Yes, so do the bank customers. NTK was a huge smash at my branch.

My coworkers are actually love Anti-Hero a lot now. And when I asked them a month ago if they like Taylor everyone said no, and one guy said "I'm more of a Katy Perry guy"  But the song is such a hit.

music is in a weird place because old songs have been flying up the charts over the past year which is wild. And if that’s the case then Ariana needs to release more tracks off of TUN

Agrih.  The mainstream scene is intriguing right now, it seems the trend goes for old songs, and I don't know if it's exactly nostalgia factor, not enough interest on current music, rediscovering underrated music, a combination, etc. It is indeed surprising how these "old" songs/samples have successfully dominated the year: Big Energy, First Class, I'm Good (Blue), Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), Die for You. People don't seem to care, those are the songs they're prefering.

As it should, NTK is Top 3 this decade so far, the fact I've played 500+ times, and still can't appreciate it, it must have some crack on it.

 

I'm super excited about Taylor, really hope this is a good Pop hit for her, I've heard it very often on the radio, and it sounds like it belongs there, such a breath of fresh air.

KMM and Woman were much bigger smashes (and more radio friendly) than NTK. I could never stand You Right and NTK. Get Into It (Yuh!) should have been the 2nd single instead of You Right.

"I'm Good (Blue)" slowing down it looks, we'll see, I've always had my doubts about the too "european" sound, that radio isn't very fan of.

do you think it's because of bad callouts?

Your personal taste, because when it comes to radio, NTK is close to be Doja's biggest Pop (radio) hit this era (if not already her biggest, its longevity has been beyond amazing). It's charting higher on the year-end chart, and receiving more recurrent airplay than "Woman", soon to surpass GII(Y). Song was never planned to be a single, radio was forced to play it due to the huge demand it has, and callouts confirm the decision. One of the best receptions from GP I've seen in recent years, despite how overplayed it could be, the song remain among GP's favorite, which is surprising given the aggresive and very explicit lyrics, people (and critics) just truly appreciate the quality this song has.

 

To me the song explains itself, it showcases Doja's talent as its best, the perfect combo between singer and rapper, a perfect example of why Doja Cat is one of the most fascinating artists to look for right now.

Perhaps callouts are not too good, I imagine the song could be testing just okayish or leaning to weak callouts.

I don't know how to answer this. Christmas freeze to me is a "progressive process". It just started with some AC stations already flipping to play Christmas-only music, majority of those stations follow in the upcoming weeks. HAC is more affected after Mid-December imo. In Pop's case, radio stops searching for adding new music as it usually does in early December, and the moves can slow down, not necessarily means anything moves, but it's common the top songs remain about the same till the start of new year. Moves considerably slow down around Dec. 20th, which can be more associated with the "freeze" term, until most likely the second week of January. Playlists often are not refreshed, and stations focus on playing best-of-the-year music. There's still at least more than a month with "normal" movement. 

 

I honestly think unestablished artists who are just starting to impact on radio on late november are the most affected.

So Miss Vegas last week atop, then BH should top the chart, and "Unholy" after perhaps until next year.

 

At least we're finally getting rid of those ancient hits (AIW, ADT, IAW and Sunroof). 

 

Rotten fish flopped, hopefully frefall incoming.  

 

Oh, btw The Neighbourhood's 2013 classic "Sweater Weather" is making some sort of "resurgence" on Pop radio, it already peaked at #7 on the chart during its original run, but many stations have picked it up again, specifically a big station (Minneapolis' KDWB-FM) has it on Power right now. Truly impressive, wish nothing but the best for that already classic.
