Is her label pushing this on Country stations? Because of the genre's biases, I'm not sure why we even expect a Country station to know B has a new song out. :bibliahh: Billie Bob isn't refreshing the feed looking for ACT II y'all

I know some people might not see it this way but I think that this stuff will actually get people talking more.  Bring on a little adversity it will only lead to more streams. 

This is already getting attention and will be a news story tonight and tomorrow. Bring on the clicks from dissertions about how country this record is and if it's worthy of being played on country radio. :lmao:

Riddle me this. How did Old Town Road only peak at #50 on country radio despite it featuring a veteran well-respected country artist, held the top spot on the Hot 100 for 19 consecutive weeks, and was an international mega-hit? Yet, Adele peaked at #25…


Country radio was more accepting of the white female pop artist rather than the Black male. Pure racism.

This is NOT a well respected country radio artist and even less in TWENTY NINETEEN :deadbanana2:

The comparison is far different. Demi released rock remixes of existing pop songs which ended up sounding more costumey than anything inherently "rock". It's a lot different than working with actual country musicians and putting out original material of the genre. Similarly, comparing Madonna's "couple of rock songs on an album" isn't the same thing either.

Allison Russell is a queer liberal who has called for ceasefire in Gaza and won her Grammy for a song called “Eve Was Black.” :rip:
 

Rhiannon Giddens (who plays banjo and viola on Texas Hold Em!) was nominated for an album that has multiple songs addressing sexism and one about police brutality. :rip:

Drag me I was spreading fake news hoping it was actually true.

I'm sure her team expected this to happen. And I hope her fans already know the same thing will happen at the Grammys

They cant even fake it. Whats the point of being a radio station if you dont honor listeners requests. :rip:

I think the opposite will happen. The controversy might force the to win.

Was Daddy Lessons a parody too when the country awards audience were fuming? Let’s just be honest for once.

“Parody” is the new buzzword people are using because they don’t like the song. 
 

texas hold em is a upbeat, country, love song
