Zach Top - "Sounds Like The Radio"

[sabre14]

Artist: Zach Top
Single: "Sounds Like the Radio"
Writers: Zach Top, Wyatt McCubbin, Carson Chamberlain
Label: Leo33
Impact Date: January 8th, 2024

The debut single from Zach Top impacts country radio today. The DSP and impact date were the same day. It's  the first radio single for Leo33 Records. Zach is a traditional country artist; his stuff is straight '90s country.

It'll also be the most-added song today.

Yep, most added song this week with 55 adds this week it looks like. Kind of shocked since I didn't think the label could pull in that many adds.

Certainly not complaining as I do like this song and his voice a fair amount, I also love when an artist has a song that is a throwback to 90s to early 2000s country sound wise. 

[George Strait Junkie]

Wow easily my favorite song put out this year 😂 yeah I know it just got started but what an amazing start so far. was already a fan of him before this song. but, damn gonna be on repeat. need way more of this on radio. and, maybe I’ll return to listening to said radio once again. as it’s been years since I tuned in.

[LBTrocks]

Such a jam! Zach Top is great, I've been LOVING his song "The Kinda Woman I Like"

This is incredible, hot damn!! He doesn't have my favorite voice of the neo-traditional-leaning men, but that country ass production is just TASTY. I'm still waiting for Randall King to get the green light at mainstream country radio with literally anything, but more stuff like this + Cody Johnson on the airwaves is still nice, too. I hope this is a huge smash and it takes whatever spot Luke Bryan's musty ass is still taking up.

Ooh he’s a local guy (Washington state). Gotta root for him now. We haven’t had many country stars from Washington.

Zach could be the next big star in country music. I heard another song called "There's The Sun" which is absolutely phenomenal, it has #1 written all over it imo. That needs to be released as a single at some point.

Debut album will be released in April:

Already top 60 on Mediabase country real-time. It should debut on Billboard Country Airplay this Friday.

I love me some Zach Top and I want this to be a hit, but I also don't want himto be a flash in the pan. I'd settle for this one going top 20 and the next 20 going top 10. Also, surprised Busy Doing Nothin' didnot make the album.

[sportytheartist]

This is gonna be a hit soon! The instrumental of this song is amazing and upbeat! I see a nice future for this guy.

[recordyear]

Feel underwhelmed by this tbh after seeing praises here and social media in general. Doesn't really stand out in terms of 90s country throwback melodically and lyrically (like Raised on Country is lyrically similar). At least he sings in more energetic way than similar stuff.

[kluen]

I like this style!!!!
After seeing praise of him I had the interest
And it did not disappoint me although his vocal is not my cup of tea
And the instruments are too much,the song should be shorter I think
But overall a good song
hope this is the new trend in the male world and give bro country one more strike

[recordyear]

Debut at #56 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart this week.

Music video:

Watching the music video is like stepping back into a time machine. Everything about the song + his look + the visuals are just so deliciously throwback. I'm really excited to see it looking like country radio is interested with this one/him from the jump because ordinarily I'd be pessimistic about them playing something like this.

Finally in the top 50:

^ I find it funny you phrased that this is finally in the Top 50 as if it took forever to make it here, when it took (checks calendar) 9 days from when it impacted radio. 

[phil1996]

I usually roll my eyes at the “this sounds like 90’s country” stuff….but this is an exception. I feel like I’m in the 90’s when I hear this guy. “There’s The Sun” is an incredible. “Bad Luck” is irresistible. This one is great too. Here’s hoping Mr Top has a fantastic 2024

[carus]

Nice song! But while I like the sound of it, it really isn't anything that good. By the praise you were giving him, I thought it would be top notch. I mean, it's good, just not that good.

[aldo01]

this is outstanding!! Love that loud fiddle and the whole instrumentation. He sounds great too. Rooting hard for Zach Top!

Is Zach’s team changing focuses to a new single? I got an email saying his song “Use Me” is going for immediate airplay.

If they are that is one of the worst decisions in a while.
