Seems strange that this has been losing “bullet” scores all week. Thoughts? Wouldn’t worry at all. I’d be very shocked if this didn’t go at least top 5; most likely #1. Radio is getting more on board as the weeks go by as it’s pulling in great adds #s, in addition for continuing to connect well.

^ Yeah it pulled in another 16 adds this week, so the adds continue to pour in.

This has lost a lot spins since far this week. I wonder if this is done.. If this and Wilder days are both done then I’ll be sad. I find this is Gabbys best single since “I Hope”. Do y’all see this going any higher???

I'd be shocked if this is done considering how well it was doing up until the past week or two. I expect it to rebound.

I’ve noticed this one struggling the past week or so as well, which is shocking, because it’s connecting well, and if the Monday Morning Intel is accurate, it looks like it’s testing pretty good as well.
Radio is being weird right now imo. They aren’t really fully getting behind any female song to send them up the chart quickly. Right now this and Ghost Story should be converted to higher rotation based on testing alone, but radio is in their own little world.

Super frustrating because I really enjoy this one.
Hopefully it will rebound (and it seems like it will from today's update?)

The issue is that “Footprints on the Moon” completely killed the radio momentum she had going after “I Hope” and “The Good Ones.” She needs to find a way to get that back.

It hasn't even been charting for 20 weeks (this will be week 18 on MB I believe), so there's nothing really to worry about yet. This is climbing at a nice pace especially as a 4th single that's following a single that completely missed the Top 50. This will still more than likely be another Top 10, if not another #1 for Gabby.

Radio seems to have taken a liking to this one recently. It's about time given how well it's been connecting on streaming/sales. Would be cool if it can go #1 before the end of the year, if it does then it will be the only female solo #1 of 2022.

While that is true we have gotten a really solid amount of female #1 and hits to where things are still looking up overall for women in country music. I do think one issue is that none of the women are reaching the heights of popularity Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and Taylor Swift had in the late 2000s and early 2010s. But I do think things are looking up for women in general for country music these last few years (also even if Kenny Chesney is on the song "Half Of My Hometown" is pretty much a solo female song).

I don’t think the answer is just to try make every female at Carrie Underwood’s level. I would rather hear 8-9 females at Kelsea Ballerini or Carly Pearce levels instead of 2 females at Underwood or Swift level.

You had your A listers- Shania, Faith, Reba, Martina, Dixie Chicks B listers- Sara Evans, jo dee Messina, Leann Rimes, Patty Loveless C listers- lee Ann Womack, Deana Carter, etc.

But I do think things are looking up for women in general for country music these last few years (also even if Kenny Chesney is on the song "Half Of My Hometown" is pretty much a solo female song). This is true, but to speak to your second point, radio remains a huge player in getting women to the heights that you described. Maren and Kelsea were the only serious recent contenders, and both have had less radio success since COVID than before, for no real reason. There are obviously lots of other women being played and getting a hit here and there, but there's no woman having sudden radio success like, for example, Bailey Zimmerman flying up the chart because of a viral song. Hailey Whitters is far more established, and also has a viral song, but you don't see that impacting her radio success. It's as if since, like, 2016-18, radio swapped consistent female hitmakers for a large class of women earning one, MAYBE two hits and calling it good. See: Tenille Arts, Lauren Alaina, Lindsay Ell, Ashley McBryde, Ingrid Andress, etc. As of now, the exceptions here are Carly, Gabby, and Lainey, but even any of them could move into the former category at any point. There is no radio gal at all right now. Meanwhile, there are at least 15-20 men who could send most songs to #1 no problem. We have to actually cultivate and support a long career of hits for women artists, rather than give them a hit and move along.

BZ's streaming numbers are huge and Fall In Love is not even the best performing one (Rock And A Hard Place will peak at #1 in country radio under 20 weeks don't @ me). Streaming for Everything She Ain't are solid but not that exceptional and constant. (Also Hailey Whitters is not that established--both songs you are comparing are debut country radio singles.)

Yes, it is obviously not a perfect comparison. The sentiment is still there. A random male Tik Tok artist is able to fly up the chart, along with a ton of other men, and ZERO women are able to do that. You can point to streaming as to why they're playing one artist over another, but that argument falls short when you look at the women who DO stream well yet still not be played.

I am glad that radio is being a little more receptive to playing more women lately, but I agree with jab820 that we still have a long way to go because there isn't any female in the genre that's debuted since the Carrie-Miranda-Taylor trifecta of dominance that comes anywhere close to being on that kind of level with country radio. This Gabby song may have been following a flop, but all the signs of a smash have been there since the moment "Pick Me Up" was released, and it's still going to be close to a year-long chart run. They need to not only play MORE women, but play those women MORE.

Falls off the Billboard Hot 100 this week and is down -15 spots on the Hot Country Songs chart. The Amazon stream losses hit this one hard!

Wonder why it was removed. It's finally starting to get good footing. Top 40 on the hot 100 would've been a lock before, but now i'm not sure.

This should enter the top ten with the next few days. Great to see. Looks like maybe up to 8 within the next week.

Initially I thought this would be a bigger impacting single (though it’s doing well on radio.) I was following Gabby since pre idol so I’ve seen her journey to becoming a country artist. Currently she has one of the better “vocal skill wise” female country voices to me but I still kinda feel the same about her tho in that I don’t know what kind of artist she really is and what Luke Bryan said at her audition being a jukebox still sticks with me. Other than her great voice and looks, what new things is she doing or saying in the format? I definitely think she will be here for a while but there’s a disconnect for me with her. Don’t really know much about her or her personality at all other than her wild family lol

^ While not the size of “I Hope” or “The Good Ones” I’d say this one has been pretty big within itself. If people are expecting the rest of her singles to be the size of her first two then expect to be let down, cause those were two of the biggest female country songs over the past decade. I’d say to be the fourth single off of a nearly 2.5 year old album this is a pretty big hit.
Good chart perspectives for going #1, great streaming on Spotify, great sales; all after following a flop which many people thought she’d just close the era after. This still will be a good size hit when it’s all said and done.

This is easily going down as the biggest solo female country single of 2022, so if this is a letdown in anyone's eyes, then only through the lens of comparing it to the big hits from the boys, because "Pick Me Up" has/will out-perform all her lady counterparts on both radio and non-radio metrics by the time this one wraps its run.

Oh I’m not denying that this is a nice sized hit especially in today’s market and Gabby not being a male lol. I’m a fan of hers and really like her voice and realistically any female getting significant radio play to me these days is a success haha. I’m more saying I couldn’t tell you who Gabby is, what her unique contribution to country music is, what’s her actual story, message and what she wants to say though her music other than being a fantastic voice and somewhat Carrie-light.
Of course, there’s still a lot of time and she’s still going and still has a lot of life to live but just kinda stating my feelings about how I’ve been feeling for her career and what kind of actual imprint and legacy she’s leaving on the country music format as a whole rather than just focusing on the singles doing well. Maybe I’ll learn more if/when she releases an album followed by her own headlining tour to gauge the actual impact.

I will say among solo female songs for country radio this will be the biggest and it is probably not that close (I do think from what I have seen "Circles Around This Town" might be able to just squeak in this year end Hot 100). But in terms of all the hit songs of this year (Top 10 on radio) "Pick Me Up" is probably gonna land in the upper middle tier of the hits this year, it's not a complete low peaking commercial dud like "Never Wanted To Be That Girl", "New Truck", "With A Woman You Love", "At The End Of A Bar", "Best Things Since Backroads", "Wild Hearts" for example. But it is also probably not gonna end up being anywhere near as successful as the huge hits of this year (any of the 3 Morgan Wallen singles, "Til You Can't", "Take My Name", "She Had Me At Heads Carolina").
"Pick Me Up" has definitely been a pretty big hit all things considered and among solo female songs it is obviously gonna reign supreme and definitely deserves to hit #1. It's just not a song that if you compare to the landscape of every song that has been a hit this year has reached the upper echelons of the chart.

I think what Gabby accomplished with pick me up is huge. Footprints on the moon flopped bad. And with most artists had they released something off same album it would have flopped again! But Gabby releases pick me up and it’s top 10 and climbing with realistic shot at #1. I expect big things from Album #2

I expect big things from Album #2 I also think part of the reason she chose to pick another single from this album was because she was so far away from releasing the second album (only recording it now). Why it took so long, I don't know! Definitely impressive, but not like she had a choice.

I'm really hoping this can go top 10 on Billboard this week but I don't think anything is going recurrent out of the top 10 anytime soon.
