I don't like this girls voice as much as others here do, but this song definitely sounds like a hit and I do expect this to be at least a Top 10 single (I would predict higher but won't because female artist unfortunately).

oh I'm excited to see this be her next single cause I really do like this one a lot! "Hall of Fame" is really good as well.

YES!!!!!!! I'm so glad they went with this one! Perfect choice! I'll be the first to say this will be her second no. 1.

So happy about this! I’ve been obsessed ever since I first heard this on The Highway months ago.
Let’s keep the female momentum going at country radio with another smash!

Perfect. This is just a little bit more radio friendly the Hall of Fame. Plus it has even sold pretty well considering it hasn’t been a radio single.

As a song, I much prefer "Hall of Fame", but this is the best choice they could have made to get her another smash. It’s such a perfect followup sonically to "I Hope" and I can’t wait to witness this soar straight up the charts.

I haven’t heard this one yet and will shortly, but I will say: I’m impressed that both radio singles thus far have been co-writes, and that most of the to tracks on Goldmine are those Gabby had a hand in writing. 20+ years ago, not many female artists had the luxury of writing and releasing their own material (Faith, Martina, Reba, etc).

Gabby definitely has a bright future in country music! If “I Hope” made it to #1 faster than most established artists’ singles, I think this will have little trouble scaling the charts and connecting in a big way.

This is how you break an artist. Listen to what has been reacting. "The Good Ones" has been steadily on the iTunes Country chart AND streaming very well (without a major playlist) since its release. It is the obvious choice and will solidify that Gabby is here to stay.
This song's performance is crucial... See: the difference between "Dibs" solidifying Kelsea Ballerini, "Hide the Wine" questionably solidifying Carly Pearce, and "Doin' Fine" not exactly solidifying Lauren Alaina the way anyone had hoped.

I'm hooked! This is so good! I wasn't sold on Gabby with "I Hope" alone, but it has since grown on me, and I have loved everything else I have heard from her new album. "I Hope" has an awesome hook, "The Good Ones" is super catchy, "Hall Of Fame" has the coolest melody and stands out with the really high falsetto in the backgrounds, and "Got Me" is a Martina/Carrie-worthy belted masterpiece I am getting really excited to see how her career turns out!!

Country radio seems to be getting its head out of...the darkness...when it comes to supporting women, let alone more than one at a time. It might be like "I Hope" and take awhile, but I have no doubts at all that this will also hit #1 (of course that is also me being hopeful for the best as well). I haven’t heard this one yet and will shortly, but I will say: I’m impressed that both radio singles thus far have been co-writes, and that most of the to tracks on Goldmine are those Gabby had a hand in writing. 20+ years ago, not many female artists had the luxury of writing and releasing their own material (Faith, Martina, Reba, etc). Even better. Gabby happens to have co-written every single track! Women have definitely come a LONG way in terms of labels' confidence in their artistic abilities, and it's beautiful to see.
I'm glad this song was chosen as single #2, and as I said above, I have hopes this will also hit #1! Can't wait for the album on June 19!

This is what I like to see! I feel this was the obvious choice given the response it has had in sales/streaming since release -- it has moved the needle much more than "Hall of Fame" did, even though I slightly prefer that song personally. "The Good Ones" is 100% the right follow-up though given the options we've already heard from Goldmine and I feel more optimistic than usual that she'll get another smash hit here. Very excited for the future of another female country artist to hopefully ascend the ranks to consistent success.

Listening to this more and more now that I know it's the single choice. A couple thoughts.. First, this DEFINITELY has strong crossover potential. It is hardly country (who cares) and feels very The Bones-y. It could be cool to see Gabby have consistent crossover success if/when the "I Hope" remix does something on HAC/Pop. Second, doesn't this song sound like a late-2000s Rihanna song??

This has 25 adds so far. Might end up being the most added.

This sounds like a hit. I think they probably nailed it for first two singles.

I really think we have a star on our hands. She just connects so well to the general public.

Yep most added song with 32 adds for add week, very great start 32 seems kinda average to me, I wouldn’t call it a great start. I know there was a double week of adds and a lot of competition but still I wouldn’t call it a great week until you get into the 40s with adds.

I know there was a double week of adds and a lot of competition but still I wouldn’t call it a great week until you get into the 40s with adds. Nobody got great adds because there were like 6 major releases going for adds since the two weeks were combined, so it leveled the playing field to where everyone got about the same amount of adds, but she still narrowly came out on top ahead of everybody so that's pretty promising. She would've no doubt gotten a lot more if the songs last week had been able to go for adds properly.

I think that is what I said there was a lot of competition so either everyone did great or everyone did Ok, because really they essentially all got the same amount give or take a few. I get some people on here like her quite a bit, that’s great, but looking at the numbers through rose colored glasses will not make this song a hit. She had a decent start like five other artist. We will have to wait and see how all of them do.

I mean I will be the first to say that I think all of the songs that went for adds today (this, Ingrid Andress, Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown, and Kelsea Ballerini) are doing great out of the gate since so many went for adds the same day, and I do think having 5 songs score close to 30 adds on add week on the same week, gives me the impression country radio is interested in all 5 of these songs

She released another song. Footprints on the moon. This song isn’t country at all but really cool. It’s clear she is going to have a very diverse album with some singles that will work on country radio.

"Footprints On The Moon" is the most Miley sounding song I’ve heard yet from her. Honestly it could pass as a Hannah Montana song with those lyrics too. I love it though! The album is going to be stellar; I love every song released so far.

Loving Footprints on the Moon! Now I am more excited for her album release every song has been good so far.
I feel like this may be the start to a Carrie level career if things play out right...

I feel like I’ve said that second sentence a ton of times when it seems like country radio is interested in a new woman artist but it never really happens but yeah...I really do think so this time! Also, “I Hope” seems to be having a nice start on CHR.
