A little interesting fact about the Billboard chart. If they would’ve went by airplay all along Tanya Tucker’s “My Arms Stay Open All Night” would’ve been a #1 hit on the January 13, 1990 chart and Clint Black’s “Nobody’s Home” been the #1 song in the January 7, 1990 chart instead of Highway 101’s “Who’s Lonely Now”.

The chart has been extremely boring for the last few weeks. They really need to enhance the recurring rule; songs like Messed Up As Me, Find Another Bar, Single Again, Tie Up, Tried A Ring On, One Bad Habit, and Country Back are not going to anything more than what they have achieved so far and they all need to leave to clear the space, despite me liking some of those songs. There are so many singles, including Tyler Hubbard, Brian Kelley, , Russell Dickerson, Mitchell Tenpenny, Sam Hunt, Randall King, Darius Rucker, Elle King, and Dalton Dover that all would have charted by now, based on the add #, and it's frustrating to see older singles that are not achieving anything is taking away the chart space from newer singles.
I think it’s also about them actually following their own rules, too. This week there are four songs that could go recurrent based on the criteria, but Billboard opted not to remove them from the charts.

Pretty insane that the song at #60 has over 900k audience and is the ONLY song on the current chart with less than 1 million. I don't think that's ever happened before, because typically a song at #60 on the chart is usually somewhere more in the neighborhood of 300-600k in audience total. The chart is just so stagnant right now and like 🌺CountryLineDancer, it's very frustrating to watch. There's so many songs that need to gtfo so that new stuff can begin to break through the slog.

Yeah, right now we really need country radio to get rid of these songs. What's also not helping is the fact that country radio has singles from Shaboozey, Post Malone/Morgan Wallen, and Morgan Wallen/Ernest in an absolute chokehold. Seriously they make up 3 of the top 5 slots this week and yet all are now long gone on Mediabase.
In general, those 3, along with singles from Chase Matthew (thankfully that should be soon), Tim McGraw, Lainey Wilson (sorry but "Hang Tight Honey" is doing nothing for quite a few weeks), Chris Janson, Chris Lane, Zac Brown Band, Randy Houser, and Josh Ross can all gtfo (I like "I Tried A Ring On" too much and it did just pick up 6 radio adds so it is still going strong overall).

It's hard to say, but I think I would prefer these three songs dominating the charts rather than other songs with prearranged airplay shoot up to #1 and then drop to #17 the next week. To me, it's telling that the two most listened to songs at country radio aren't even eligible for the Mediabase chart.

Yeah, and besides, those songs haven't even been on the chart that long. Shaboozey and Post/Wallen have been holding down the top 2 for months on BB, and neither one of them is even over 20 weeks old, and "Cowgirls" ain't far behind at 21 weeks on. They fully deserve to be slaying at the top, while stuff like "Young Love & Saturday Nights" and "Love You Again" and "Find Another Bar" and "Tie Up" etc. are the kind of songs that need to gtfo and free up chart space.
Update is out, but there's something wrong with the charts right now. Looks like it's showing dating from about 13 years ago...
Jerrod Neimann! Back on the charts! Lol
And every song but Billy Currington and Reba is charting at #2, Darius Rucker has a single called “This Capitol” and lastly the top 2 songs on the chart must be pretty vulgar titles. Lol

The massive resurgence of “Colder Weather” can’t be a good thing this time of year lol. Even though it’s an error kinda cool to see some of these old songs again and remember them.
Edit: can’t forget their other famous hit “As She’s Away” and Blake Shelton’s “Who Are You I’m Not Looking”. Pure greatness of an error.
