Great choice. One of my favs from the album for sure. I cannot really see this becoming an impactful hit, maybe 40+ weeks chart run with top 10 peak, but still root for it regardless.

He's become so generic and boring. I used to really like him, now he is easily one of my least favs.

One of my favorites from the album! Glad to see it's being released as a single!

This is catchy radio fodder and I like it more than most people on this forum probably will, but what a missed opportunity to deliver with something groundbreaking like "Pasadena" or "Not Every Cowboy" that could've elevated his career. "Confetti" has a strong melody and is an easy sell for radio, but it definitely sounds like something that will leave minimal lasting impact, and with the way "Party Mode" underperformed and zapped a lot of the great momentum he had following the monster that was "Thinking 'Bout You," I can see this one having a slow chart climb. Might ultimately get higher on the charts than PM did, but this is just a rather meh choice all things considered.

I can sing the words of "Thinking About You" over the melody of this one. I like it, and it's probably the best song to get radio play. But I completely agree that releasing Pasadena or Not Every Cowboy would have been amazing. "Something that makes you smile" is also a fantastic song that I would have loved to see released.

Debuts at #56 on Billboard today right before it goes for adds this Monday so it is pretty clear country radio is excited for this song.

Itâs not going to win any awards, but its catchy radio fodder and could easily become a summer singalong. I have no problem admitting this is a guilty pleasure, even if its not radically different from his recent singles.

Still feel a bit meh on this as a single choice given what they could've gone with to elevate his career, BUT this song is constantly stuck in my head so I've come around a bit. The melody is definitely a total earworm -- that's always been one of Dustin Lynch's biggest strengths as an artist -- and it seems to be off to a really good start considering the way "Party Mode" limped to a peak in the upper teens, so I expect this will be very successful at radio. |

This one seems to be in better shape than âParty Modeâ. That surprises me because I donât think theyâre that radically different sounding, but for whatever reason radio seems more keen on this one. Probably another 40+ week mid impacting single but think this one should have better legs than âParty Modeâ at least.

Iâm hoping radio speeds it up a bit so it can be done in late summer to kind of line up with its theme that would be cool. |

I think "Party Mode" competing with the recurrent airplay with "Thinking Bout You" didn't help that songs chart run similar to "I'd Be Jealous Too" having to compete with "Small Town Boy" as well quite a few years ago. |

Well this one might end up getting pulled. As talked about in the album thread he has a new album coming out at the end of this month. He just released a teaser on instagram that says this Friday weâre getting something. Sounds like title track âKilled The Cowboyâ in the teaser. www.instagram.com/reel/Cw0GYr_rw-v/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== |

No way they abandon it at this point. Excited to hear the new song and record thoughâŠa lot of the titles are intriguing |

Does anyone know if this song has just started to catch fire, or if itâs a label push week to try and get a Top 10 on AirCheck before pulling it?

Looking at the leaders for this on All Access and nothing to me looks like they were maxing it but I do see that most Iheart stations increased airplay drastically leading to the huge surge. Besides that most stations plays stayed close to even indicating it wasnât maxing out as well. I would be shocked if it was maxing out this week. |

He dropped another new song today called âChevroletâ with Jelly Roll, and it sounds like a SMASH. Itâs uses the same chorus as âDrift Awayâ and is insanely catchy. With Jelly Roll on it too, seems like a no-brainer choice for next single.

I think it'll be massive if released to radio and be one of his biggest career songs, right up there with "Thinkin Bout You" imo. |

Any chance this will go number one? Maybe on Mediabase but I'm like 99% sure it will miss on Billboard. It's going to take a massive push to overtake Morgan Wallen. This morning he's about 1900 spins behind. Russell will free fall this week. Morgan won't drop much if any. So Dustin will have to do the work if he's going to be #1 by next Sunday. |

Not moving the needle much. It's at 84 on the Hot 100. Doesn't deserve no.1 at radio

Looks like it wonât get a billboard number one for sure now as expected. I really hope they chose âChevroletâ for the next single.
