I will always maintain that "Long Trip Alone" is Dierks Bentley's best single and his best music video as well imo. Just for you, a chart and video for Long Trip Alone. Ready? BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING APRIL 14, 2007: 1. Last Dollar Fly Away-Tim McGraw-Curb 2. Wasted-Carrie Underwood-Arista 3. Beer In Mexico-Kenny Chesney-BNA 4. Stand-Rascal Flatts-Lyric Street 5.

Enters the Mediabase Top 10 at #10 with a bullet of 170. Curious to see if this has enough left in the tank to hit #1 or if it will come up short as this hasn't done poorly but it has never had a week since hitting the Top 30/25 late last year that convinced me it was about to take off and truly go the full distance. Callout seems good (#12 Monday Morning Intel), sales and streaming still aren't great but the good news is that while it isn't standing out connecting wise, I imagine since nothing on the album has really connected very well the label will stick with this until it completely dries out.

I can actually see this one sneaking its way to the top. It would be a very soft hit but I think it's very well suited to radio. Timing will be crucial from here on out.

The other good news I forgot to mention is that the songs below it don't look like ones that should block it as Brett Young can only last a couple weeks max, Keith Urban, Dan + Shay, and Cody Johnson are all doing solid but none scream songs that will block from the top (still have doubts on Keith Urban hitting the top), and anyone lower I don't think will catch up so that should help it. I just need it to start having some spark in it, now that it's Top 10.

Don't underestimate Daddy Dierks! He's still got some hits in the chamber.

Is this being maxed out this week? It's updates lead me to believe that is and it wouldn't be surprising since there isn't really any point in waiting out the next few months to get a #1 for such a low impact song. Also, on AllAccess, "Sunsets In Colorado" was listed as a Hot Pick, so maybe that'll be the next single.

Also I doubt it takes a few months for this to hit #1 as I believe once Parker McCollum and Hardy/Lainey Wilson clear out next month, this would be next in line to hit #1.

I feel like his last several singles have done this, where they kind of languish in the teens and then airplay takes off once they hit the top 10 and start converting. I haven't seen any indication that they're maxing and honestly he may have a fairly clear path to #1 in the coming weeks. Definitely a soft single but to me it doesn't seem to make sense to drop it now.

@ this moving up to #2 on the BB Country Airplay chart and yet still being nearly 10 million audience impressions behind Bailey Zimmerman.

This is his lowest peaking lead single on the Hot 100 and 5th lowest single overall. Sad considering this is one of his better albums

This is maxing right now on the charts and is #1 on Mediabase as of today, but man I really hope "Rock And A Hard Place" can nab one more week on Billboard airplay as this has been such a nothing burger of a hit (#22 on Hot Country Songs and only #77 on the Hot 100 so far) in quite a while.

If MMI is to be believed, this song doesn't even have great callouts, but of course it's going to #1 in both charts if RAAHP falls and this song rises at a similar rate to wait in the truck last week lol

I don’t care for either song but I hope Dierks gets number one just because I’m sick of seeing Rock and a hard place stealing number ones.(maybe we get really lucky and you didn’t gets to the top) just kidding that’s not happening

All The Right Places and Something Real are the catchiest songs that would work on radio. The latter being my favorite on the album

I like me some Dierks Bentley, but this hasn't earned any weeks at #1, let alone when we've seen so many bigger hits come up short. I will straight up be kinda pissed if this gets to the top on BB.

Looks like we win in this case .indulgecountry as "Rock And A Hard Place" just BARELY blocks "Gold" from the Billboard #1 (331k made the difference here). This will still get the MB #1 but I am at least glad this joined Lainey, Carly, and Hardy/Lainey, as MB only #1s.
