Thanks to rapidly growing airplay and sales figures and a full week of video availability, Maddie and Tae’s “Girl in a Country Song” jumps into this week’s edition of the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n
The duo’s single, which functions as a retaliation to the cliched, objectifying sentiments commonly echoed in “bro country” songs, arrives at #71 on this week’s Hot 100. It follows Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj’s “Bang Bang” as the week’s third-best debut.<\/p>\n
While nearly 30,000 weekly digital sales and a climb to #31 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart did not hurt matters, the song’s buzzworthy video also played a pivotal role in its Hot 100 climb.<\/p>\n
That video, which reverses roles by putting male performers in the skimpy outfits and sexualized activities typically reserved for the “girl in a country song,” has garnered considerable buzz and nearly 4 million YouTube\/Vevo views.<\/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":[1047,206],"tags":[2522,2521],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
