This isn't catchy enough for me to be all about it. Maybe it'll grow on me like "Fancy Like" had to, but I've tried listening to this a few times now and it's not clicking yet.

Drinking Songs has arrived. I’m also very annoyed no one thought to add a colon to the album title.

This song is hilarious. Joke songs always take a delicate balance in the lyrics to avoid being cringe, but this one worked for me.

I’ll be curious to see what’s next after this one. Eventually he’s gonna have to release something besides novelty songs, and I’ll be curious to see how radio reacts to that.

I really hope "Briefcase" is pushed next. It would be a great single for the fall/winter, is much more stripped back and would likely give Lori McKenna a hit as an artist!

Top 10 smash on both charts, and climbing the charts like it’s 2012. <3.

Really bad callouts for this one (36.5 net positive) and it is close to Trouble With A Heartbreak (best callout) on chart.

So radio will stall Miranda’s current for bad callouts, but will likely send this one to #1 with worse callouts. We love some sexism.

The callout scores just came out so it is possible they could start stalling it as early as next week ("AA" is a huge sales and streaming monster as well as it is at #28 on the Hot 100 is very great for a song that is only just inside the Top 10 on country radio). I doubt it stalls but it is possible.

It probably has more to do with how big of a streaming/sales monster this one is. There is no comparison in this song vs Cowboy in terms of consumption. (I love Miranda!)

True 100%, although I do think that the gap between airplay peak (16) and hot 100 peak (53) shows that Cowboy deserved a little better on radio, since it was connecting decent. It does make me think back to My Church & Vice though, who were pretty big sellers/streamers, but radio couldn't let them get past right around the top 10, due to their callouts. I wish those would have gotten a free pass like this one is most likely getting.

I'm thrilled to see Walker finally get this success after all of these years. I hope that "AA" keeps going for a few more weeks, and then the attention will turn towards "Briefcase".

I wanna see how he performs with a song that has substance. I took his past two singles for what they were but now I want something deeper so we’ll see. Glad he’s finally getting his due tho. Took FOREVER lol

A brand new single is coming on July 15th, according to Billboard's Country Update.

Looks like this song is done as it's lost over a million in audience the past 2 days on Mediabase as I imagine radio told the label they weren't pushing this any higher. Kind of happy to see this miss the top spot even if it did connect very well.

No outlandish final push at all where he suddenly gains hundreds of spins a day and millions in audience after having diminishing returns for the past 1-2 months barely moving? Surprising. Glad it did as well as it did, but also happy that not every song gets an over-the-top chart manipulation tactic at the end of the line.
Also, even though it came up short here, it did hit #1 in Canada, which "Fancy Like" didn't do, and it was a very solid top 5 hit so definitely a big win for Walker Hayes all around. And his next single being something brand new makes me think they're really intent on keeping his momentum going.

His next release needs to be something that isn't novelty trash.

^^i dont think walker hayes knows anything else. It's definitely his specialty, but there's at least a good 3-5 songs on the recent record that don't fall into that category. I agree with christianlarson9 that "Briefcase" would've been a nice single to switch things up for him.
