I’m really curious to see how much longer this can last. The callouts have consistently gotten worse every week since debuting and today, for the first time, it has fallen under 50 points in net positivity.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that they’re waiting until the album release to pull it altogether for the second single.

We only have 3 weeks left so it can probably at least hold on until then. They don't really have anything to gain by putting out something new to radio until the album drop at least, and since the Elle King duet is peaking right now, that'd probably be a good timeline, honestly.

I say make “Strange” the second single. That one was immediate to me so much. Cowboy is okay, it’s just nothing out of this world imo.

I’d echo “Strange” as the next single; it just sounds tailor-made for radio and would be a nice addition to the summer playlists.

Have to imagine this one is nearing the end of the line with the album coming soon. It's callouts are pretty terrible and has been losing audience almost all this week. I doubt it hurts her momentum in any way though, since all the success she saw with Drunk. I say send "Strange" to radio, that sounds like a radio hit waiting to happen.

they’re definitely just biding their time, I would take Strange but I’d feel better hearing peoples’ reactions to other songs before they pull the trigger. I’d also rather them pick a song that would get nominated for awards with the next one rather than a radio friendly #1 so I’m torn.

Even though this song never wowed me, I will say there is a big disconnect between its airplay position where it appears to be stalling, and how it’s received by the public.
It’s currently in the top 10 on hot country songs and nearing the top 50 on the hot 100. Those are great positions for a song that is in the upper teens on airplay.

I don’t wanna speak for anyone gender wise but I feel like her female crowd takes more of a liking to it and radio might be more male heavy listener-wise who don’t like the whole Cowboy / queen thing. Her tiktok posts of it also do better than her usual other ones.

This has had a huge couple of days n terms of updates, so I’m wondering if it’s a final push.

Appears that this one is done. Loses around 75 spins and .600 audience on today’s update. What were the peaks for this?
Fingers crossed we’ll be getting Strange on radio soon.

As much as I love this and wish it had done better -- looking at the discrepancy between its airplay peak vs. its top 10 placement on HCS suggests it *should* have gone further, too -- I am READY for single #2. Bring on "Strange" plz!

This really should have been at least a top 10 airplay hit, given its success everywhere else. I really hope the next single connects in a big way. There are a lot of great options.

Only two songs from the album that made the first night of the tour setlist were cowboy and actin up so this is interesting 😅 oh and music city queen but that’s because of the LBT assist.

Set a new peak of #15 on BB Country Airplay this week. Looks like Miranda wasn't quite done just yet!
She also rises to #8 on HCS thanks to the release of her album giving her a nice sales bump.

I’m telling you the more conservative leaning male powers that be over there don’t like the queerness of that bridge. 😵💫😭😵💫😭

“Cowboy” gained spins today – it seems like they’re going to keep going with it for now? I don’t see it lasting much longer either way, but at least it was able to nab a new peak on BB this week.
This would have been at #41 on the Hot 100 this week without the Future album bomb.

I wonder if they are trying to prop it up for one more week in hopes of setting a new hot 100 peak. As previously stated, this would have almost been top 40 this week if the Future album bomb didn't happen.

Um the album bombs for next week are bigger (Bad Bunny and Jack Harlow), plus some Future songs linger.

Saw her last night and she put on such an amazing show. The crowd was going pretty wild for this one. I would be so happy if this one stuck it out to the top 10, it deserves it. This is probably in my top 5 in her entire discography. It’s so melodically pleasant and enjoyable.

She is such a great entertainer. I still don’t think this should’ve been the lead single from the album, but I’m glad to see it hanging on and doing well.

Listening to Palomino, I do think this was one of the better options for the lead single on the record. Was it the best and most surefire hit? Probably not, but the fact that despite some polarizing callout and sputtering its way through the upper teens on the airplay chart, its streaming/sales impact has been enough for it to already reach top 10 on the HCS chart, so it's definitely far from a total misfire. On paper, it's definitely done a bit better job overall than "Wash" did to launch her last era.

Definitely not an awful choice, but I think either “Strange” or “Waxahachie” would have been better choices.

I don't usually buy albums by her to compare what could've been a better single, but as a casual I loved this one on first listen. Not as much as "Bluebird," perhaps, but still one of her better singles for sure.

I agree, I also think "Drunk" was a better song and she was already getting higher airplay with that, so it's been a fine lead single all things considered. This isn't my favorite but I wouldn't call it a misfire.

Sets a new peak of #13 this week! This honestly seemed like it was on its last legs before the album came out, but the last few weeks suggests that there's enough gas in the tank to hit the top 10. The callout isn't *that* bad (slightly worse than #1 "Never Wanted to Be That Girl") and other than Kane Brown's latest single, there isn't much around "Cowboy" on the chart that radio seems to be too excited about. I think radio might be ready for a (solo) uptempo from Miranda, though.

Very happy to see this have a second wind. It was looking like they dropped it a few weeks ago. I'm curious to see what they do with it; does it have enough legs to try for a #1 peak (or even top 5?) It looked like it's callouts have improved over the past few weeks, so maybe that gave radio more initiative to spin it.

From a new article: Cowboy was “released on her team’s advice. Lambert said she’s too close to the album to depend on herself to make those types of decisions. ‘I don’t ever know what to put out first. I’m so inside the record it’s hard to pick.’”
I actually like the song so I never minded it as the single but I really wish she was more headstrong in going with what she reallllly wants at radio.
