I am a bit conflicted on this situation. On one hand, I love this song and would be elated to see it reach #1. It is such a pretty sounding song and prime Tim.
On the other hand, Lee and Jason both have such big hits on their hands and this one isn’t really on that level so it would make sense if it fell short. Also, as many people have mentioned here time and time again, these big pushes are a bit irritating and I wish they didn’t happen.

I’ve never seen a push for #1 as manipulated as this. This gained 700 spins in 2 days, more than most songs gain in a single week. This still has 1200 spins between it and Lee Brice. This song isn’t even deserving of a #1 peak at the moment, though if the label had waited until Jason, Lee and Jameson were all done, it might have worked.

Garth's push for "Dive Bar" back in February was just as bad, if not worse. I agree that if they had waited a few weeks, this would definitely would have been a Mediabase #1 and maybe Billboard also. Pushing this early, he will be lucky to get Mediabase only.

This is definitely the biggest push we have ever seen. It's comparable to the push "Give It All We Got Tonight" got in May of 2013, where George Strait gained over 1700 spins and 10.0 million in total audience on Mediabase. Tim's though is going to be way bigger.
"I Called Mama's" bullet is currently over 1900 spins and has gained 8.5 million in audience, and it's only Friday. My guess is Tim's bullet is 2500 by Sunday and the audience gained is around 11-12 million. This will get to #1 on Mediabase. I think radio is 100% on board getting Tim there with this one.
I never thought this one felt like a #1 single. Push weeks are determined weeks in advance and this push is also indicative of radio's willingness to be rid of it as quickly as possible, which is always a driving force to push a song, so they can take it out of rotation immediately after it peaks. Waiting another 4-5 weeks to wait its turn was never realistically going to happen.

I'm glad this is very likely going to hit #1 at least on Mediabase as I do quite like the song but hooo doggies, I am at these gains in spins and audience. For the next single, I'd honestly go with "7500 OBO." I haven't heard the album in full (my bad; I tend to fall behind on newer releases), but I did hear 7500 for a recent rankdown and LOVED it to pieces. I think it's one that really sounds like a hit and has a chance to move the needle quite a bit on radio.

Goody. Timmy got #1 at MediaBase. What are we talking about at Billboard? A #2 or #3 peak?:
5 1 TIM MCGRAW I Called Mama 8929 6645 2284 47.95

Tim ends with a peak of #2 on Country Airplay. Hopefully we will get a new single announcement tonight. Would love for him to get that 30th #1 on Billboard before radio phases him out.

I'm really interested to see what Tim and the label decided on for the next single. It looks like it's between "Hard To Stay Mad At", "Good Taste In Women" and "7500 OBO". My guess is "Hard To Stay Mad At".

I'm happy he has another #1 (after so long) but this push leaves a bad taste. He's better than this...

Ugh, that push really taints the whole thing, but I do love this song and am happy for Tim that he got another big hit again after a few years of mis-steps. Hoping that he can get a BB #1 out of the follow-up single and it can happen w/o the need for an unnecessary push.

Could we be looking at the steepest fall ever from #1 (or in general)? I think so

This song is surely in freefall, dropping an astounding 882 spins today and over 3 million more in audience. We knew it was going to drop like a rock once the push was over. It is down to #5 from #3 from last Thursday.

The push and fall for this one are surely ridiculous but at least it’s a quality song. 🤷🏻♂️

Almost a thousand spins lost just today. It's sad to see a quality song plummet like this. These wild pushes get worse and worse.
And I agree - 7500 OBO please!

It's already down to #12 and it's only Saturday. I could even see it being out of the top 15 by tomorrow.

Down from #2 to #17 this week on Billboard Country Airplay. What a drop! Reminds me of 1990s chart drops after being done at radio.

Question about recurrent rule. So there is no way a song will be sent to recurrent the moment it dropped out of top 5, regardless of how much it lost the audience? This one, or Be A Light or In Between lost a lot of audience the week after push week, but still stayed on the chart for 1 more week in 10s.

I don’t know 100% about Billboard because they’re weird sometimes, but for Mediabase all that matters is three weeks without a bullet.

Don't get the appeal of this song whatsoever, I can't even make it all the way through. The way he sings 'I called mama' is just dreadful. Sad this got such a huge push and made it to #1 but glad it's free-falling now, good riddance.
