Not even considering State of Grace Scotty Bee paying dust to her second holiest hymn... as usual. Praying that it can still be a single though, along with Sacred and All Too Holy
If Holy Ground or Red is released to country the second week of April, it'd probably take until June to top country. By that point, 22 will be peaking/ have peaked and there could be potential for crossover.
The question is: if HG or Red went to country with no crossover, what would they release to pop after 22? EHC or SOG?
I'm thinking Red is being saved for the summer for both formats. They need the country single to peak kinda near 22. So they better hurry up. I'd love for ATW to get a shot. After Red SoG should go to pop while HG goes to country
I'm thinking red is definite. As for the rerelease it could go along the lines of fearless platinum where the went ahead and released a single from the original album. It could easily be

In my opinion i think they should go with SOG. It would bring a wider audience, just look at the YouTube comments, The GP loves it. I think'd it also smash in Europe because it's got that rocky, U2 vibe to it
SoG should definitely be a pop single. A mature respectable song from her. Not sure if country would like it. The only reason they would is because it's just a plain ole good song. It doesn't have much of a country sound to it
Is there enough time for 3 singles on each format?
Dream world:
SOG, EHC + HG on pop
Red, ATW + CBBH on country
Real world:
I suppose, 22/ATW would be in Mean/TSOU's time frame right now, with Red in SF's time frame, HG in Ours' time frame then the last single(s) would be like in S&S/EO's time frame?
Actually, can Red not be a pop single?
SOG, HG + EHC would all debunk the "all she sings about is break ups" BS and Red would just continue it.
She can keep sending breakup songs to country for all I care; country radio doesn't reach as many people as pop, and thus has smaller influence on public opinion.

I was thinking that as well but it had such a positive response from iTunes as a promo single and album track, and it's crossover sound makes it basically unavoidable. Atleast 22 isn't a love song at all
