Don't Blame FTM for This One

I already posted this on Facebook and Twitter, but in case you missed it... this is a screen shot of a tweet from a country station (from June, I think). They actually promoted an interview with Gary Levox (and tagged him!) using this photo from, well, us....

D'oh!

Aldean Ain't No Barry White

New single: Burnin' It Down

FTM Praise: The Kiss of Commercial Death

With Jon Pardi's "What I Can't Put Down" struggling to find footing on the charts, I came to this realization. You can pretty much guarantee that if Farce the Music really likes a mainstream country single, the song will not have a whiff of the top 10 on the country charts. Don't believe me? Here are some commercial country singles we enjoyed, and their peaks on the US Country Chart.
