I would be cool with this holding on to go #1 (and it’s still relatively new compared to the songs around it) but I’m also ready for a new single so I hope they surge it into the Top 10 for a week, go for a push week to get into/close to the top 5, and move on.

This is where I am. While I would love another #1 it would still take another two months to get there. And with the album already out I’d love for them to move on with the era. Give me Strange.

Definitely wouldn’t mind Actin’ Up as the next single, especially considering she opens her tour with it.

Cowboy had a major loss on MB today. Losing around 140 spins and .700 in audience. This happened before in April where it looked like the song was dead, but they turned it around.
However, it could signal that they finally dropped it.

I can't imagine why they would just let it go now that it's almost top 10. I'd think they'd at least give it a final push and secure a finish there, first.

Still higher than I thought it was going to go tbh. I thought it was going to stall in the Top 15 like "Next Girl" did.

A station has tweeted about her “new single Strange.” Knew they didn’t have the balls for Actin Up.

"Actin Up" would just be "Little Red Wagon" part 2 of a high selling Miranda song that is super polarizing and would probably flame out. "Strange" is a bit more safe and radio friendly while still sounding good overall.

Yeah it’s fine. Natalie is due a single anyways, a lot of Miranda fans hate it but it’s good live at least.

Yeah if they do acting up I hope it’s a later single so if it flops it won’t matter.
Give me Strange.

"Strange" is the "Bluebird" of this album so I figured it was logically the best choice for next. "Actin' Up" is a jam but why take the risk this early in the cycle when she has a song that is such a surefire hit. I can't imagine why they would just let it go now that it's almost top 10. I'd think they'd at least give it a final push and secure a finish there, first. It cracked the Top 10 last week. Still higher than I thought it was going to go tbh. I thought it was going to stall in the Top 15 like "Next Girl" did. I go by the BB charts, lol.

Today's update seals the deal, it's done (lost over 200 spins). Time for "Strange"!

Are they just giving up on this song??? It’s in total free fall. I’m surprised they are okay with letting the first single from a new album just barely reach top 10.

Honestly there’s only so much they can do, the song has been out since October. Since there are already songs on the new album showing better potentials why not drop this and move on instead of forcing this and hurting subsequent singles?

Miranda Lambert hasn't even had a lead single hit the top 10 (on BB, at least) since "Automatic" in 2014 ( 8 years ago). Also idk what you mean by "okay with it," they kept this afloat for months despite mediocre callout feedback and all signs point to radio not wanting to take it all the way to #1, so why bother sinking more resources into this for it to only peak a few spots higher and waste more months delaying a follow-up single that could be bigger? I'd be shocked if "Strange" peaked lower than "Cowboy," so I think this was the best move they could've made at this point.

She also had a #1 in Drunk while this was on the charts. So, it doesn’t really feel like a failure idk. Also it’s Miranda, her singles are always a shot in the dark with radio… I swear most of my favorites peaked at 10-7. Vice is what made me a huge fan of hers and look where that ended up.

Drunk definitely did not help IIWAC at all. It hurt it as I still hear Drunk way too much.

Now we’ll see if the Luke song is a single after “Kind of Love” and hurts Strange also 😃
