Update: Based on early airplay attained during the September 18-24 tracking week, Blake Shelton’s “A Guy With A Girl” ranks as the Mediabase country panel’s #86 song.
The “She’s Got A Way With Words” follow-up received 59 weekly spins, but the #86 position is based on chart points (spins receive point values based on the size of the market in which they were received) rather than raw airplay.
