Pick a damn woman, Radio.com. Female voices won't kill you or your listeners. It's nice to see a random album track be picked though. I still have yet to hear this song or full album (32 songs for one time is intimidating lol; it was hard for me to sit through Miranda's double album because of the massive length) but I should get on it here soon to have actual thoughts on the album and this "Wasted On You" song. Oh it's so good tho!!

It's honestly great to see that radio execs are taking action, but at the same time, I can't help to think they are only doing so because he's so prominent right now and for their own optics.
He's in country, and unless you're the Dixie Chicks in the early 2000s, you can do anything and likely bounce back. Regardless, even though I've really enjoyed the work he's put out, hopefully the repercussions he's currently facing are enough to make him get his shit together. Clearly, his COVID/SNL snafu taught him nothing.

Iโm shocked. I wasnโt even convinced it would turn into a big story, much less that the industry would do much to address it, and especially so quickly. I wonder if this is temporary until things cool down, or if theyโre just straight up done playing him for good.
Iโm also very interested to see how Bobby Bones addresses this, as heโs a huge fan of Morganโs and has always defended him in the past.

Oh wow. Good on radio.
If they're going to cancel an artist for something stupid (The Chicks), I'm glad they're also canceling someone for something real and important.

I fully expect it to be a hard ban for a short while and then heโll slowly start to get spins again. Then heโll go on the redemption tour just like all the other dudes get to do after theyโve done something stupid. Or in Morganโs case, a series of stupid things that heโs done this past year.

I'm glad to see swift action taking place here. Nothing happened when Aldean wore blackface and then said people were 'too sensitive' in his non-apology, so this is an improvement already.

He needs to take some time away and work on himself. He keeps saying he is going to, but he clearly has not.
If he can work on himself, have an actual apology and be better, I'm willing to not cancel him forever - but this PR apologies with no actual remorse or growth is aa disaster - AND I WORK IN PR. lol
Also, dude must have just a terrible circle of friends around him.

I could see radio cooling on him for a bit (maybe.) but for some reason I feel like heโll be back.

Well, at the very least, he's getting BLACKLISTED from my personal chart. Disgusting.

I often just look at an artist's body of work and try to ignore their personal lives because we all have baggage and are lucky enough that ours are not in the tabloids- which is why, for example, Michael Ray cheating on Carly Pearce doesn't really matter to my personal taste in his music, or Morgan cheating on his baby mama didn't really change my opinion on his output.
This, however, is one of those times I feel sick to have jammed out to 'Whiskey Glasses' as much as I have and now I look at his music in a different light. As if him giving no mind to the pandemic was not enough, I am not sure I can see myself supporting him again after this. This is one of those situations where he said it with WAY too much ease - a word he should have NEVER said in the first place. Racist, disrespectful, whatever you want to call it.
Maren got it right.
Agree with the above - he needs a break from the spotlight. He keeps saying he will change and then never does. What has he lost out on during all these incidents? One appearance on SNL?
Good riddance.

First of all apologies mean shit if you don't follow through your actions. An actual apology is realizing what you did is wrong and learning from it and not saying sorry because your ass got caught.
Second of all I feel disgusted I just recently bought his debut album.
Fuck him.

I was literally going to give his new album a listen because I'd wanted to get to it for awhile and had defended the one instance a couple weeks ago but clearly he learned nothing. And I feel disgusting for having done so. And he said that word with ease--he has obviously had it in his vernacular his entire life. I could now care less about him. Goodbye and good riddance.
Now for country radio to give his spins to Mickey please.

I mean, an apology might mean something in 1997 or 2002 or even 2009, but after the last year to still have it in you to react like that and say that like he did - nope. Too late. He deserves to be blacklisted for being so stupid. Thereโs no excuse anymore.

Great response by Bobby Bones.
He's literally on top of the world and then does something so stupid like this. I agree that alcohol brings out the truth in people, and from what I'm hearing, he's been problematic in the past.
I'm disgusted and I hope that he's blacklisted for good.

Glad they finally took some action, his apologies mean nothing, he said he was going to take a break and look into himself but he seems to be the same jerk

If you told me a year ago that Morgan Wallen would end up getting Dixie Chicks-ed, I wouldโve believed you.
Disgusted and disappointed but not surprised.

It looks like he's actually getting a bit of a bump on digital outlets, but my guess is with multiple major radio broadcasting companies blacklisting him, that's not going to last long..

I have to say, I was extremely impressed with Bobby's take. That was unscripted and spot on.
BTW, if Big Loud is suspending his deal then this is officially done. iHeartRadio and Cumulus have all officially dropped it.

Iโm curious to see if he gets a big bump on streaming, at least initially. If radio is going to stop playing him, his fans will have to turn somewhere to consume his music. I will be curious to see how far he is canceled. If his streaks for โWasted On Youโ jump high enough to be #1 song on Billboard, will Billboard not publish the statistic? We really donโt have any recent examples to compare this. If the label drops him, heโs screwed and not sure if he could ever come back. If they stick by his side, he might be able to return if heโs able to repair his image. Hope he can get his s**t together and become a stronger person, heโs too talented to throw it all away.
