Billboard is in a tough spot. The original version of the song, before Billy Ray helped remix it, WAS on the country hot 100. They pulled it for unknown reasons. Apparently it was not country enough despite having banjos, singing with a country twang, and traditionally country lyrics. Whatever their reasoning they pulled it. Now Billy Ray comes along and sings a couple verses. Are they supposed to add it back onto the list? If they do the message could look like "Now that you've added an old white dude, it can be country again." As I said, they backed themselves into a corner. Probably best to just own up to the mistake and add it back on the list, but what do I know.
