Radio Singles Missed The Chart

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

I was interested in seeing what radio singles missed the Billboard top 60 chart, so I went back and collected date from Mediabase Add thread. I think I can do some for 2018, but for now, I did only until the summer of 2020 when fearlessarrow revived the thread. The total add # could be wrong, as I manually added em up. If some of you have the total add# data or missing add reports from 2020 and back, I would appreciate it. Please move this thread to Sub Board if appropriate.

So far, the closes miss was Kameron Marlowe's debut single "Sober As A Drunk" which got 30 initial adds and when it comes to the total add #, it is Laci Kaye Booth's "Shuffle," with 61 adds. Still, Caitlyn Smith's Downtown Baby received 46 initial adds and peaked at #59 feels the worst flop to me, and my saddest flop would be Just Drive by Erin Kinsey.

Removing Neon Union, as they unfortunately entered the chart this week, after receiving around 48 total adds. 

[.indulgecountry]

🌺CountryLineDancer you have "Lil Bit" in your list, but that one charted.

Good catch... Seems like my brain decided to erase the chart history of the flop song.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Added Jordan Harvey, Josiah Siska, and Tim Dugger, as it's been a while since they got adds, and almost 4 months since the impact date. Surprised that Jordan failed to chart, as it had a decent start with 27 adds. This is also the second most number of adds that a song got in this list, passing 26 adds from Track45. Not surprised regarding Josiah Siska and Tim Dugger, as even though their start was not awful, they are usually focused more on the secondary market.

Tim may chart as Cumulus added him with a few evening plays which could bump it up enough to scrape the chart for a week.

Yep, he debuted at #55 this week.

Added Ben Gallaher, MaRynn Taylor, Kip Moore, and Ryan Griffin.

Ben Gallaher only received the total of 19 adds, not surprisingly. This is his third time showing up on this thread, and still surprised that the label tried another single after the flops of the first two.

MaRynn Taylor surprisingly missed the chart with the total of 65 adds, which is the highest since I started this thread. It was a catchy bop, and I thought she had a chance to sneak into the chart, so shame that she missed it. I think she came close to the top 60 though, as I recall sabre14's Instagram story mentioning this song getting close to entering Medicabase top 60 or something a few months back.

Kip Moore and Ryan Griffin had an okay start, but the following adds were not great. Kip just has lost all the momentum with the dreadful Good Life, while Red Street Record cannot provide strong support to Ryan, being a small label.

I think MaRynn is still getting promoted but very unlikely it does chart. Her opry debut video was amazing I really am rooting her on but unfortunately radio isn’t catching on that much.

Climbed 3 spots to #58 on Mediabase this week.

I'd love to see MaRynn chart with this, it's so catchy!

I think it's almost safe to add Catie Offerman's "I Just Killed A Man" to the list :(

It’s had zero leaders for a week now so I’d say it’s done.

I enjoy her output so far and that song grew on me some, but I knew right away when I first heard it that it was gonna flop. That was an awful choice for a debut single to break a new artist, especially a female. I didn't hear any hit potential in it, sadly.

I added her song in the list. I was quite surprised that it had a decent start with 26 adds, but the total add stalled to end at 42. 

I Just Killed A Man is a decent song for sure, but I must agree that it was a poor single choice. They should have just gone with Happyland Trailer Park.

Climbed 3 spots to #58 on Mediabase this week.

Removed her from the list now, as she managed to chart last week. Regarding this, is it rare for a song to make it to the Mediabase top 60 but miss the Billboard top 60? Did any of the song on the above list made it to the Mediabase top 60 but missed the Billboard?

I did not add anything new yet, but I am tempted to add Trouble by Josh Ross, as its promotion ended in Canada after hitting #1. Still crazy to think that a song with 38 initial adds is almost failing to chart.

It peaked at #58 on Billboard and #46 on Mediabase. Charted on both. The Mediabase peak being 12 spots higher was because 1) it was a final push week and had two extra days in the MB tracking week and 2) it's spins inflated its points, but audience didn't gain as much as the spins, which meant it only peaked at #58.

It's not rare at all for a song to get higher on Mediabase on any point of the chart. It's been like that for years, dating back to the 2000's and even the '90s, back when Radio & Records reflected its own data, before Mediabase data was on the R&R sited by the summer of 1999.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Added Josh Ross, Kidd G, and Dylan Schneider, although I noted that Josh and Dylan were still getting adds last week, so there is a slim chance that they could still sneak into the chart.

Josh Ross had a very strong start with 38 adds followed by okay subsequent adds, and it is still puzzling to me that it has not charted yet. It was at least very successful in Canada.

Kidd G had received higher # of adds, compared with his debut, but still far from charting.

Dylan Schneider had a decent start with 25 adds, but subsequent adds were fairly weak and failed to gain momentum. 

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Added three songs from August. Mickey Guyton was the surprising one that failed to chart even with Kane's name attached. Other two, Tiera and Teddy, flopped, not surprisingly. Maddie & Tae and Neon Union are coming up next, but since some predictions are still considering their possibility of entering the chart, I am going to add them later.

Until I see they are no longer being promoted, you shouldn't include them (both have over 200 spins in Leaders on AllAccess just fyi

[sabre14]

"This Side of the Dirt" by Neon Union is at #61 on Mediabase this week. "Heart They Didn't Break" by Maddie & Tae is at #66 on Mediabase. Both with bullets.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Made some update to 2022:
- Just realized that Granger Smith's Forever Forward got the total of 20 adds, including 13 adds on 11/28. Even though no thread was created for this song, add # is too many to be ignored as a single, so added to the list. 
- Per sabre14 's information, Nate Barnes' Right About Me impacted the radio on 3/21, but seems like it received no add. What happened? Same for Heavenly by Karley Scott Collins, as it received no adds. 

Also, in the process of updating the radio single summary thread, updated this thread for 2020. Since the add thread started in the summer of 2020, I consulted country Aircheck for the remainder of periods (hence no total add# is available). I know that the following 4 songs got some adds by mainstream stations, but the add # on impact date was not high enough to be included in the top 10 most added on Aircheck, so if anybody happens to know the number, please advise me.
-- Waterloo Revival - Something You Ain't Ever Had (6/8 - stacked due to blackout week)
-- Kylie Frey - Spur Of The Moment (6/22)
-- Jackson Michelson - One Day (6/29)
-- Tim Dugger - You're Gonna Love Me (8/3)

It might be safe to say “Don’t let the old man in” isn’t going to chart as it hasn’t gained much traction in weeks now.

It peaked at 41 in 2018 when it was originally released.

I wonder if that counts for this as it re-went for adds this time and didn’t chart this time.

Added Maddie & Tae and Neon Union to the list. Honestly surprised that these two failed to chart, given that they came pretty close to the top 60 per above. Both songs got around 25+ adds upon impact but only grew to 40-45 total adds. 

Anne Wilson, Annie Bosko, and Caroline Jones are coming next to join this list if they fail to chart, but all of them are still getting adds lately (all have the total adds of 40s), so they still have shots, I hope. Not that I love any of their songs, but it would still be nice to see those female faces on the chart.
