I'll be so disappointed if this doesn't end up a big hit. He should have pushed Walmart as the 2nd single to radio instead of Water Under the Bridge (his only single to not chart on the Hot 100). Like someone mentioned, this would be moving much faster without that song killing momentum.
Anywhom. I enjoyed Southside almost as much as his debut. Surely this album can't be dropping 6 years after Southside like the wait following Montevallo

I wish he would release an album! I can't believe he has put out 7 "singles" since September 2021. Hmm? I's 5 I thought. 23, Water Under the Bridge, Start Nowhere, Walmart, Outskirts. He had "Women In My Life" that came out in MAy 2023 and "Came The Closest" that came out in October 2023 as well

Enters the Billboard and MB Top 30 this week (#30 for the former, and #28 for the latter) and despite decent at best gains this week (66 spins gained this week on Mediabase and only 33k gained on Billboard) I do think this will soon take off on radio due to some good call-out for it on Monday Morning Intel (#15 on that chart last Sunday).
I still don't hear what's so special about this song and what makes it so beloved here, but I do think this will be a solid hit for him, but I don't think it will reach the heights of his signature hits ("Take Your Time", "Body Like A Backroad", "Hard To Forget")

I really don’t know why radio hasn’t sent this up faster. It’s connected good and has good callouts. Has to be due to the underperformance or water under the bridge, but still, this feels so in the pocket.

I haven't like any of his songs released after Southside, with the exception of Water Under The Bridge, which was epic! He will need to leave out some of them on a future album, if he is planning on including them.

He will need to leave out some of them on a future album, if he is planning on including them. If he leaves out anything he’s released post Southside, it would probably most likely be “Water Under The Bridge,” given it was the least impactful, radio and streams wise. I’m fully expecting all three songs since then to be in the future album though (if it ever comes lol.)

always feel sam hunt could have been much bigger I think he actively did his best not to become much bigger. Some people just don't aspire to the high level of fame that his trajectory was headed for after "Body Like a Backroad" and he deliberately hit the brakes to prevent having to live up to those high expectations. His popularity has waned a lot as a result, but that's also more or less what he wanted. "Outskirts" has been moving the needle pretty well though compared to some of his other recent singles, namely WUTB which was a whiff of a single choice, so I still feel like this will eventually go the distance albeit after a slow climb on the airplay front.

His singles really can't even make the Hot 100 anymore. Sad His only single to miss the Hot 100 is "Water Under The Bridge" and this single is starting to really take off with radio and should enter the Hot 100 sooner than later.

It’s honestly a lot harder for country songs to enter the hot 100 now. Unless you are streaming above average and get decent airplay.

It's fairly consistent in terms of difficulty to chart on Hot 100 for country songs imo. Usually songs performing better than average can make in bubbling under hot 100 if they are top 30 on country airplay, and typical songs should make bubbling under if they are top 20. By top 10 you should make in Hot 100 at least because the ceiling for entry is not that high most of the times and radio still has major weights.

He hasn't made it there since 2021 and has released 7 singles since then. I get that half of them don't get sent to radio but most country songs that make top 10 also debut on the Hot 100 His radio singles since 2021 are Water Under The Bridge and this song only. The former peaked at #15 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart, while this song is still on the rise. Not sure what you are arguing here about "songs in country airplay top 10 will make Hot 100 chart".

I get that half of them don't get sent to radio but most country songs that make top 10 also debut on the Hot 100 Those definitely aren't a fair gauge because unless they got incredible streaming or sales, no, they wouldn't debut on the Hot 100 with zero airplay. Very few country artists can accomplish something like that.

Happy to see this one finally hit its stride. If there were ever a time to go ahead and make an album announcement, it's now, because this looks to be going to the top.

I don't think #16 with 15 songs getting positive spin counts means surefire #1 I think a song that has gained 163 spins in one day and over 900k in audience is as close to a surefire #1 as you can get. I don't know if you are reading the chart correctly.

This continues to have huge gains, up to #8 on Billboard and #6 on Mediabase. I imagine it will be #1 in 2-4 weeks.

Love seeing this one really blowing up now. Better late than never! Probably his best single to date for me.

Deserved. Happy this grew to be the hit it was destined to be. Now only if "Out of That Truck" would follow suit.

A very well deserved #1! 👏
When I included this on my ‘25 Songs for 2023’ playlist late last year I didn’t expect this to be a big radio hit, but here we are!
Looking forward to seeing what Sam sends to radio next.

Damn, only 14 on Hot Country songs. All his other hits made top 5 (Even 23 made Top 10). That being said, this is still one of my favorite songs by him

I love "Outskirts" and I'm quite glad that it made it to No.1 for Sam.

Became his second multi-week #1 on country radio since Body Like A Back Road (3 weeks).
Timing is everything, all I can say.
