The whole pop chart is a business thing, not about music, so whether it's payola or not makes no difference or in the other words - the whole pop charts is Payola pop chart, because everybody has to pay to get into this wheel. So yes Payola is never really over! SKSKSSKSSKSSKSSSSSKSKSS. Yes, a good start for this era!!!

11 years and a week after she peaked at #1 with I Kissed a Girl. Good job, Katy.

Mission accomplished. Congrats. Now this can drop so the new song once released can take most of its spins.

If this peaks #10 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart, it would be her 18th top 10 hit. Here are all her previous song peaks:
#2 I Kissed a Girl #1 Hot n Cold #17 Thinking of You #1 Waking Up in Vegas #25 Starstrukk #25 If We Ever Meet Again #1 California Gurls #1 Teenage Dream #1 Firework #1 E.T. #1 Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) #1 The One That Got Away #3 Part of Me #1 Wide Awake #1 Roar #8 Unconditionally #1 Dark Horse #8 Birthday #15 This Is How We Do It #23 Rise #8 Chained to the Rhythm #38 Bon Appétit #33 Swish Swish #8 Feels #22 365 #19 Con Calma

Friendly reminder: the exchange of money for airplay solicitation is illegal in the United States. Radio stations that are found guilty of this can be fined an absurd amount or be shut down completely.
Second friendly reminder: loopholes of this include offering gifts or promo slots as an incentive for increased airplay, but the exchange is not an automatic guarantee for increased airplay.
Third friendly reminder: Mediabase's callouts aren't the only research available for radio stations to select their playlists. This is indeed enjoying a second week at #1 on Rate the Music as an example.
Fourth friendly reminder: your payola jokes and "woe is the industry" posts are stale.
Fifth friendly reminder: If payola was used to get this top ten, where the hell was that sweet sweet money that supposedly runs the radio industry when Katy's last two solo singles became the biggest pop airplay flops of her career?

Anyway, on the lighter side. Damn, DWAS only lost 136 spins, not the 200 it needed to lose. There's still a chance this couod reach top 10 tomorrow, but it's even slimmer now than yesterday.  But, yeah, if these updates continue into next week, it will keep Goodbyes at bay and manage to make the top 10. Bitch pulled it off! Katy's top ten and she is sending DWAS to its long awaited recurrency! Photo finish!

Friendly reminder: the exchange of money for airplay solicitation is illegal in the United States. Radio stations that are found guilty of this can be fined an absurd amount or be shut down completely. Assumed this was well known. "Checks clearing" has been used time and time again on this forum in reference to "payola" and not necessarily in terms of monetary compensation. Assumed this was, once again, well known. You mean the same Rate The Music that allows anyone to sign up, including fans who can sign up in droves/multiple accounts to push their favorite forward? It is about as efficient and accurate as Pulse's new "callout system" (where this sits at #1 as well btw, werk). By that standard, why does any artist ever flop, because payola/incentives are used by many artists. Doesn't mean they can dictate and steer how every single they release performs. As I have stated before, payola/incentives is NOT a bad thing. A lot of artists use it for higher/better peaks. It's just another chart tactic worth noting. Regardless, congrats on the top 10 peak Katy. It certainly helps soften that Hot 100 run and to achieve modest hit status. Hopefully the next release goes even further. Enjoyed the reminders tho

Yeah, I would say this song did its job for getting radio on board again. I think they'll be a lot more receptive toward the next single whether or not it has a radio deal..if it's good.

YES KATY!!! I would not be angry if this turned around on the Hot 100 and became a late summer hit, but overall, as I’ve said before, this has been a big success for her - and most importantly, it’s a bop too!

I hope it keeps getting good updates. I really hope this doesn't instantly get a -200 or something in tomorrow's update!

I'm dumb, idk what this means  Katy's first Top 40 top ten in 2 years (first since "Feels" reached #8)
Hence the reference to the NRO lyric "Two years and just like that" & gif

Enjoyed the reminders tho Never assume, hun. People are that dense or simply just don't know. Your knowledge is not everyone else's knowledge. If you remember, I've addressed the Rate the Music scores and how they can be drastically different and why in this very thread. I'm more than well aware of this. Regardless, that information is still sent to radio stations and they still use it to create their playlists. Apparently that point was entirely missed by you since you dragged the for fun Pulse callouts into this discussion which is not at all used for anything. Rate the Music is. Quit being obtuse. As per your last unnecessary response, that was my entire point. This payola junk only works if the song clicks well enough. If everyone is doing it all the time, then it's not really having much of an effect then, is it? Anyway, thanks for the responses. They weren't warranted or asked for since I wasn't talking to you or even referring to you. Not sure why you felt the need to defend yourself. But I enjoyed them.

I am not at all surprised this was the one to get her back on track. Absolute pop gem! The beginning of the chorus hits so damn hard and it’s pure bliss from there.

Not sure why there is this Taylor drama in here when every song from her last two albums, sans Delicate, have been rejected by the GP.

I'm grasping for straws as I hope for #1, but at the rate this is currently chugging along I think this will manage a #9 peak (assuming YNTCD slows down even further).

This is a grower on radio and I hope they keep pushing this single another month or so maybe top 5. Longevity is what this will do.
