Chart performance

"Bubba Shot the Jukebox" charted for several weeks prior to its release, due to several stations giving it unsolicited airplay while "I'll Think of Something" was Chesnutt's active single. A column in Billboard described the song as "not thought to be viable for radio by some in both Chesnutt's and MCA's camps", but that the unsolicited airplay made it "destined" to be a single. [3]
