I guess this Monday Morning Intel Survey doesn’t mean much to radio stations after all. This song has been in the top 10 on that survey (or close to it) for weeks and yet top stations won’t play it. It is running on fuel and is only supported by the smaller stations. The song is in the bottom half of almost every 6.0+ station’s top 50 chart. Gosh, it doesn’t even appear on 1 of them. And the spins that it is getting, are mostly all overnight or late evenings. In the last few days, 15 of those stations have substantially dropped spins. Let just say that they had only varied from 20 to 30 spins weekly to begin with while songs much below it are getting 70 spins per week. At this point, I think it is questionable whether it will even make top 10 on the charts. Really? I get that some of the top stations don't have this in the top rotation. But this song has been moving just fine on the charts and has a healthy bullet of 116 on Mediabase as of today. This song has been doing fine since the start of its chart run.

But this has happened for other McCreery's singles that have gone #1. His songs usually tests well & the big stations are generally late to start playing him. Also, there are several testing surveys. MMI isn't the important one. National Callout is the important one. I think the song is testing well on National Callout, too.

This song sounds like a #1 smash and he's coming off of 5 #1's. I just don't get it. He sold out Coyote Joes here in Charlotte for the 3rd time and neither station here even played the song the week he was here when they were giving away tickets! It has to be the politics of the industry at play and it's so not right with a song good as this. The first time I heard the album this song stood out as perfect single material!

Another reason why country radio needs to disappear. I play everything I want on Spotify ad-free

@ these hyperbolic responses. This is likely going to breeze to #1 in a few months and has easily been his fastest and smoothest chart climb on country radio to date. I am absolutely confused by all the panicking that this is somehow stalling out. If this song's excellent chart run is causing all this anxiety, I can't imagine what his fans went through every other time he had a song at radio.

Happy to see this move into the Top 10. This even jumped a MW song this week, although I'm sure that won't last. Excited to see what will be next after this one is done. A new song from the next project or a 4th single from Same Truck.

A new song from the next project or a 4th single from Same Truck.For his fans and those interested, it will be a new song from the next project. So says Scotty in an interview that just came out today but probably took place a couple weeks ago. outsider.com/entertainment/music/country-music/5-questions-with-scotty-mccreery-new-dad-life-touring-with-brooks-dunn-upcoming-album-more/Your last album was Same Truck in 2021, so I image you’re working on a new studio album? Scotty McCreery: Yeah, we’ve been writing a ton, which has been great. I’m definitely much more of an album cycle writer than I am an everyday writer. To me, it’s great because you get all these ideas together—and then it’s just a fountain of ideas and thoughts once you get into the writing mode. We’re going in the studio next week, actually, to cut the first batch of songs. And hopefully, that means once “It Matters To Her” is finished up—we’ll see where it does—it won’t be too long after that to have the next single out from the new project. So, we’re excited.

Congratulations to Scotty. It Matters To Her is officially top 10 (8th top 10). I'm on board for this song to reach the top.

Maybe Charlotte will finally start playing it. Our stations are a joke. WSOC is the worst of the 2 though.
Congrats to Scotty! First listen to this album I knew it would be an eventual top 10 and probably #1 hit!

Well I think we can say the same thing we have said multiple times this could get mediabase number one but probably not billboard.

We all know that this song is not going to make to #1 but they could at least pretend to make an effort to try to get it to #2

I expect that Scotty will be getting them next week.

I think this has a chance of getting the #1 on Mediabase, but I have serious doubts about Billboard especially if it is gonna start pushing next week and then be done, as there is a ten million audience gap between this and "Last Night" in terms of audience on Billboard as of last week and I don't know if it will make up that gap.

I don’t think it’ll reach BB. Am I the only one who thinks Mediabase might be difficult as well? It’s 2000 spins behind “Last Night.” Unless they are able to pull some strings to make “Last Night” lose spins, I just don’t see it happening. That would be the biggest push to #1 that I’ve ever seen.

Scotty's got a 50/50 chance to keep his #1 streak going on MB. It's going to be close whether or not he can overtake MW by Sunday. On BB I think he'll end up with a #2 peak with MW continuing his run at the top.

One thing to watch is when does MW begins to push OTAAT while pulling back on Last Night. With negative spins today compared to yesterday perhaps this is the week that happens, which may give IMTH a chance at a Mediabase only #1.

"One Thing at a Time" isn't even close to the top 5 rn, let alone #1. They won't be pushing that one for awhile, especially when "Last Night" is still sitting strong at the top. No way they'd slow it down for OOTAT anytime soon.

At some point they will need to scale back on LN and convert those spins over to OTAAT, to get it moving up the charts. The question is not if, but when that happens.

Yes, but that likely won't happen for another 4-5 weeks or so tho. Scotty's song won't benefit from it unless it happened right now.

Isn't Power Up mean that the song is not getting the final push yet but the labels are asking stations to ramp up the airplay for that song and prepare for its final push after the Power Up thing period had ended for that song? So the final push should be after June 5th as right now they are only asking for the increase in airplay, not to max spins yet. If it were the final straw, then they would go with Max spins now til whatever date instead of going with power up now.

I thought that usually they max the song the week following them cohosting CCUSA. Since Scotty cohosted this past weekend, wouldn't he be gunning for #1 this week?

I remember about a month or too ago, MCA had ads asking since "Handle On You" by Parker McCollum was in the top 5, they asked for "Power Up" and then early this month, they had it going for "Max Spins Now". So who knows, I don't believe this is the push week for "It Matters To Her", it may be during the first full week of June. I don't know folks, sorry.

I do think it is possible this is maxing though just due to the CCUSA schedule and the specific date mentioning when to stop.

I think this is the song's final push week. I predict this will be #2 on both charts. It is too far back on both charts even with a big push. If the song last week had a better week, I think it would have been possible with the push this week to have a Mediabase #1. 1900+ spins is a lot of spins to increase in 1 week & on a holiday week, too.
