When did inter scope start caring this much about radio payola?

It is odd, because Gaga has never been associated with payola.

"Ophelia" tops the Pop chart in its 6th week, what a fast climb.  It should become Taylor's 14th #1 hit on the chart, extending her record for the most #1 hits overall.

Opalite is definetly coming 

Ordinary will be back to #2  but will be blocked by Taylor. 

No recurrents this week, but The Subway should be purged. The payola still going strong for Nice To Meet You and The Dead Dance.

opalite????

Even though it's technically more payola than a late push into the Top 10/Top5/#1, that is not typically seen as payola. Plus that lasts 1 day.

 

Stans have been using the term payola for songs rising later in their run.

 

Hope TDD can snatch a week in the Top 10.

I’m well aware. But that’s actual payola, as opposed to conspiracy theories.

Hopefully it goes top 10 on the Hot 100 too

TDD is not payola. What? Lol

Not a surprise, but Darlin spends a 2nd week at #1 on Billboard Country airplay, with a large margin: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bulletins.billboard.com/country/country_update_2025_1114.pdf
