Well Carrie Underwood is co-hosting CCUSA two weeks from now so it does make sense why their are Power Up Ads. That would tell me that they are probably gonna try to push this to a top 5 peak, because Cole’s song is smashing right now and so is Luke Combs. #1 probably isn’t happening here, but a top 5 peak would easily outdo any single from the Cry Pretty era. I say get it to top 5 and then send either “Crazy Angels” or “Burn” to radio in time to debut it at the CMAs in November. Not that it was a high-impact song but "Southbound" did go #1 on MB and #3 on BB so I don't think it would be easily outdoing anything from Cry Pretty. "Ghost Story" already has outpeaked "Southbound" on the Hot 100 but it's also a lead single which should theoretically have more hype outside of radio. Edit: I should've said "easily outdoing everything" instead of "easily outdoing anything" but you get the point!

Yeah, GS might have narrowly outpeaked Southbound (by 3 spots) on the Hot 100, but I agree given their situations Southbound was bigger than this. Southbound had very little momentum going into it following the underperformance of CP and LW, so it's lower Hot 100 peak can somewhat be justified. GS was the opposite, she was just coming off of a high profile duet.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think a song can get maxed out for that long. If anything, it probably means that there is a “power up” request from now til September 26th when it’ll begin it’s push/max week for the October 2nd published update in which it’ll receive its final peak (hopefully inside the Top 5).

I'm confused by the Max Spins request considering GS lost spins this week. Yes, it's Labor Day week, but *every* other active song in the Top 15 has a positive building bullet.
Those 3 weeks could've been used to launch the follow-up. As we've seen with plenty of other tracks, a 40-week climb isn't set in stone. It's a shame that such a solid project is being mishandled.

Its a legit possibilty, but i wouldn’t go that far just yet. There are other songs on this list that i have seen no indication that they are gonna go to radio, i’ll use the songs listed by Catie Offerman and Danielle Bradberry as examples. I highly doubt “Get a Dog” will be her indroduction to terrestrial radio, and also when is the last time Danielle Bradbery released a song to radio? Despite releasing singles here and there over that same time to stream or buy. I also want to mention the Dustin Lynch song. He still has an active single going. For how much longer, who knows? It seems to be treading water lately. The Highway however, is fair game. They might play all of them.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is. She has a ton of options to pick from. This isn't my favorite track by any means, but it's not a bad choice. If it is the choice, I hope it does well. The chorus gets a little repetitive, but many of the biggest songs are big because of a memorable, repetitive chorus.

I'm confused by the Max Spins request considering GS lost spins this week. It is odd, though maybe it is just going to be a placeholder until that max week? That would be odd, though, as what are they even aiming for at this point? I guess top 5, but that will take several songs falling below it. Just seems pointless as what will getting top 5 even mean for anyone? June 26 - #13 July 3 - #12 July 10 - #11 July 17 - #11 July 24 - #12 July 31 - #11 August 7 - #11 August 14 - #9 August 21 - #9 August 28 - #9 September 4 - #9 September 11 - #8 Justin Moore's song will fall below "GS" this week, so it should move up to #7 for the September 18 chart.

I feel like I've explained this to you before why this song and songs on country radio are still being promoted. 1. Once this song falls it's gonna be a hot minute before Carrie Underwood probably even hits the Top 30 on radio no matter what she releases. 2. Having a Top 5 single is good press for Carrie Underwood especially heading into future tour and gives the next song a bit more momentum if it would've just been a Top 15/10 3. The song is not completely dead with radio so the label should still promote it. Also they are promoting this song for 3 more weeks so it should still get a solid peak.

I can see a #1 and maybe a top 10, but is there really much press surrounding a top 5? I just personally don't see where this song peaking at #5 versus #7 or #8 makes any difference, but I do see where launching a new single now as opposed to 1 or so months before the holiday freeze is beneficial.

We're beating a dead horse. Capitol is pushing this for three more weeks, and that's that. A Top 5 peak is still an admirable feat, and I agree with Ray about it being a good press. I'd argue that a Top 5 garners even more press and easily looks better than a Top 10...
I'm also pretty sure they're already gearing for an immediate single release in October because of the tour. I don't think we should be too worried about the "holiday freeze" just yet.

Is the holiday freeze even much of a thing anymore? I seem to recall it not playing a major role the last few years.

Has radio decided that they’re done with this? GH has had negative bullets for the last 2 days now.

But it's still gaining spins and it is being promoted until October 2nd so until then it'll still be hanging around.

At this point, just hand me the next single. This one grew on me to where I do enjoy it, but I'll be much more thrilled to have some of the songs that were immediate (and actually stand the chance of moving the needle).

They are only promoting this song for a couple more weeks and then its being dropped regardless which I imagine was the labels plan to promote this song until about this time regardless. Also don't take this the wrong way but something about this comment feels very smug and kind of like a "I told you so" type of comment.

I think it was okay holding on the past month or so to see if radio would convert it, to send it to #1, because it still gained decently, but over the past week or so it's updates have pretty much stalled out. If this had a chance of going #1 I'd say still keep promoting it, but since that most likely won't happen, due to radio stalling it out, I'm ready to move on.

I mean they are promoting it until October 2nd which isn't that far away (2 and a half more weeks). I also imagine it's last week it will go all out for gains like most songs do when they are maxed out.
