It's a false rating on the charts cause it is a black woman.
Country still has some good people. But, then there are the hip hop, pop crossover, or just those that can't write a song for schitt, but they have a big enough fan base, that it doesn't matter.
Mannlicher: I was a Country Charlie Pride fan for MANY years and was surprised to find out he appeared to be a negro man when i first saw a picture of him! Still loved/enjoyed his music - and him. I do NOT think country music is dead (or even wounded by this). Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
Don't really listen to Country radio much. A bunch of it sounds like puzzy pop music. I'm sure the Beyonce song isn't much worse than the gay azz Dan and Shay crap.
Meh, just another one in the "hick-hop" subcategory. There are lots of subcategories. I agree that the ratings system is probably just pumped by followers.

At the time Charlie Pride was hitting the big time, I was dating a girl whose father was a Charlie Pride fan until he went into a record store to buy an album and saw Charlie on the cover. Walked out without buying the record.

"Black"?????? She's what we used to call "high yellow" at most- - - - -comes from the house maids doing the horizontal hula with plantation owners for a few generations. "Country" music died about the time Hank Sr. croaked in the back seat of his Cadillac.
Dolly sold her botox filled azz out to the anti-country movement years ago. She was country when she was trying to make a name for herself, and after she did, she went Hollywood and left her roots behind.

I prefer the classic country that tells a story, has good vocals, and makes me feel something. George Strait, Martina McBride, Clint Black, are examples. Then again, I'm older now.
The 'line dance' style of country music doesn't do a thing for me.
No real country fan would listen to that crap more than once. Thatās like a song that a performer would do on a variety show, or an award show. āLook at how versatile I am!ā

A friend who despises country music said listening to it made him want to go home, tell the wife and kids to leave, turn off all of the lights in the house, close the drapes and put on George Jones while having a loaded pistol in his lap and a bottle of cheap whiskey on the table beside him.

Lol country music isn't dead. That's some boomer s hit.
Stop listening to the garbage on the radio.
Farron Young, Buck Owens & stuff is boomer I think.. The younger gen owns this Beyonce schit, no doubt about it. You must be a Karen, blaming something like this on another gen., or are you a female maybe.
I've seen metric phu(ktons of ignorance here on the 'Fire...but never more than this thread...
I live (literally!) in bumphV(k Idaho. Pretty much every year Courtney and/or Jason (they're married) come up and play at the lodge in Stanley. That makes them special!
When I was at Auburn the famous Horse Pens 40 was still a thing. Saw Alison there when she was 14. Back then she was a fiddle impresario before we even knew she could sing! (Of course Emmylou, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stewart, Flatt and Scruggs..., etc, etc made up for that at the time...)

Honestly it was way more than i paid for.
2016āish?
Jamey and Allison closed the show with a gosbiln hymm.
Everything else seems to be going to schitt in this county, so why not country music? As we circle the drain slowly getting closer to the bottom with each revolution. Round and round we go..........?
Country has always cast a wide net. Even Johnny Cash faced accusations of not being country. I remember my granddad thought country music died with Jimmie Rodgers. I'd be more inclined to say it died with George Jones. It's funny how the Southern Rock of the 70's sounds more country than the schytt they pass off as country today.
Yes Absolutely Correct. Country music died from damn yuppie's influence. Lynn, Jones, Flat and Scruggs, Jim and Jesse FOREVER. A plague on this new stuff.
I still recall the cold chill I felt, 1969 I think, listening to the smiling girls on Hee Haw cheerfully singing about murdering Federal Agents on some hill top in Tennessee.
Law enforcement Officers, murdered in cold blood, something about those people not wanting to pay taxes.
You can tell very quickly who listens to whatever is dictated to them on the fm radio and who takes the time to listen to what they want to hear. Itās not hard to find new real country music. But covered here ad nauseum over the years.

Yeah, a large number of old fuds don't realize that people are not discovering new music nowadays by listening to the radio. They've never heard of things like Spotify, Apple Music, etc. I wonder if they've noticed that you no longer see "record stores" at the shopping mall. Wait, are people even still going to shopping malls?! LOL! Oh yeah, shopping malls are also dying.
"Honey, I'll be back in a little bit. I'm going down to the Radio Shack and pick up a new needle for the phoneygraph and a couple of them replacement tubes for the AM radio. I might also stop at the record store and check out the new Top 40 list they post on their bulletin board. I heard that Bubba Joe Stumpy has a new song out called I Couldn't Break Her Heart, So I Broke Her Leg. I might also stop by the Sears or the Kmart and take a look at the lawn mowers."
I attended several Charlie Pride concerts, and enjoyed each one. The man was a class act. I have absolutely NO desire to watch a slut in concert - no matter what color her skin.
The music takes it's twists and turns, and it really doesn't matter who thinks what of this country artist, or that
Country music may die someday, but before it does;
1) Farmers and ranchers will stop dying while working alone
2) Mines, and mining will stop killing miners
3) Rail crews and truckers will always come home to happy families
4) Women will acknowledge and accept their place in life, and always remain true to their husbands
5) Hell will freeze over
I like Patty Loveless as a country artist, because she's got the bones and life experience. But a kid from anywhere, with the slightest connecting thread to country life and death could just as easily pick up and carry on. If they do music in the spirit of country, it doesn't matter what you or I think of the sound
Anyone thinking that Garth Brooks started the downfall of country wasn't paying attention to what Alabama was doing in the 80's.
A case could be made for saying that anyone who insists that country music sound like this, or meet that expectation is wrapped a bit too tight. There's a metric [bleep]-ton of country music I don't care to listen to. So I don't, and it's just that simple
There are songs from both Alabama and Garth Brooks on my country play list
And yeah... I'll put my delta, cotton/rice country bones up against anyones, LOL...
