W Earl Brown: What is your most listened to song this year? | #CMT

W. Earl Brown hears a little Loretta Lynn in Kacey Musgraves. Answering CMT's question about his most-listened-to song, the actor picks "Dry Spell," praising its cleverness and saying it sounds like something Lynn would have written. He also makes room for Johnny Blue Skies, the recording name used by Sturgill Simpson, whose music he says he has followed for years.

That brief musical recommendation was CMT's sole new upload, collecting roughly 740 views in its first ten hours. It also has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's highlighted uploads, alongside an earlier installment of the same listening-question series featuring Luke Grimes.

There is television business on the channel too: "The Last Cowboy S7: Official Promo | CMT" continues picking up views, with Taylor Sheridan's series scheduled to begin its seventh season on November 6. Brown's clip, meanwhile, comes with a Sheriff Country tie-in in its description.

Across the channel, CMT collected nearly a million views over the week, with its subscriber count unchanged. Its current daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Among nearby music channels, 3 Beat and JDZmedia are having busier-than-usual viewing days, while CMT sits third for weekly views gained in this group.

The contrast is distinctly CMT: a small new conversation about country taste sits beside a substantial performance archive, including Randy Travis and Josh Turner's "Your Man" and Chris Stapleton's Vince Gill tribute.
