Top 20 on country radio this week on Mediabase gaining 5 spots to #19 on Mediabase. Definitely imagine this will be a lock for #1 as this has the third highest bullet behind only "Forever After All" and "Famous Friends".

I cannot get over that final verse about his wife... just gorgeous. This is definitely my favorite TR single. Really brings me back to the 2000s decade and my childhood. I will looove seeing this in heavy rotation throughout the summer.

That's fantastic. He did that song when I saw him in 2019, said he wrote it with his dad the night before.

Not a typo in the lyric video (3:40)! How do people not check for these errors before publishing them lol
I like this! The first verse is a bit awkward to me but the rest of the song is great lyrically. I'd put this middle of the road if it were included in Side A. I wonder if it'll be included on Side B or if it's a one-off for Father's Day.

Pretty sure I saw somewhere before Side A was announced that it would be on the next album, and being it's technically a double album I would think it's on Side B.

Interestingly, Things Dads Do entered the chart in Canada at #50 with 75 spins! Due to the strict recurrent rule, the spin threshold to enter the top 50 in Canada has been quite low, but I don't normally see a non-single in this chart except for the Christmas time. According to Mediabase, only 2 stations officially added this song, but still, this is an example of how a "timely song" can earn a decent # of spins (also assuming most of the spins were from Wed: release day to Sun: Father's Day).
Country Again itself is currently at #4 in Canada.

Fifth lowest net positive in callout. Probably won't have good recurrent plays.

Not surprised this is testing poorly for the same reason songs like Jon Pardi's "She Ain't in It" failed, but it is still nonetheless disappointing. I hope this can overcome the poorer testing and still wind up being a #1 in the end as it is easily one of the best songs he's ever done.

Besides the Chase Rice/FGL single and Jameson Rodgers latest, I don't feel like there's any bro country on the chart and in general it seems like there hasn't been for a while it feels like to me at least.

The current presence or absence of bro country doesn't really matter. The point is, Thomas helped bring in the sea of fake fans who love nothing but hooky tropes without having any respect for the genre itself, and now he's collecting the fruits of his labor. It's irony at its finest!

He isn't saying that bro-country is saturating the charts still -- it's not -- but there's definitely more pop country songs hitting #1 than there are songs that sound like "Country Again."

It's irony at its finest! Oh sorry for misunderstanding what you were saying. My bad. (same goes with you too .indulgecountry) I will say even if the country radio audience isn't super high on this song itself (the callout isn't even as bad as people are making it out to be as it is certainly fine enough to work with, but I digress) , Thomas Rhett is still one of the biggest artists in the genre. Besides Luke Combs and I guess Luke Bryan, I would say Thomas Rhett is the biggest star in the genre right now. But once again, sorry again for misunderstanding the post and derailing this thread.

As a big fan of almost everything Thomas does, this is absolutely awful.

Yikes, this isn't good. I will take any song from Country Again Album over this as the follow-up single. Just don't go with this...

New peak of #42. Given the albums coming up and this peaking on radio soon, I could see that being the peak. Seemed like a weaker hit for him all things considered.
