Dierks Bentley - "Something Real"

[er1c612]

This went recurrent on Billboard today, and I’m very sad about it. I quite like this song, even if I would’ve preferred Heartbreak Drinking Tour.

Anyone know if this was actually pulled? I know Luke’s song went recurrent on the airplay chart a few weeks ago, but they kept pushing it. However, I noticed this fell out of the top 50 on Mediabase this past week and hasn’t made it back in yet.

Wow. Wasn’t expecting much but top 20 seemed extremely doable considering it’s radio friendly. Think we are starting to see some former big names get phased out a bit. The days of Dierks, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton reaching #1 with every single are long gone.

I would assume this got pulled looking at spin leaders right now but I’m really surprised they didn’t keep this longer. It did make the top 40 in Canada though.

His flop era i guess. Probably won't rebound since he debuted in 2003. He's here in VA like 2 hours from me in MD. Wish I was off work and could go

I feel like I am gonna repeat what I have said to you earlier, but I do think it is way too premature to write off this song and Dierks rebounding at country radio as this song entering the chart after a month of going for adds is okay considering how poor the album sold, how crowded the chart is, and this will probably make Top 20 at least when it's all said and done even if it takes a long while to get there. Given all of the circumstances, this song is doing fine. One of the biggest things when watching the chart as a country music fan is patience. Dierks Bentley isn't in the position to have 20-30 week chart runs anymore (not that he had a ton of those either).

I'll say...this bombed. It is now the lowest charting single of his career with a peak of 49. (What The Hell Did I Say hit 46)
