I doubt the country community will take this new chart seriously, industry folks and fans of country. I mean, how are they going to explain so many huge country artists with sold out tours and many previous #1s suddenly have so much trouble getting #1 hits?
What's the point of having a country chart if you basically HAVE to crossover in order to get a #1 hit? That shows just how wrong it is: releasing country singles that don't have pop elements in it will never give you a #1 song, unless you MAKE it a pop song.

so dont be mad at taylor or her stans...

I can only speak for myself, but you seem really nice about this, and no one should blame her or her fans. She's smart for crossing over, nothing wrong with that. It's the questionable change Billboard made out of nowhere, I think most are mad at them. And just so you know, I for one think lBegin Again deserves to get to #1.
