FGL had a big airplay the Wednesday the Hot 100 was configured two weeks ago, and Aldean dealt with the same issue today. If the next big artist could wait until Thursday to release the song to radio, the Country song could break into the Top Ten.
Also, I do not think Aldean has a real video out for Burnin It Down. Paul Grein only shared a lyric video. Both of these songs are now on Spotify's Top 50, which is a good sign. Taylor Swift's next release may not be country at all, so I guess we will wait for Luke Bryan's next big leadoff single.
BTW Do not expect Garth Brooks to reach very high on Billboard's new Official Country Chart. He is the last artist holding out from making his music available from download, and his music is also not available for streaming.
For these reasons, I do not expect Garth to try and manipulate the charts the way he did when the chart was airplay only. Brooks is likely the artist in Nashville who hates Billboard's new Official Country (hybrid) Chart the most.
