Eric Church’s ‘Some Of It’ Tops The Charts

Country superstar Eric Church is back at the top of both the Billboard and Mediabase country charts this week with his latest smash, “Some Of It.”

Written by Church alongside Jeff Hyde, Clint Daniels and Bobby Pinson, “Some Of It” is the second single from Church’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album, Desperate Man.

“Some Of It” was an instant hit and is one of Church’s most successful singles to date, but the song almost didn’t make the cut for the record.

“I was playing the album for a dear friend of ours and my wife was with me,” the North Carolina native recalls. “This person loved the album, but my wife said, ‘but let me play you what did not make it,’ and the first thing she played was ‘Some Of It.’ It was always a favorite song of mine, and I listened to it that night and it is just… I am going to regret if I do not record this song.”

He continued, “I called my manager that night and said, ‘hey we have got to talk.’ The recording was done, the record was essentially done, but I said, ‘I have got to do this, I have to add this song.’ Initially, all the stuff that I thought was going to be the pillars for this album just bombed. But I think it’s really interesting that the album took on an identity that allowed ‘Some Of It’ to make it from where it started to where it is now, and it just fit in the dialogue. To me, it made the album. I loved the album before it was on there – but it might be my favorite album now that it’s on there, so that’s the way I look at it.”

Church’s massive Double Down Tour continues this fall, with shows resuming Sept. 13.
