I’m really surprised this is going for max spins this week. While it really never had a chance to get a Billboard #1, unless it has an absolutely massive push, it’s not gonna reach #1 on AirCheck either, which actually might’ve been attainable in a week or two. I know most of this board favors Billboard, but for the most part it appears the labels don’t care either way as long as they get #1 on either chart, and this is a long shot on both.

I know most of this board favors Billboard, but for the most part it appears the labels don’t care either way as long as they get #1 on either chart, and this is a long shot on both. The problem is that Luke Combs, much like Morgan Wallen before him, is likely going to spend 5+ weeks at the top of the chart, and it's impossible for all of these songs at high levels of airplay in the top 10 behind him to just wait him out. In other words, "Memory Lane" likely had to be pushed now or never. Most of these push weeks are planned out way in advance and there's just not an option for radio to just keep upping the airplay for all of these tracks simultaneously, and within the next few weeks, we'll probably see Justin Moore, Jelly Roll, and Jon Pardi all take turns doing the same. It's a fairly young song so perhaps there's a chance Old Dominion could've gotten away with holding out just a bit longer, but my guess is that they're going ahead with the push because the label 1) had it timed out to push this week already and 2) didn't think there was any value in holding off on doing so.

This song was good. It’s a shame it won’t get the Billboard #1 but that’s how Billboard rolls anymore.

I am really happy that this appears that it will be the Mediabase/AirCheck #1. I love this song, and Old Dominion has been my favorite group since Rascal Flatts broke up. I was not expecting this to get #1 on either chart at the beginning of the week, but they managed to pull it off. Though I imagine being on a Sony label with Luke Combs seriously helped their chances
