Shocked they are going for a third single from the album given how long "One Big Country Song" took.

And this song will take another year to become a hit, so LoCash will not release a new song for another year...
I don't mind this song though.

One of their better singles on first listen, but I'm still not a big fan of this duo and I'm still perplexed at how well their last single ultimately did at radio. Certainly not the worst thing that could be a hit, but I'd rather not see them clog up chart space for another 13 months with a single that sells/streams terribly.

If you had asked me 10 years ago whether The Band Perry, Thompson Square or LoCash would still be scoring hits today, I'd have bet all the money on either of the other two!

Congrats to them for sticking around this long, but we have yet another single of theirs that sounds fine, but will ultimately not make any real impact culturally.

If I hadn't just looked all of them up I wouldn't have believed they've all been around 10 years.

Probably the best song they’ve ever released single wise, though that’s not saying much. Still, I’d prefer to see their place on the charts go to somebody who’s actually popular.

[sabre14]

This is definitely among their best — maybe even the best single they’ve released since their Average Joes days, when they released the stellar “Best Seat In the House,” which is still one of my favorite songs of the 2010’s.

They’re very well liked in the Nashville/country music community — it’s why they have kept getting label chances.

I like this a lot on first listen (I haven't listened to anything other than the radio singles I've been forced to hear).. It's a heck of a lot easier to listen to than "One Big Country Song" so maybe it WON'T take a year to peak?

[raylatch98]

Enters the Mediabase Top 50 at #50. Unfortunately it is with a bullet of -13, but that is probably to be expected given the holiday season is eating up spins right now. I am very curious to see how this song does in 2021 as it has been a very slow climb so far, but I could see this catching on but I could easily see it dying out in the 30s and 40s.

Given how their chart runs go, it's more likely that this song hits #1 this time next year.

I mean if it catches on. It's not a lock by any means it will hit #1 or catch on at all even if chart runs are very long now (see latest singles from Jimmie Allen, Lauren Alaina, and Jon Langston that spent forever on the charts and never catched on). 

Sorry you're making it sound like it's inevitable this will catch on and hit #1 no matter what

Fairly certain there was some tongue-in-cheek in recordyear's post ;)

Entered the Top 50 on Mediabse 3 months ago and on Mediabase it has made it as high as #44 on that chart and on Billboard, it is at #52 after 26 weeks. I know chart runs are a lot more stretched out and shit (much to my annoyance) but even with that this song is moving at a snails pace even by 2021 standards. Like even marathon chart runs we have seen lately from Cole Swindell, Tenille Arts, Dustin Lynch, etc. All of them were at least at or near the Top 40 on both charts by their 26th week.

I still also don't get the move to release another single from the album when "One Big Country Song" took forever and 2 weeks from now marks the 2 year anniversary of their album being released. Like with Runaway June's latest that was just recently let go of it's not hard to see why this has gone nowhere on country radio, why should country radio play a song from a 2 year old album that has not connected by any stretch of the imagination when they can play buzzed newcomers (Elvie Shane, Lainey Wilson, Priscilla Block), established acts (Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Jon Pardi) or songs that have passion (Little Big Town). 

With any luck this song will be dead by the end of April, but realistically this song will probably hold on til July.

Can't believe this is still at #44 and gaining an average 3 spins a day. I have no idea what is the point in spending money to push this nothing song. The streaming numbers are abysmal. Even if it ultimately manages to go top 30 or higher, no one will still care about it. It's a pity, cause it is a nice song, but it's clearly time for them to move on.

[raylatch98]

I think the label may have cut bait on this song as this has lost 139 spins this past week on Mediabase and has fallen all the way back to #48 on Mediabase this week.
