How do you find that website lol I read their About page and the writers seem to be from India and the Philippines. However the content seems to be copy-pasted from more major sites and the website is a textbook definition of a content farm.

It was the first thing that came up when I googled 7 Summers Morgan Wallen yesterday. Today it was a few pages og google in.I don't care where the content comes from using his full name several times and then only the last name later on is horrible.

This song is performing insanely well on streaming now and even reached #3 on both Spotify and Apple Music. That is huge for a country song, I'm impressed.

This song is phenomenal. Great songwriting, great hooks, just a fantastic song. This will be huge whenever it is released. He is red hot right now and now he has just released the best song of his career. This guy is gonna be around for a bit.

Absolutely killing it on Spotify. It’s crazy how much he has blown up in the past year and a half.

Morgan is doing what Sam Hunt could've done if he hadn't taken his sweet time doing whatever it was he doing before his second album.
Anyway, I don't think this song is the best, but I do enjoy it! I'm glad it's proving to be a hit for him - here's to his first Hot 100 Top 10 next week!!

Artist: Morgan Wallen Single: "7 Summers" Label: Big Loud Records
As discussed in the "More than My Hometown" thread, Big Loud Records sent "7 Summers" to country radio this afternoon via Play MPE. It's listed for immediate airplay and "More than My Hometown" was credited as a top 25 single in their press release, so looks like they'll handle two singles at once.

I hope this gets a real, actual push towards the top along with "More Than My Hometown". Both songs are such smashes. I know we've seen Kane Brown, Luke Combs, and Thomas Rhett all push two singles at once recently, but this is the first one in recent that is a) not being pushed as a "timely" single, and b) isn't being pushed as the current single is cresting the chart ("Beer Can't Fix").
I do think Big Loud will actually get away with both songs charting and being pushed all the way to the top simultaneously. Here for it!

This is interesting! I hope the release of this song to the radio will not delay "More Than My Hometown" becoming #1. Still More Than My Hometown is my fav rather than this song. And this could mean that my other fav This Bar won't be released to the radio for a while...

Apparently this might debut at #5 on the Hot 100 Chart, just absolutely wild and cool to see for a country artist. “If I know Me” should see it’s highest peak on the overall album charts as well. I know his manager said that they would take their time getting a new record out, but man this momentum is something else ha.

I hope the release of this song to the radio will not delay "More Than My Hometown" becoming #1. If anything, it might help accelerate "More than My Hometown's" chart run, to make way for "7 Summers" but there's a notion it could go this way as well. There's a variety of reasons why labels don't release two singles at once from an artist. For one, it costs even more money in promotion and label roster schedules (for radio) might not work out for it. Stations also only have so many current single slots to go around, and we know how hard it is for singles getting added and converted (increased in rotation) these days. All stations have recent charting songs and gold titles they need to play for familiarity (the rule of thumb is to never play two new singles back-to-back, unless it's specialty programming like a countdown show). Most listeners love hearing those hits they already know by heart -- it takes a while for that to happen with a song, too. You also have the fact that an artist usually doesn't get played twice in one hour; so if an artist has two singles out that are getting pushed at radio, with past hits from that artist the station is still playing, it's a hard sell to play the two current singles. However, the only way it would be able to happen is if the demand is there, and is it ever for Morgan lol. The sales and streaming numbers for "7 Summers" are unreal and "More than My Hometown" is doing great in sales as well. My guess is they're hoping for some airplay to possibly get "7 Summers" into the 40's (possibly 30's), before "More than My Hometown" officially peaks. They obviously felt the consumption was too amazing to not give "7 Summers" to radio as soon as possible, but still keeping focus on "More than My Hometown."

As I am looking at the charts, "More Than My Hometown" is not really moving up on the radio airplay songs than his other songs. "Chasing You" is also still being played as well along with "Whiskey Glasses." They could be giving up hope on "More Than My Hometown."

While “7 Summers” will be bigger, “More Than My Hometown” is practically in the Top 20. After seeing how viral he can be though, maybe it’ll let radio realize that he’s about to be Luke Combs big and they’ll push his singles up the chart more quickly. Good point about “Chasin You” still getting huge recurrent play. Honestly all great problems to have for him ha.

I could see Morgan having the top year end song 3 years straight. I could see him and Luke Combs battling out for Entertainer awards within the next 10 years. Morgan has skyrocketed in popularity really fast.

This such a fun/weird situation. I love both of the songs so I hope they both smash!! Sounds like 7 summers is already a smash!

Not sure what charts you've been looking at (knowing you it's probably the secondary chart or something), but this is easily his fastest rising single to date on the mainstream BB/MB country charts and sabre14 (who works in radio) just posted a great write-up in the post preceding yours about the move that the label is making here by issuing "7 Summers" to radio despite still also promoting "Hometown." This single will not replace "Hometown" on the charts; they will co-exist for awhile.

Just depends which one gets the most requests for play. When a song do not get much requests? That song gets less plays. I tried to request a song in the past, and I was told the song was frozen where they will not play the song again.

I tried to request a song in the past, and I was told the song was frozen where they will not play the song again. Most playlists are corporatized now so the idea of calling into your local station to make requests is very few and far between. Most stations already have it set what they're going to play and they can't really deviate from that just because some Joe Schmoe from down the road asked. "Hometown" is doing well because stations are loving Morgan Wallen and because of his label's radio promo team -- fan requests have little to no effect on airplay in 2020. They can indirectly affect song's performances by sales/streaming numbers -- which has undoubtedly been a huge benefit to him taking off how he has -- but the radio stations aren't basing their playlists around phone calls from Joe Schmoe.

Awesome, 2 singles at once. I see no reason why big name artists like Morgan, Thomas Rhett or Luke Combs can't handle 2 singles at the same time. "7 Summers" is great, extremely melodic and well written. I'm a little surprised its taking off as well as it has with its similarities in sound to "Chasin' You", but I'm not complaining. I'm glad Morgan is becoming the star he's destined to become. I think every single song from his debut album could be a #1 on Country radio right now, its just that strong.

An interesting tidbit is that Morgan Wallen has over 1 million more monthly listeners on spotify than Luke Combs...

Debuts at #6 on the Hot 100! That is absolutely insane. Purely based off consumption. Morgan Wallen leading the future of country music on streaming platforms! We have two country hits in the top 10 and they're both new artists. Feels good.
