I really don’t know why but I really see this song doing better than we think it will and might even get solid callouts. I was kinda waiting for the freeze to end to say this (cause we know how it goes) but after today’s update, even though it’s just one, it kept me optimistic. I think after Jon Pardis single peaks, we might see this one really take off. It has most of the panel already and though I don’t see a #1 in this songs future, I could ultimately see a top 10/15 peak and moving the radio needle for her a bit. I wonder what Ray thinks.First of all I am flattered. Secondly, I think Top 15 is the max for this as this is at 45 weeks on Billboard and most songs max amount of weeks being pushed tends to be 60-65 nowadays so this has at most 15-20 weeks left to work with and within that timeframe I could maybe see it catch some traction in the 20s before peaking in the Top 20. But that is best case scenario. I just in my gut think this song has burned up too many weeks to make it to much higher on the charts unfortunately.

Just hoping that this song can be one of those that end up breaking a record for the time it takes to peak in the top 10 lol. Gotta say tho, Lauren’s career is on the uprise and I really think radio is the last dot that needs to be connected for her to truly be a star. I think she already has the longevity and with her Grand Ole Opry induction, I feel like at some point, the country industry is going to have no choice to stop resisting her.

Woah update today! I really think this is a good sign for this song starting to take off! I’m curious if these bigger updates are due to radio dropping “Tequila Little Time” hard 🤔 I’m all here for it though because “Getting Over Him” is a jam!

I don't think radio was to inclined having two Jon Pardi songs in high rotation at the same time. I think that's the reason GOH hasn't done much so far even though its Lauren's song. Now that TLT is falling, I think GOH will start getting bigger gains and move up now.

In a week where no one on Mediabase went recurrent it is definitely an optimistic sign for this song that "Getting Over Him" gained 2 spots on Mediabase and gained 139 spins this week and 667k in audience. It's best week yet since hitting the Top 50 back in late April . Regardless things are definitely looking up for this song and the Jon Pardi song clearing out certainly has to help to a certain degree I imagine, fingers crossed this can keep gaining more traction.

Finally broke top 30 on BB this week at #29. Just three spots away from being her second biggest radio single *eye roll*.
Also seeing her and Scotty McCreery right next to each other on the MB chart was just too much for me. So cool to watch those kids from TV grow up and have longevity.

Finally broke top 30 on BB this week at #29. Just three spots away from being her second biggest radio single *eye roll*. It's equal parts impressive and tragic that this girl has been fairly consistently releasing music to country radio for a decade and almost every single thing she's put out has peaked between #27 and #40. Like, usually by now she'd either have flopped into oblivion and disappeared like most females who get 1 major solo hit or become one of the exclusive few females who become format mainstay regularly racking up the hits. Her career is so interesting, lol. I still remain hopeful that one of these days the stars with align with the right song and country radio will just collectively decide 'okay, wow, this girl needs to be a STAR' but I am at least grateful she has hung around collecting minor top 40 hits and landing collabs with half the people in Nashville (some of which get to become hits and bolster her resume a little). Anyway, glad to see this one still trucking and I remain optimistic that this one will at least become her biggest showing on the charts as a lead act since "Road Less Traveled." It's probably burned through too many weeks toiling in the 30s on the charts to truly take off and become the #1 hit I had wanted it to be, but it's country radio so... there's technically still a chance that happens since we're now in a time where songs can spend 60+ weeks charting, lol.

It broke the Top 30 on Billboard a few weeks back just fyi but it does set a new peak of #29 which is good. I have to think with the Opry induction it's only a matter of time until radio finally just full on clicks for her as it is clear with that induction she is sticking around for a while longer I'd imagine.

Yea that's been amazing to see as I've been following them since the start. Hoping 2022 is a big year for both of them. They're both extremely talented and potential has always been the word I've used for them and maybe they're finally reaching that potential. On another note, this song is hovering again and I'm really hoping with her February 12th Opry induction and "Tequila Little Time' about to fall below this song and continues to lose spins/audience, this song can at peak at *maybe* TOP 20. I think that if this song does somehow become her second biggest radio single regardless it'll at least show growth in her radio hart success especially since this single wasn't assisted by anything (eg. OTV, lead single single buzz etc.) It still leads me to believe that Lauren truly just needs that perfect single to break down all the barriers for her career (such as it seems Damn Strait is doing for Scotty in a way). It's coming y'all. I don't think it'll be this album as this one I feel is still building to the breakout but I think it will come with life experience, ups and downs (relationships, marriage, children), translating to writing, artistry and a breakthrough era. She's been promoted to direct support on her opening slots as well as headlining her own longer and bigger tours. Her singles aren't becoming hits chart wise but in reality are hitting GOLD and streaming better than many country artists number one singles lol. She's a Grand Ole Opry member so I honestly don't think shes going anywhere haha. What I've come to accept is that Lauren Alaina's career doesn't follow any trajectory or trend that I've ever seen from any other artist in the game as long as she has (especially female) making me believe destined to be a star in some right. Now that my thoughts are out, I really hope I didn't jynx this song and her career LMAOO

Exactly this. There was a discussion in a previous single thread (who knows which one at this point) about how ridiculously unique Lauren Alaina's career trajectory has been. Nobody has been simultaneously loved and ignored like her; nobody consistently performs okay-at-best at radio but continues to just chug along like she does. It's impressive. Always, always here for her longevity, and agreed that the Opry induction solidifies that longevity.

Does anybody know why "Good Ole Boy" is in the Top 40 on iTunes Country? It's not getting Sirius Xm play and I don't think it was performed anywhere or discounted on iTunes. Certainly not complaining but definitely confused (even if this sale bump does make it an even more obvious single choice once "Getting Over Him" is done).

I was literally just searching twitter for a reason why cause I almost did a double take then thought some type of promo has happened. I havent been able to find anything so I'm really intrigued! All these signs pointing to this era doing something different for her.

Glad to see her repeaking! I’ve liked other singles -and album tracks- a bit more than this one, but I’d always root for her to get another hit. I mean, I’m still a bit bitter she wasn’t kept as the duet partner for the #1 hit Thinking ‘Bout You. In any case it’s about time she gets another top 20 as a solo act. Hope she does it with this! And yeah it’s very nice to see her and Scotty have hits at this point. I still remember that Idol season :)

Certainly not complaining but definitely confused (even if this sale bump does make it an even more obvious single choice once "Getting Over Him" is done). The song is semi-trending on Tik Tok. Lauren herself posted a video of a "story behind the song" and it's sitting at 1M views. 664 videos have been used using her sound (mainly the first verse & chorus). In Tik Tok standards, this is not even close to fully trending, so to see that kind of reaction is welcoming. Not many videos using the sound have many views besides Lauren's own. But, there is clearly potential for this to do something!

Wouldn't hate if they dropped this in favor of going ahead and pushing "Good Ole Boy."

Yeah I agree, especially because I could see "Good Ole Boy" being Lauren Alaina's "Die From A Broken Heart" moment (a song with interest that connects well and eventually takes off at radio) and as much as I like "Getting Over Him" it really isn't connecting at all and is right back to struggling at radio (negative 81 bullet today on Mediabase).

After reading that article on billboard, I really think something is going to click for her big time. Regarding this song, I just either want it to take off or die already. I feel like it’s right on this cusp of radio either taking to it (and really surprising us) or dropping it (which we kinda expect lol). Regardless, I feel like she has this interesting momentum that Makes me really optimistic for this upcoming year.

I wonder what sabre14 thinks of Lauren Alaina's career and this song. It got a pretty good update this morning but they've been pretty inconsistent. I'm still hoping this song takes off soon but I wonder what he thinks from an insiders POV. Happy with todays update but can't get too optimistic.

I know we normally shouldn’t focus on a single daily update to see if a song is done or not, but today’s update has me wondering if the plug was pulled on this, as it had a massive loss.
I feel like it’s a good time to try a new song though. If this song is done then they could try working “Good Ole Boy” up the chart as it’ll have adequate time to get established in case the Chris Young duet goes to radio (which probably won’t be till late this year or early next year.

Yeah, I know it was still being promoted last week, but it’s had such a bad week and I just don’t see how it recovers. What a disappointing run.

Yeah even if it is still being promoted, there really is no point to keep this afloat since this week was such a disaster for it and I doubt it would do more. I am happy it at least outpeaked "Getting Good" on Mediabase but man it is sad to see yet another Lauren Alaina single not catch on at all, and honestly despite peaking slightly higher I feel like "Getting Good" connected a lot more than this.
Hopefully they go for "Good Ole Boy" next as I imagine that is probably her best shot at a hit on the record.

Time to just pull the plug at this point and give radio "Good Ole Boy." It's her only shot at a hit bigger than this on the record imo, and it's already moved the needle some which is promising. I definitely expected "Getting Over Him" to do much better than it has for her, but it's at least scraped the top 30 which is sadly the upper reach of her chart success, so it wasn't a total bust, I guess.

I hope she tries with Country In Me. “Country In Me” didn’t make the album, so it’s unlikely to be a single ever. I do enjoy that one though! I think “Good Ole Boy” should be the single even though I think “If the World Was a Small Town” is the best song on the album. GOB is clearly the one connecting best right now.

I agree with Ray that although this song peaked higher than Getting good, it seems to have made less impact. Still though, it kept her out there on radio and something for her to build from. Even if this song was a hit, I don’t think it would’ve been the hit to change the trajectory of her career. Hoping Good Ole Boy is the next single and can break out for her. If Chris Young releases the duet too, she may have an opportunity.
Comparing her to Scotty though whose been out the same exact amount of time as her, I've realized though she has great songs, she hasn't had her '5 More Minutes' or 'Damn Strait' which were singles that connected on other metrics PRIOR to radio play. I mean that little Good Ole Boy surge was hopeful as it showed the song has potential to connect if promoted but not only has she not had one of those singles, she hasn't had a single in which its buzz/sales/streams has driven it to be a hit. That's what I'm waiting for. That undeniable smash that just connects on all metrics where radio almost has no choice to play it and she has the voice to do it but I don't think has released the song yet.

Did it peak higher on MB than "Getting Good"? On BB, they both peaked at #29, and this also peaked a couple spots lover on the HCS chart.

Yeah, I’m confident this is done. Another bad update today and is now out of Top 30 on MB.
I really thought it could go Top 20 with Jon’s name on the track but I guess this joins her disappointing slew of Top 30-40 peaking singles…
