Her sales were okay. Some of her songs topped the country digital charts. It's just bad timing. We've had our share of unfortunate timings with Mean and White Horse too. Another good example is If I Die Young. It was one of country music's biggest hits but it only got a week at the top of Hot country songs. How's that for HOT??
Meanwhile songs from Jason Aldean, Josh Turner and Blake Shelton are getting multiple weeks at the top. Another example: Lovestory: 2 weeks only.
yeah Taylor should have been #1 this week if we go off of success but it shouldn't have been WANEGBT it should have been Red because crossover airplay should be taken out of the equation.
I know. I don't agree with the airplay thing also. But what's past is past. Nothing they could do about it. They could just refer to the airplay chart. 
I wanted his song to go #1. I think it wasn't gonna make it anyway since Carrie passed him but now his chances are at 0
