Collegiate Country

I'm a college student who enjoys listening to Country Music! I like to discuss my playlists and opinions about music here.

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

I really wish success in country music didn't balance on the radio. There is so much good music that never gets played, for whatever reason. As someone who listens to whatever sounds good, it's really freeing to not be bound by the radio. #myplaylistisbetterthancountryradio

I am just here to say that "Now or Never" by Corey Kent and Lauren Alaina has exceeded my expectations, which were already high. Back under my rock I go!

@ParkerMcCollum Wellll you should ask Lauren Alaina bc her voice is great and it's been awhile since you did a duet

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

@ParkerMcCollum I love ribeyes but I don't get to eat them like this, people judge me 😔

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

Ain't no way I just saw this after tweeting about how it should have been another song lmao. Still a good choice though!

New @dustinlynch single is “Chevrolet,” feat. @JellyRoll615.

Impacts country radio on December 11th.

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

"Honky Tonk Heartbreaker" had better be @dustinlynch's next radio single

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

It's crazy to me how in the late 2010s, @MorganWallen was one of a few artists on country radio that still championed an organic sound, even shifting the entire genre in that direction. Now he is the antithesis of what modern country music should sound like.

[Dustin Lynch @dustinlynch]

What a way to cap off an incredible year! Country Radio friends/fam thank YOU for another 1!

Thanks @TheJoshThompson, @ThomasRhett and #zachcrowell for bringing this into existence. Thank you to my team, band, and crew & the best damn radio folks in the biz @BBRMusicGroup @BMG

Sam Hunt's music is getting progressively countrier in its production and I'm so here for it

@Lauren_Alaina Where's Lainey?

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

@Lauren_Alaina @laineywilson We need to make it clear as fans, we don't want multiple versions of the same song, we want only the *best* version of a song. Even if that means it never sees country radio. Twice now in recent history has this happened, and both songs had OG versions fans love over the single

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

Seems to me @BigLoud wanted to push this as a single, but @laineywilson is in hot demand on country radio rn. My guess is @BBRMusicGroup pulled a @UMGNashville and blocked her from being on this as a single. BigLoud said screw that and sent it without her...

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

Ironically enough, @Lauren_Alaina did not replace @laineywilson and sent it alone instead. Likely against her new label's better wishes, but unfortunately Lauren knows what it's like to be replaced on a song and have it go on without you. It's a shame Nashville hasn't learned...

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

@BE__radiant @Lauren_Alaina @laineywilson Yeah, it's definitely a very Lauren song but since she released a duet version first, I see no point to send a solo version to country radio. Especially when Lainey Wilson is regarded as the greatest thing since sliced bread nowadays 😂

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

Oh no... there's a version of @Lauren_Alaina's "Thicc As Thieves" out now without @laineywilson at all. Don't let this be another "Thinking 'Bout You" debacle, it's not worth it for a radio single.

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

Against all odds, the original song "Thinking 'Bout You" by @dustinlynch and @Lauren_Alaina has reached 100 million streams on Spotify. This is a huge win for country music fans, who will continue to reject the importance of radio airplay as the only path to industry success.

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

It's irritating to me that @dustinlynch openly ignores @Lauren_Alaina's involvement in the success of "Thinking 'Bout You." Never once has he publicly thanked her. Never once has he asked her to sing it live. Whether it's business or not, it makes him look ungrateful. Do better.

[Parker McCollum @ParkerMcCollum]

1000 retweets and I’ll put it back in the set for rest of this year

[Collegiate Country @collegiatecntry]

@Lauren_Alaina @opry @CircleAllAccess PLEASE sing "Thinking 'Bout You" with Dustin! We have never gotten to see you sing it live
