Hopefully it's a great summer jam and helps them rebuild their career.
Looks like Old Dominion were not the only ones on a boat these days.

I feel like releasing a song in April-June about a boat is a great way to get a hit after a couple flops lmao.

Looks like this will get the iHeartRadio hour by hour treatment as this will impact immediately as it said in the ad tonight for this.

This is their most radio friendly single in years. It should be at least a Top 20 but I suspect it’ll become a Top 5 with WMN on board.

"Chicken Fried ... that was a big hit. Let's release something that sounds almost exactly like that!"

This feels like “Chicken Fried” + “Undivided”. It is catchy though!

My jaw dropped when I first heard the opening; wow, that’s like a carbon copy of Chicken Fried both instrumentally and melodically lmaoooo.
This is great though!

I'll take a re-release of "Chicken Fried" over 90% of what they've released in the past 6 years. With that said, lyrically this leaves a little more to be desired still. This is lyrically much better than Chesney's "Get Along" because I do feel like the lyrics are a bit more unifying than "can't we all just get along", and it's less cheesy and cliche than "Undivided" but these types of songs that are written to cash in on the zeitgeist of the divided country just pack no punch to them. What's the point in writing a song about respecting people that are different than you or trying to mend what's broken if you're gonna play it safe and keep it PG? This is a fun little song that people will mindlessly sing along to and I'm sure that's the actual point of this song, but I can't with these songs where the message is just to make everyone happy. I'll not go off topic and delve into politics but Maren Morris's "Better Than We Found It" is how you write a powerful, change-inspiring song about how to fix our country.

Why did Billboard's Country Update send an email specifically to promote this song?

This really does sound similar to “Chicken Fried”. That probably bodes well for its chart performance though, so smart move on their part I guess. They needed a strong uptempo to get them out of their rut.

It’s been 6 years since they had a #1 with “Homegrown”. I could see this song ending the drought.

I literally thought the Zac Brown Band's radio career was over prior to this single. So seeing it climb with such ease is very satisfying. Seeing them on the charts takes me back to 10 years ago. Simpler times lol.

2 new Zac Brown Band songs out today. Both co-written by Luke Combs. One called “Out In The Middle” and the other is called “Old Love Song”.

I think this is their best single in a long time. It might be a little pandering, but it’s their bat single in a while.

I ignored this one for awhile, but I finally heard it due to bboat11's rankdown for new releases and I don't like this at all. I actually think it's quite terrible, like a lot of their recent output has been, lol. It looks like it's off to a decent enough run at country radio and should probably give them their biggest hit since "Beautiful Drug," whether it goes all the way to #1 or not. |

Finally glad to see these guys getting back into the top 10. “My Old Man” and “Roots” from their Welcome Home album we’re 2 that should’ve been there. I’m hoping this leads to many more hits by them.

Is this being maxed out this week? It’s up over 23% on the Building Chart & is at #3 passing “Chasing After You”…

Yo why is ZBB maxing this week. That song was going to be a #1 hit if they waiting a month or so. Doesn’t make sense.

I really don't think they are maxing, I think it's just very strong Top 5 conversions as I can't find a single add saying Max spins now anywhere this week. Maybe I am wrong but I feel like there would have been some sort of announcement whether it be Country Aircheck, Billboard, etc. and there just isn't. I know the gains are huge but I think it's just conversions nothing more nothing less |

Sorry for the double post but wow at this song gaining 7 spots on Mediabase launching from #10 to #3 gaining 1160 spins. I don't think I have seen a single movement within the Top 10 that big ever.
I don't think the label is max spinning this song, but I definitely think if there is a song that is taking #1 it is probably "Same Boat".
