I have loved this song for about a month now. I hope it smashes so freakin hard. I was manifesting that this would be next but didn’t think it would actually happen. 😅😅😅😅

Yeessss, this song is amazing!!!! The premise of appreciating life while you still can may be a tried-and-true country theme, but it still packs an emotional punch here, and Cody's vocal is strong as is the undeniably COUNTRY arrangement!!!

Currently #49 on the Texas Country chart after 8 weeks. All on unsolicited airplay. If Cody's team actually officially pushed a single to Texas Country radio, he probably would only need 8 weeks to get it to #1.

This is fantastic. Would definitely welcome this as a hit, and given his track record thus far, I'd say there's at least a very good chance that this peaks somewhere in the 30s or 40s on the charts, if nothing else.

Ya this one rocks. An instant classic that I’ll be rooting for on the charts. If Luke Combs or even a veteran artist like Blake Shelton recorded this it would be a multi-week #1 hit. The driving heat on this one is insanely memorable and the lyrics are sentimental but not overly sappy or gloomy to the point I can’t listen to the song often.

Oops lol, but the main point is this song is featured somewhere in some way (streaming playlists I think) and they had plans for this to be a single at some point.

Great video. And man, this song just gets better and better every time I listen to it. I miss this kind of country music on the airwaves, and I'm glad country radio seems to be at least more interested in him than it is a lot of neotraditional acts. This one's off to a great start at radio and I could definitely see it being his second top 20 hit.

Fifth most added with 21 stations on add week and 30 total stations. Not bad, not great but a solid start

This is a great song! I could see it being a hit - even if it does take many, many weeks.

Wow, that's incredible that he was able to debut on the Hot 100 with this already. Early signs for this are looking very good.

This is SO good. I hope it’s a #1 hit. Couldn’t agree more. This is really, really good - his vocals really shine.

I have streamed the crap out of this song. I can't wait to hear it on the radio! Slam dunk. Single/song of the year type of material.

This was on the Hot 20 Countdown today on CMT and I really enjoyed this one. I hope he's successful.

This is already his biggest hit on the Hot 100, surpassing the peak of "On My Way to You" which made it all the way to the cusp of top 10 in airplay (meanwhile, this one is at #41 on the BB Country Airplay chart). Incredible.

I'm sorry, I can't get over the "if you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance" line. Sounds like he was trying to hit the wordcount requirement for an essay. The rest of the song is fine, but my god that line.

So I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion but I kind of wish the chorus was stronger melodically. The conclusion of the chorus (the "til you can't" part) ends the chorus really nicely but up until that point it's a little unsatisfying (I know there are songs that don't have a ton of movement key-wise in the chorus but some of them are just fine to me but this one idk what it is). I've mostly gotten over it and like the song a lot but the verses are really strong that it leaves me wanting more in the chorus.

Yeah this song should be Cody Johnson's biggest hit in general including radio as this moved up 4 spots to #32 on Mediabase after gaining 4 spots last week, has the second highest bullet of any song below the Top 25 only being bested by Thomas Rhett and this should enter the Billboard Top 30 tomorrow.
Definitely think this will be one of the biggest hits in 2022 for country music.

This will be Buy Dirt 2.0 in terms of Hot 100 year-end performance but without being caught between years.

I don't think "Buy Dirt" is gonna get caught in between years as I suspect it to have a very slow fall from radio when it peaks and have spent enough weeks on the Hot 100 to make the year end chart.

I agree that Buy Dirt will make the year-end chart, but judging from the callout rank (#34) of that song versus this song (#22) in Monday Morning Intel. Radio may not be too keen on playing that song after it peaked.

Moves up 6 spots from #28 to #22 on billboard country airplay. Ties Tim McGraw’s “7500 OBO” as the third biggest moving song on the chart.

I don't know if this will be the biggest hit of 2022 but the fact that this song only has a bullet of -12 and that is with both Christmas Eve/Day airplay taking so much out of the bullet. This song also hit the Top 20 on Billboard in it's 13th week which is a very strong start for a song for any non A-lister. Definitely lock this in for #1 and if it gets some good timing I can definitely see a multi week #1 for "Til You Can't"
