Though she did not promise the winning song would indeed release as the third single from her acclaimed “Same Trailer Different Park,” a Twitter campaign from breakout country star Kacey Musgraves makes it clear she and her label are gauging fan opinion.<\/p>\n

“What would YOU like to hear as my next single? Please use a hashtag with the name of the song of your choice. Annnnnd GO,” Tweeted Musgraves early Monday morning<\/a> in a calculated effort to build social engagement, garner fan feedback and potentially create some buzz around her most popular tracks.<\/p>\n

Response has been soft so far, especially relative to her reach of more than 92,000 followers, but it strongly points the needle in a particular direction.<\/p>\n

Ten of the seventeen unique respondents identified “Follow Your Arrow” as at least one of their picks, giving the empowerment song a dominant edge over the other potential choices.<\/p>\n

Released this winter in support of the “Same Trailer Different Park” pre-order campaign, “Follow Your Arrow” became an instant hit with Musgraves’ fans. It continues to represent an anthem, of sorts, for the singer-songwriter’s growing (in quantity and passion) group of supporters.<\/p>\n

It, more notably, made waves for its progressive lyrics, which represent a departure from stereotypical country motifs.<\/p>\n

Shortly after its promotional release on iTunes, a Billboard article questioned whether the song was “too racey (sic) for country radio<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The piece quoted multiple radio programmers, who, in reference to the song’s tolerant perspective on same-sex romance and marijuana use, doubted whether it would receive airplay in country markets.<\/p>\n

“It’s a shame that such a fine piece of music won’t find its way to a number of stations,” said one programmer at the time.<\/p>\n

But insofar as the frank lyrics are a major driver of support for both the song and Musgraves as an artist, programmers might have a hard time ignoring its potential value as a radio hit, especially if the singer-songwriter’s profile continues to rise.<\/p>\n

“Blowin’ Smoke,” the second single from “Same Trailer Different Park” and the follow-up to breakthrough hit “Merry Go Round,” continues to represent Musgraves in the marketplace. It was officially released to radio the week of April 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,206],"tags":[636,312,637],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nKacey Musgraves Asks Fans for Help Choosing New Single<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Though she did not promise the winning song would indeed release as the third single from her acclaimed "Same Trailer Different Park," a Twitter campaign\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/08\/19\/kacey-musgraves-asks-fans-for-help-choosing-new-single\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kacey Musgraves Asks Fans for Help Choosing New Single\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Though she did not promise the winning song would indeed release as the third single from her acclaimed "Same Trailer Different Park," a Twitter campaign\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/08\/19\/kacey-musgraves-asks-fans-for-help-choosing-new-single\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-08-19T16:26:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/08\/19\/kacey-musgraves-asks-fans-for-help-choosing-new-single\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/08\/19\/kacey-musgraves-asks-fans-for-help-choosing-new-single\/\",\"name\":\"Kacey Musgraves Asks Fans for Help Choosing New Single\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2013-08-19T16:26:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-08-19T16:26:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Though she did not promise the winning song would indeed release as the third single from her acclaimed \\\"Same Trailer Different Park,\\\" a Twitter campaign\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/08\/19\/kacey-musgraves-asks-fans-for-help-choosing-new-single\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
