Bit surprised by this choice. It's obviously a song that will connect in a big way, but this one feels like old news at this point. Thought they would've gone with one of the brand-new tracks from the album or even possibly move on to something brand new since he's been teasing that on social media. I think sticking with the current record for another single at least makes sense before he drops anything fresh, but "Where It Ends" wasn't still really on my radar as an option. It's probably my least favorite of his four singles thus far, but I do still like it. Was rooting for something else though like "You Don't Want That Smoke" or "Chase Her," or my personal top pick on the album would be "Get to Gettin' Gone." That one is just money for me.

All that aside, this will obviously be another huge smash for Bailey.

Glad he went with an upbeat song but sad we may not get “You Don’t Want That Smoke” as a single.

Excellent choice

[jasper0102]

Honestly, one of his 3 best songs to date alongside Fix'n To Break and the God's Gonna Cut You Down cover. I'm surprised they went with it given how it was released a year ago but i'm happy they did!

[someguy]

I was hoping for this, "Fix'n To Break" or "You Don't Want That Smoke", so I'm happy with this choice. I'm sure this will be another big hit for Bailey.

Interesting choice, as I thought he was gonna go with one of the newer tracks included in the album. Still, I do like this song and this for sure would be a smashing hit. I do hope that he can still release You Don't Want That Smoke as the final single after this to close out his first era before moving onto the second album though.

Not a huge fan of this one. Baileys brand of “sad boy” country is overdone imo. Every song is the same subject matter and while I really liked “rock and a hard place” everything else he’s put out has felt like diet Morgan. I’m sure this will have a relatively quick chart run and spend a few weeks at the top like the rest of his singles have, I’m just not sure I understand the hype around him

[recordyear]

Second most added with 29 adds and 31 total historic adds this week.

For a Bailey Zimmerman add day that is awful. I don’t care for his music much anymore so hopefully this kind of stalls him but the chart is looking really clogged so I’m sure this will take off eventually when stations have room for it.

[zdm1998]

Bailey is one of the hottest new acts. I’d be very surprised if this didn’t go #1.

[dm2081]

Adds seem really low but went back to see the “Religously” thread and that one started even lower. This will be fine.

I personally was hoping for “Fix’n to Break” or “You Don’t Want That Smoke”, but this is a good single choice as well.

Not an awful add day. It was announced and shipped as the single just last week and they made the decision on the single choice very recently.

Just like “Religiously,” which also started out with pedestrian first week adds, this will get steady adds every week. Expecting this to have a fairly quick climb.

Ooooh, this is good. A lot of his songs (to me) are a little sound-samey but I really like this one.

Similar feelings here. This is the first song that’s piqued my interest from him. It sounds different from his other singles and I kind of hated his other singles. Steadily his best so far for me.

Debut at #54 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart this week.

[LBTrocks]

Adore this song but it does feel like old news lol maybe cuz I’ve been jamming to all his music since “Fall In Love” came out 🤣

[someguy]

Cracks the Billboard top 50, moving 54-49*

[Music Fan]

By how much I played this when it first came out, I would've thought it was a single. But glad it's actually become official and think it's a surefire #1.

[raylatch98]

Shockingly enough this is just now hitting the Top 40 on Billboard in its 12th week. Figured in this songs 12th week it would already be Top 30 but for a 4th single from an album, its doing alright all things considered. That being said, I do think things are looking up for this song as this is one of only 4 songs in the Mediabase Top 50 today with a positive bullet despite the Christmas music making a lot of bullets negative.

I was having the same thought last week (surprised how slow this was moving) but then I figured it is likely just because of the holidays and it'll start flying up the chart in 2 weeks.

I had the same thoughts too given how he did with his last a few singles.

Then I thought if for a female who just had a few couple of hits,hitting top 40 in its 12th week is quite fast but for a male we would think it is slow.

Sorry can't help but want to go back to this same old comparison again even we are all fully aware that how male dominant country music is.

New song called Holy Smokes is released today.

[clsvltn]

Is Holy SMokes the next single ?

[LBTrocks]

“Holy Smokes” is just OK. He can do much better IMO

[someguy]

Big 13-9* jump this week to become his fourth top 10 single.

[schnetzka]

I listened to the album in full the other day and I absolutely loved it. "Where It Ends" is definitely a worthy single in my opinion.

[big2000]

Re-enters the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at #8 after previously being sent recurrent. It peaked at #7 during its original run.
