This verifies the rumors that radio and Capitol Nashville have pulled support behind the single-a strange maneuver for a song that was charting well and was meant to be the spearhead behind Carrie’s album release. On the Billboard Country Airplay chart compiled by Nielsen, it dropped out of the Top 60 completely, and was relegated to the recurrent list. On the Mediabase chart this week, “Cry Pretty” lost 12,569 points, and slipped from #6 to #24. This will be the first single of Carrie Underwood’s career to not reach at least #2 on either the Billboard Hot Country Songs or Country Airplay charts tracing back 23 total singles, all the way to her 2005 debut, “Jesus, Take The Wheel.” 15 of those singles made it to #1. “Cry Pretty” will come to rest at #9 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, #6 on the Mediabase radio chart, and #5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart which takes into consideration both radio play and consumption.
A couple of days after Carrie Underwood called out country radio for not supporting strong women, it’s become official that Carrie Underwood’s latest single “Cry Pretty” is done at radio, will be the worst-performing single of her career, and has tanked two weeks ahead of her new album of the same name being released, instead of cresting on the charts as per normal.
