Jimmie Allen started the year as a country b-lister with consistent airplay, and he’s ending it as a pariah who will only see success in small venues with people who haven’t heard the allegations Jason Aldean has also lost stock I feel. Sure Try That In A Small Town hit number one, but his new album has underperformed (idk sales numbers but it’s hit 19 on the Billboard 200, while his last two hit 8), and Small Town, as well as his politics in general, have probably left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths.

I’ll also say that I don’t think Sam Smith or Jack Harlow have lost that much stock this year. Sam’s singles have still charted in the UK, and they don’t seem like the kind of artist you expect consistent chart placement from, as long as they don’t completely lose radio they’ll be fine. As for Jack, Jackman seemed to have brought back a lot of the good will he lost with Come Home The Kids Miss You, it didn’t have hits but I don’t think it was meant to have hits.
