Nice to see the I'm Gonna Show You Crazy love here. Still her best one, cant believe it wasnt even a proper single, never released on US radio

I'm Gonna Show You Crazy is good, but not her very best. She had much better songs on her first EP: I Don't Wanna Grow Up, Sweet Beginnings & Pray are all modern masterpieces. They captured the PERFECT sound for her.

Tbf Million Reasons wasn't sent to country radio. I do think this is such a country success because of Florida Georgia Line really though, country radio eat up pretty much anything they do. I know it's still her song but I don't see it as much different to Pink being on that Kenny Chesney song for example which was a #1. It's not that it's not impressive for a pop artist to do well on country, but it's kinda like an underground rapper getting a UK top 10 by adding Rita Ora to a poppy song - of course it has more of a chance. And it wouldn't hurt her to have some humility :lol:

 

"More impact than you and your 3k followers" is my fave *_*

haha bebe rexha invented country music :D

I think petty stans think it was Camila shade because she released her NBTS remix this week :lol:

 

I also don't think this being such a "big thing" for her is the actual country sound, it's her getting a #1 on the Country Songs chart, both sales and airplay. And that is impressive but as I said she does have FGL on the song, and she's acted like she invented country music for it when the song isn't even *that* country.

It's definitely still a milestone country #1, it's rare enough for any female artist to be at #1 and for a pop star who doesn't even have name recognition to the average country listener (compared to Pink who's a much bigger name), it's amazing how much attention her song is getting. But yes, she can hardly take all the credit when a lot of the country stations are introducing the song as "Here's Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha" AND when it did hit #1, the country newsletter I subscribe to had a headline of "Florida Georgia Line are #1 this week" without even mentioning Bebe :drama: :')

 

I'm absolutely thrilled for her and how well this has done, but it makes me more frustrated that Miranda, Kacey and other prominent female country stars (sometimes even Carrie) struggle to get #1s because the industry so heavily favors male artists, but that's a conversation for another thread. :P
