Monday update
up 422 spins for the week with 55 stations playing it. the gainers list is from the full panel though and not for the one used for the published stations chart which is posted here. the numbers are a bit higher. hopefully it will be top 50 in a few days.
there is no sign of it on itunes yet. with the way Epic works it might not be on itunes till November 3 when she performs on the Today Show. that is how Epic did it with Fifth Harmony.

Interesting that Epic would suppress the single but sometimes it works out

Sometimes it pays off, particularly if they are planning to announce her LP at the same time and put it up for pre-order. If they takes off at radio before then, they can push for big first week sales that way.

Confused:
So the album is called "Title" too? And it features a heavily airbrushed photo of the "we know that issh ain't real" girl on the cover?

It's now at the top of the real-time add board, and I can't see it going below Top 5 on the final (we should have figured this - the poster here has shared that it's playing on over 50 stations, and there weren't close to 50 pre-impact adds).

I like this song at first listen more than I liked "All About That Base" which took me ages to get into. However it could be because this song is kind of similar to "Base" and I'm already used to that song.

With this kind of presence in the market, I wouldn't be shocked to see her slip into the Best New Artist race at the Grammys. She's going to be so top-of-mind for voters, and while this song isn't eligible, it proves she's for real.
(Of course, she'd be a lame duck nominee since we all know Mr. Smith is taking it)

I think this could DEFINITELY be another top 10 Hot 100 hit for her.

Even if none of her future singles is as successful as AATB, she still has it made with her publishing contract with Epic. She's not going anywhere.

I don't mean to sound...well... something
But it was pretty obvious she wasn't gonna be a one-hit wonder.
Call Me Maybe is my definition of a perfect pop song, but it's driven due to the song and lyrics more than Carly Rae Jepsen as a personality.
All About That Base is driven not JUST by the song and lyrics, the song is a direct fusion of Meghan's personality as well, along with the video. Those last two elements are QUINTESSENTIAL to making a star, instead of the song. I think it was pretty evident once we heard Dear Future Husband that the song wasn't bigger than her... because the song IS her.
Let's face it, I Kissed A Girl is one of the most novel, one-hit-wonder sounding songs I can recall topping the chart in a long time. It's way more novelty than Call Me Maybe. It just is, it's nothing against Katy Perry. But Katy Perry broke through that because of her personality (and looks).
The fact of the matter is, it's really really rare you see such a star-turn right out of the gate by a young female act. But just because it happened, doesn't mean it was a One Hit Wonder.
That's like saying Baby One More Time was a novelty with the school girl outfit. That's like saying Christina Aguilera could have been a one hit wonder because there was the novelty of the "Genie" aspect.
You could tell that Baby One More Time and Genie In A Bottle were not one hit wonders as they were happening. You could tell Call Me Maybe was bigger than any force of Carly Rae Jepsen.
You could tell that, regardless of it being a new singer who has to be introduced to the public, All About That Bass was not some fluke by Meghan Trainor. It's been obvious for awhile, imo.
People just need to be able to more acutely differentiate when that rare star-turn debut is happening, vs. the other thing.

I think they're under ASCAP? They're racking them up! I can't believe this song got that many adds. Assuming this smashes + she is pretty much guaranteed to dominate with Dear Future Husband, I could totally see her being the next Adele/Katy. Psh... and people thought she would be a one-hit wonder.

No reason to think that. For the past several months, pop programmers have been all about follow-ups to #1 singles. "In Your Arms" - monster impact week. "Boom Clap" - which effectively served as a follow-up to "Fancy" - monster impact week. "Let Your Hair Down" - way stronger impact week than you'd intuitively expect of a song like that. Same with "Break the Rules." "I'm Not the Only One" - monster impact week.
And the particular #1 this is following is not only arguably the biggest or second biggest hit of any #1 this year - it's also by far the biggest cultural phenomenon.
Plus, Lips are Movin was engineered to sound exactly like AATB, so basically anyone that felt AATB was worthy of airplay should be jumping at this one.
I know what you mean, but I think Carly Rae Jepsen actually did have a personality on that song. The problem with her follow-ups (if we don't count Good Time, which definitely benefited from Owl City's touch) is that they ignored the personality of her and of her song. Call Me Maybe isn't a sexy, loud 80s club song - it's cutesy, girl-next-door pop in the vein of Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me."
The rest of her music should have gone that path.
Meghan seems to be avoiding that mistake. Everything she's released, except for maybe Close Your Eyes, is consistent with who she was on AATB.

People just need to be able to more acutely differentiate when that rare star-turn debut is happening, vs. the other thing. What happened with Carly was. She has badly managed by Scooter Braun. "This Kiss" was the wrong followup on the two hits of "Call Me Maybe"/"Good Time".Her whole album "Kiss" was full of nice pop gems.If Scooter Braun pushed CRJ the same way he has been doing Ariana Grande the last few years.She also would of been more successful. Right now the only thing that is known at the moment is that Carly is working on a followup album.Carly could of been successful if managed right and had the right promotion. Meghan Trainor not much into it."All About That Bass" is good but it is a little premature to call her followup a hit at the moment.The song has barely been out for awhile.The songs on the "Title" EP just aren't that great.

Might I remind you that just because you don't deem DFH and Title (AND Close Your Eyes) "good" songs doesn't mean, well, anything.
In fact I think it's pretty obvious that they're bonafide hits waiting to happen.
Dear Future Husband is clearly a smash in the making.
I don't disagree with you on Carly Rae Jepsen. I love her album. It's great. But after that, it's easy to see why Lips Are Movin was the smart choice (although I think she still would have smashed and been fine with DFH); you need to take the personality factor of wait made the first song a hit and mold the artist's identity out of it.
Call Me Maybe was very well served by Carly's girlish voice, girlish looks, and girlish lyrics. It was innocent, it was poppy.
I think her other songs are strong -- but you're right in that This Kiss and Tonight I'm Getting Over You are kind of odd 80s club bangers that had nothing to do with the personality package that made Call Me Maybe so successful.
By the way, Meghan Trainor is a MUCH stronger singer than Carly Rae Jepsen. I don't really see her vocals talked about much, but she has a really great tone, and she sounds terrific on Lips are Movin.
I still maintain though that you could tell that Call Me Maybe overtook Carly, in the sense that I don't think she really ever had an image for herself, or at least not a star-making one.
The All About That Bass video is a star turn. And Meghan's got a spunky personality that shines in her interviews as well as her songs and her videos. Which is why I think her longevity is still fairly apparent, even if it's still premature of me to say that.

She avoided the one hit wonder fate pretty soon, in fact from all the newbies who get number one hits this summer all but Magic! got their second top 50 hit pretty fast.
Anyway, i think people talking about Carly Rae Jepsen are forgetting some things. First, Lips are moving entered fast in the top 50, but that doesn't mean it will be a hit. Carly had a second top 10 hit, and people can claim it was Owl City touch on the song, but the song was a top 10 hit due to Carly, Owl city had one big hit (some years ago) and he didn't do absolutely anything on pop till he teamed with Carly (wich was the hot singer of the moment after Call me maybe). Nothing right now can indicate how Meghan's career is going to do in a near future. Her ep is doing well, but not better than Shawn Mendes or Troye Sivan and they did it without any radio help (Life of the party didn't even reach top 50 and Happy little pill wasn't even released, i still don't understand why).
The truth is Meghan has writing skills can make her to have a long career, but nothing is guarantied at this point. Anyway, the fact that Lips are moving had zero problems to reach top 50 before it adds day, it's a very good sign
