No, it wasn’t. Kevin wrote this review as a joke.

Wait…. So this wasn’t released to country radio?

The tiny bit of banjo doesn’t overcome the fact it sounds like it belongs on Tetris. I think Kevin’s comment says it all quite appropriately.

That this review was taken seriously says all that needs to be said about the current state of country radio and the country music charts.

Given the changes to Billboard’s formula, I fully expect this to be #1 within a couple weeks. Though hopefully it doesn’t get any traction on Mediabase.

Funny, my first thought when I read that it was being released to the country market was not that it would have a hard time charting because it was too pop, but, rather, because Madonna was too old. Even sadder, I think it stands a better chance of getting country airplay than pop.

Beyond all that, I think it’s a great song and hope it does find an audience. This and “Girl Gone Wild” were my favorite songs on the new album. Saw the tour this week. Amazing.

What John said. Yes, the banjo makes those 15 seconds of the song sound country. But the rest of it is still leagues more pop than even WANEGBT.

But The_Trouble_With_The_Truth has a good point. If it’s marketed as country, I guess it’s a country song, right? Right?!

If this gets pop airplane it will count towards the country chart thanks to the new system. The death of country music thus begins. Do I think this being released after the changes is coincidence, I think not. Welcome to the new world of country music, thanks billboard for putting the final nail in the coffin.
