Unfortunately I don’t think this will be going #1. I don’t really think it’ll be get top 3 either. It’s just too far behind the others and would’ve required the others to stall completely for it to pass them. On top of that Jordan’s label appears to be trying to prop him up so he can get a second week. A little disappointed ngl because this song definitely deserved to go #1 and if it were a male it would have. I really don’t get the poor conversions as this has always connected considering it’s already certified as platinum. I think a #3 peak on Mediabase is likely. I can’t see it passing Jordan or Kane/Katelyn though. At the end of the day, this did really well for a 4th single and with an upcoming song that Luke Combs co-wrote coming, I think she’ll be back at #1 in 2024.

I wonder if she’s going to stick more with country radio airplay (Pick Me Up) or try for more of the crossover (I hope) as she progresses in her career. A couple years ago I saw a lot more crossover potential in her but now I’m thinking she’s going to cater more strictly to country audiences.

I always thought she was going to crossover, but given the little information we have on her sophomore project, it seems like she's staying with country. I wouldn't be shocked if she gets crossover pushes at HAC and AC formats though. HAC seems to be very welcoming of country artists crossing over as currently Parmalee, has a song in the Top 20 and Kelsea Ballerini and Ingrid Andress have songs in the Top 25.

Would love to see this become her 3rd straight Billboard #1 but doubt it's going to happen.

It wouldn't be her third straight #1 since "Footprints on the Moon" missed the top 40 in between the streak, but it also doesn't look like it'll be a #1 hit at all (unfortunately) so it's a moot point anyway.

Peaks at #6 on BB, just narrowly missing out on the top 5 thanks to Cole Swindell continuing to hold on. Wish it could've edged him out for a #5 finish, but despite it's wavering finish, this has been a very strong hit nonetheless. Looking forward to the launch of her sophomore era this year.

Any chance they keep pushing this one because it's so close? Especially on mediabase?

It’s not quite impossible, but literally all the stars will have to align on tomorrows MB update for it to happen. She’s going to need another huge gain like she had today, Kane & Nate will have to gain minimal for tomorrows update, and Jordan will need to take a large loss for it to be possible. I think she may be able to eek out a top 3 peak, but #1 will be very difficult.

Kind of okay with this peaking at #4 on Mediabase and #6 on Billboard because while this song started strong connecting with people it kind of petered out near the end (once it hit the Top 20/15) and besides Jason Aldean's latest absolute nothing of a hit this has been probably one of the weakest links in the Top 10 (evident by its Hot 100 peak looking to be in the mid 50s). That and where it peaked (near or at Top 5 on country radio) feels like the natural peak for this song.
I do think Gabby Barrett potentially has some longevity in the genre (provided they don't screw up the lead single choice), I am just gonna be glad to never hear this song again because the radio stations where I live at have overplayed this song so much despite it's peak saying otherwise.

As much as I agree that this wasn't a total smash hit and maybe didn't "deserve" #1, SO many - and this statement has been made endlessly across Pulse - SO many men have complete duds as singles that go #1 despite having WAY less impact than some of the recent female singles that have missed #1 (Wishful Drinking, Ghost Story, Circles, etc). As much as "Pick Me Up" may not deserve #1 based on what we think a #1 should be, it DOES deserve it based on what country radio thinks it should be, which only continues to prove that the ladies are held to impossible standards.
Looking forward to Lainey and Carly hitting a full double chart #1 here soon, but if/when they don't, we'll know exactly why.

idk I felt like it was deserving of #1. A big reason it had a lower hot 100 peak is due to having been taken out of the major country playlists. It was removed from the main Amazon Playlist about 2-3 months ago and removed from Spotify’s Hot Country Songs Playlist about a month ago. Feel like that had to have hindered its performance.
Still won’t argue that it was very successful given it was the fourth single following a flop, from a two year old album. It’s just unsettling that this has performed better than a lot of male artists and they get a pass while the woman doesn’t. Nothing new with them, still annoying though.

Yea I feel like this was its natural peak as well but was still a successful run and song for her, though may not be remembered much a couple years from now. Wouldn’t be surprised to see her get some kind of CCM crossover push or singles leaning towards “inspirational” in the future either

I can see it easily smashing on that format.

I can see it easily smashing on that format. I am of the opinion that following the enormous success of "I Hope" and then subsequent baby, she or really her overbearing husband does not want to be a huge successful artist. How else could you explain them not sending "The Good Ones" to Pop/Hot AC and "Got Me" to Christian AC.

Do you think her team would be confident enough in the Good ones, her second single, to invest the large amounts of $ to push a song to pop and hot ac? Idt it would chart high enough on those formats to make enough of an impact on the songs revenue to have warranted a ROI. Got me to CMM on the other hand, I felt like they could’ve simultaneously pushed her to that format while pushing her to country (MUCH less financial investment), though CCM formats ROI is Much less lucrative than bigger mainstream formats producing higher streams and sales, it would definitely assist with her Overall awareness to another format and a whole other market for her if country radio cools on her.

Considering the success her debut single had crossing over to Pop/Hot AC, yes, I do think her team was confident enough to push The Good Ones. It was connecting similarly to "I Hope", and even ended up the technical bigger hit on Country as it held #1 for 3 weeks. I think something else stopped her team from pushing The Good Ones as a crossover hit, and I think it's exactly who and what I am suspecting.

Funny enough, right after I posted, Gabby announced a duet with Colton Dixon on his recent biggest CCM, which has topped the CCM charts for 10 weeks and was also the longest running No. 1 Mediabase Christian AC song of 2022, so maybe theyre already starting that CCM push. I know her man went to school to be a pastor and lies HEAVILY on that “Jesus complex” so I don’t see why he would be in favor for her to be CCM leaning.

I was always very curious why “The Good Ones” wasn’t pushed to other formats after seeing how successful “I Hope” was after they did. Maybe the reason y’all listed is the reason why, cause I always thought it was a missed opportunity on her teams part.

Part of why this tapered off and doesn't feel like the big smash it started out as is because it literally took an entire year to get up the country charts. In a fair world where women aren't saddled with laborious chart runs, this would've been a #1 airplay hit for her by like... last September. I fully believe if it would've gone up the chart at a quicker speed, it would've probably done much better. But after a year of climbing the country charts, it's natural for its sales/streaming presence to taper off. The same thing basically just happened to "Wishful Drinking" recently, and these are far from the only 2 examples. To say it doesn't "deserve" #1 is only getting part of the story/based off the tail-end of its chart run.
