Why is mainstream Country stans so stupid not to accept differences? Why a song has to fit certain criteria to smash? Definition of pure vanilla. This is why a mainstream Country act can't make a Country record without worrying about airplay and sales.

They need to be open minded but guess that will never happen because they rule out anything that doesn't sound
like PURE country.
Look at a classic Country Digital Songs chart:

8. Haunted
9. Last Kiss
Just sing about beer and trucks and it seems to get you multi weeks at the top
+1. Even Miranda only experienced radio success when THTBM gained prominence. After that they started to notice her and all of her singles all made the top 10. Her early works were just as good as her top charting singles. Just shows how flawed and unfair country radios can be.

That's the problem I have with most country radio. There so many bland generic songs about the same things :rollseyes: but there are a few diamonds in the rough

Yup. It has been interesting to watch Miranda on the charts especially recently. During her last era, she was considered the "it" girl in regards to the country community but she still in struggling to get real success on the charts. Her latest single is over 4 months old and is really struggling to even reach the top 5. It just shows ya that radio success is not as easy especially on the country charts for women

My biggest issue, is to watch all these subpar songs by male artist streak up the charts yet we got quality songs that are being put out by women and they barely chart. Country community can not complain about how the country genre is going musically when it comes to Carrie and Taylor until they start supporting other women. These 2 women are really the only ones right now seeing commercial success and sadly, I think it will be that way for a while
The ironic thing is that the women blow the men outta the water in terms of quality. Taylor, Carrie and Miranda are all so much better in terms of voice, songwriting, songs, personality etc. then most of the men in the business. If I hear one more song about a hot girl I'm gonna loose it.

We all know that if Carrie, Taylor or Miranda put out a song like Red Solo Cup, they would be torn apart yet it is praised because it is done by a male country artist

Yet songs about taking a little ride was able to get 3 weeks at the top.
