Scotty McCreery - "It Matters To Her"

[Kanenrá:ke]

According to the 2022 Summer Country Aircheck Issue, "It Matters To Her" is going to be the next single.

Artist: Scotty McCreery
Single: "It Matters To Her"
Album: Same Truck
Label: Triple Tigers
Impact Date: September 2022

Easily the best choice for the third single. This was one of the only songs besides Damn Strait that’s on my favorites playlist from his newest album.

[McCreerian]

This is such a 90s meets now sound! It sounds like something Garth would have sung back in the day. It's definitely the best choice for 3rd single. My runner up was "Small Town Girl" so crossing my fingers there could be a 4th single, but given charting time I'd be happy to start a new era after this with new Scotty music!

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Solid single choice. This did not grab my attention when I first tried his album, but it is sounding great here, and it is joining my playlist! With the momentum of Damn Strait, hope he is becoming an artist who can get #1 without taking as much time as 40+ weeks. 

[dwindeezy]

SOLID choice and was leaning towards this one for the next single. Definitely strong enough to continue his #1 streak but not sure enough to continue to move the needle like Damn Strait is doing (more like an In Between impacting kinda single). I actually hope he goes for 4 singles this time around since Damn Strait was his fastest rising single and hope that gave his singles more momentum to not be year long chart runs. Though the songs have much less streaming impact than last era (and streaming has been down overall), I think he’s on his way to becoming an A lister if he keeps this up. He’s still somewhat underrated in my eyes.

[HeyHeyHey]

This song is great! Scotty has done a great job of alternating between solid uptempo songs and slower songs with great lyrics.

[dwindeezy]

With Scotty’s #1 streak and momentum he’s built, I think he’s almost at the point where his level can think to release a high risk/high reward type single (usually deep emotional ballads like the Waiter) that’s not super radio friendly but has the name recognization and momentum to make it a hit. He’s really in a phenomenal place in his career and I really see him being an a lister in the coming years.

Also he could probably kill with a duet with a more traditional leaning female artist his next album (Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde etc).

Impact date is September 12th according to AllAccess.

This song has everything to become another smash hit for Scotty. Let's goooooooo

[McCreerian]

The day Scotty's album came out my first thought was, this is Garth style 90s on this song. It sounds like a song that could be even bigger than "Damn Strait." And the album has solid choices for a 4th single if this song moves at a steady pace.

[dwindeezy]

This is actually growing on me and think it might appeal to more folks than I initially thought. Really interested to see how much momentum Damn Strait gave him and if this single can be a faster rising hit as well. If so, he could pull 4 singles out of this album.

Also selfishly hope he milks the birth of his first kid in November and gets press around it during this single era. I’m betting fantastic music will come from this new chapter in his life and hope it reflects In his next project pushing him to A- list status.

[dwindeezy]

I’m really looking forward to this ones chart run. Don’t think it got much if any early adds but I think this was a good move for him and his team to get another hit. I’d love for this album to go 4 singles deep and attempt a risky but rewarding final single accepting possibly underperformance on radio. I feel like regardless, his next album could be game changing for him at this point in his life and career.

[TeamTitleist]

Solid add day so far. 39 adds is a good start.

[raylatch98]

2nd most added this week with 39 stations

While playing a new song last week at one of his shows,  Scotty said that the song will be on the Deluxe Album out this Fall.

Not sure how long "It Matters To Her" will takes to peak but obviously they know the new album won't be ready anytime soon.

A delete album would be perfect for him this era actually, didn’t know he had plans for that! It’s kinda like Gabby Barrett’s recent album rollout except I hope this doesn’t flop like Footprints in the Moon (which I don’t think it will). It had a solid adds day too so things are looking solid for him.

[recordyear]

Debut at #60 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.

[dwindeezy]

This got another 6 adds and is already up to 54 on the chart (correct me if I’m wrong lol). That’s a GREAT start for Scotty and if the stars align, I could see this really starting to get traction the end of this year/beginning of next year after the birth of his son, hopefully peaking in the spring, which is perfect timing for this kind of sound for me. It’s doing okay streaming wise (almost 2 million Spotify) but isn’t on any major playlists on Apple or Spotify (though starting to get nice amazon music placements) or significant ranked high enough on the playlists it’s on to impact its streaming quite yet and usually Triple Tigers is MAD late on that for some reason with Scotty hence his lower streaming numbers this era. This sounds like another hit to me from Scotty and think he’ll release another single from the deluxe album next year as he‘ll probably want to spend some downtime with his new family next year before jumping into new music and all that. Smart move having the third single being one from the regular album as the a new single can be chosen from the 6 new tracks on the deluxe. I don’t even think this needs to be a huge needle mover for him and more cementing his radio consistency (which is his strength). Hoping one of the new tracks is a standout. PD Brent Michaels from KUZZ (country station in Bakersfield) chose this as his hot pick on all access and said this that pretty much nails how I feel.

“Scotty McCreery is so underrated. He delivers hit after hit that listeners love. He may not be a huge streaming artist always, but it doesn’t mean the songs aren’t connecting with audiences. I’d say the opposite.”

Total adds are actually up to 60 now. 41 on add day, 13 2nd week and 6 more this week.

I meant 54 on the mediabase chart but 60 total adds is great.

I misunderstood your number. My bad. Should be inside top 50 soon. Looking forward to watching this one climb the charts.

I’m convinced this is a cover of an unreleased George Strait track from 2001. Another good song from Scotty.

[dwindeezy]

Something interesting to note about this one is that at the same chart position and spins/audience, You Time was getting 12k Spotify streams daily, Damn Strait 15k but this one is already getting 32k daily Spotify streams with little playlisting and a third single.

[dwindeezy]

Yea I definitely think Damn Strait gave Scotty a lot more momentum cause this already got added to Big Country, New Boots and Breakout Country playlist already and Early playlist support has actually been a Scottys weakest point this era. This is getting 60k daily Spotify streams already while Damn Strait was getting about 55k entering the top 25 on radio and before the Hot Country playlist add. This one might be a nice sized impacting hit for him continuing his momentum. I feel like you almost can’t ignore his star potential in the format at this point.

[McCreerian]

I've seen it from the start. He's going to be selling out the big Arenas, it's just a matter of time.

You would have thought that following the success of "Damn Strait" this song would be doing better than it currently is. Looking at this morning's Mediabase report, radio play sure isn't improving and with minimal adds, it most likely will not get any better any time soon.

Not optomistic that this song will still be in the top 50 on Mediabase by the end of the week. Very frustrating

It’s doing well actually. If it enters top 50 by the end of the week it will have taken only 1 month to enter. It took Miranda 2.5 months to enter.

It has been at #50 in the Mediabase chart since October 2nd but has been hanging by a thread since then.

I somehow thought that it would do better with the momentum coming out of his previous song' success.

Scotty's not an A-lister, so it's not the least bit surprising. The song is doing just about as well as could be expected given the glacial way the modern chart works. I still expect the song to be a hit, but it's going to slow grind like most of Scotty's previous climbs.

[dwindeezy]

Had his son on Monday so huge congrats to him and his family! He’s really at a great place in his life and career. Kinda crazy to realize I’ve watched that kid grow since he was 17. We were the same age when he auditioned lol. Damn I’m behind on my goals 🙏🏾
