty Heart" finally enters the Mediabase top 50 with a bullet of 206.

I thought this was a hit for quite some time after hearing it for months on The Highway. I was really quite surprised at its chart position, but see the add date was actually just last week. Should climb fairly quickly (in the 2020 era) in the top portion of the chart.

Early Texas airplay helped this one at the start but it's been doing great after it impacted. Already at #33 on the rolling chart -- a month after impacting. For a debut (mainstream) single, that's rare these days.
It definitely appears this will be a hit nationwide for Parker.

Just to give y’all some context of just how popular Parker is down here in Texas...he’s one of the first artists to announce some shows next month at an outdoor venue and they are spacing out four shows over two days at a local venue here in Austin (social distancing taken into account of course). The ticket prices for the pit alone are $75/each and from the looks of it all four shows are all but sold out. |

I really wanted to like this one but I just don’t. The way he says “he-eee-aaarr-eee-aarrrrt” is so annoying.

Enters the Mediabase Top 30 at #30 with a bullet of 250. Like sabre14 said this is shaping up to be a hit on radio and I am actually kind of excited as while this song is nothing groundbreaking it is very solid and pleasant to listen to on country radio. |

I'm not too familiar with Parker McCollum just yet, but this is a really great song and it makes me want to check out more of his stuff. Maybe one of these days when I have some free time.. |
