Keith/Eric song is radio #1 w/ like 214,000 downloads- so sad. Guys always get to #1 no matter what. Miranda's LRW almost twice sales and 15.2 million views of video on VEVO not even in top 15. Just another example of the sad state of country radio.
Brian Cole
I mentioned hoping Luke Bryan's new song can debut in the Top 10, and "Girl Crush" also actually has a decent shot at hitting the Top 10 on the Hot 100 the first full week after the BBMAs. The song has reached Mediabase's Hot AC chart, and has a few adds at Top 40. I would think the BBMAs performance would finally boost this song's streaming, which has trailed when compared to how well it is selling on digital single websites. AC, Hot AC, and Top 40 should add the song after that. I just wish Country radio would move the song up a little faster, since its been in the Top Two on both Country Sales and Streaming for weeks now.

It's going to get A LOT of airplay and the single will sell a whole bunch too.

I'd be interested in knowing if you have an updated list on Carrie's singles from the Blown Away era? Good Girl, Two Black Cadillacs and See You Again haven't got updates in ages and must have moved a bit more copies since their last update.

It all depends on what is on the Top 100 country download sales chart.
