Yes!!

If this doesn’t become huge I’ll be absolutely flabbergasted!

He’s got everything he needs and this song sounds like a smash, there’s no reason I can see why this would fail.

Between him, Kolby, Nate Smith and Bailey I’ll be very interested to see who will have the longer career. They all feel like such surefire bets and I can see them all being superstars of the genre. Certainly a lot of interest around them all.

This is such a JAM!!!!!! So glad they're pushing this! I absolutely adore Drake Milligan, and he's too good to not be an A lister in country music to be completely honest. Very excited to see where his career might go. His voice is just...

[zack97]

Yes! I've loved seeing both him and Chapel Hart find traction on America's Got Talent this year, so this is the perfect debut single choice.

Also, I don't know if it's the Brett Beavers involvement or what, but I get *very* strong early Dierks Bentley vibes from this in sound and his delivery.

Yea I think this guy is gonna be a star in the format in a big way. I’ve been saying this for a while now but now that independent artists are thriving from social media, labels are looking for new ways to break their artists as we’re past the days where only radio can truly break artist, and I think we’re going to be seeing much more labels using opportunities like AGT (who’ve clearly revisited their scouting and show contracts lol), shoot even shows like Big Brother, DWTS and survivor type shows and key sync placements like Kate Bush’s resurgence more to build their artists buzz. They gotta start being innovative now and provide more/Better opportunities Cause TikTok, IG etc are showing them up these days. It’s Kinda like how Love and Hip Hop and those shoes do for urban and r&b artists.

This is fantastic! Much better than "Over Drinkin' Under Thinkin'" even, which I really enjoyed. I can see this being a big hit. It's throwback and traditional in the best way, but also not something that I can see radio being hesitant to play. It would slot in perfectly among the Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson, etc. crowd. Hoping we continue to see new male artists break through with that kind of country sound, instead of more faceless nobodies that all sound the same.

[CoJoFan]

This one is good but “Kiss Goodbye All Night” better be a single too. It’s even better I think.

Second most added with 26 adds this week and 30 total historic adds.

[fearlessarrow]

Not that I'm the most knowledgeable about 90s and 2000s country music but I feel like this song just came straight out of that era. I really enjoyed this on first listen and I have to give his album a spin sometime! I would love it if this song blew up.

[McCreerian]

This song and his whole album is like a current 90s project! I hope this makes it to #1 and he becomes the next big artist in Country!

Not a fan of Drake Milligan, but this week on The Voice they had an artist called Bryce Leatherwood who, imo could be the next Luke Comb. He is that good. Of course is is also on Blake Shelton's team , so that should help.

I just heard it and I love it! His sound is indeed reminiscent of '90s Country. I hope this record becomes a massive hit!

This post is completely off-topic.

Debut at #55 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.

Looks like this one has done all its gonna do. It got off to a promising start and scraped the top 40, but it's been gradually falling through the 40s for the past 2 months, and it would take a pretty major turnaround at this point for it to even rematch its current peak position.

[McCreerian]

He has so much potential. One of the best live performers I've seen and great songwriter! This deserved more.

[Tylerjamesnerd]

Is this gonna make a comeback on radio? Seems like it has a healthy bullet again.

[dwindeezy]

IMO he brings something different to the format, has star potential and id like to see this breakthrough for him. He’s one who was kinda born for this and has gotten bigger and lucrative opportunities as he's worked on his career from that cmt show lead, to American idol to then getting signed to AGT.

[raylatch98]

Well this did manage to hang on the chart a little over a month after .indulgecountry declared this song over, but now it should be done and done as this went recurrent on Billboard and this is so far back before this week (#52) from its peak position (#40) that it is best to just let this song go once and for all. 

[countryfan43]

Really sad to see this go and it’s also making me unsure if Milligan can break out ever given this seemed radio friendly plus all the publicity and still never truly took off.
