Artist: Kolby Cooper Single: "Excuses" Writers: Kolby Cooper, Jordan Walker, Brett Tyler Album: Boy From Anderson County To The Moon Label: Wheelhouse Records/BBRMG/Kolby Cooper Music Impact Date: September 12th, 2022
The debut mainstream country radio single from Kolby Cooper will be "Excuses." It was released last year and on his new album, which came out on Friday.
Kolby's another Texas artist with a built-in fanbase. He signed a record deal with Wheelhouse/BBRMG in the spring of 2021. There will be a radio edit for "Excuses" but I have not yet heard it.

Been jamming to this for months. It’s a smash.

Absolute jam. Has a vintage summery type of feel to it. Really hope this can break through and become a big hit, it’s such a phenomenal song.

This song is great and has smash written all over it, but I'm surprised they waited this long. I really expected them to try this at radio a year ago. It's very much in the Luke Combs vein which I imagine will translate well for country radio.

It's very much in the Luke Combs vein which I imagine will translate well for country radio. They waited to find a song that grabbed their attention with streams and sales, and decided ultimately "Excuses" was the best chance for a hit (which to be yes, by far; it's a no-brainer). The plan was to always introduce him to radio in 2022. Kolby's got a little more creative freedom with his record deal. He gets to dictate when an album gets to be released, which it was this past Friday -- before the radio single came out.

I've been purposefully not listening to this too much so I wouldn't be burnt on it by the time it went to radio lol
And it took waaay longer than I thought but I can't wait to see this climb like I think it will!

Such a potential hit, been listening to it for a while now. The whole album is fantastic.

Heard this on the radio for the first time a few days ago and it’s been my jam since! This song should be a #1!

1 of 2 songs entering the Country Airplay top 40 for the first time this week. The other being Tyler Hubbard’s “Dancin’ In The Country”.

Jeez this hasn't been updated in over 3 months. This to me seems like it keeps sitting at 40 and I think the only thing holding it back is Iheart not adding it to aftermidnite yet. This has gotten some decent Cumulus airplay and Summit media seems to love it so I'm kind of getting frustrated Iheart won't add it yet. The callout is okay at 38 on MMI but I see this kind of slowly gaining into the top 30 but beyond that it seems like it will have a hard time. Hopefully they only keep this 5-10 more weeks and not go the slow path but given the chart runs recently we might have another "Son of a" or "Note to self" here.

Sorry for the double post but it appears this will go recurrent next week as it has lost a decent amount of spins and audience. I loved this song and it’s sad it might go but I hope kolby can catch on with something else
