Has a song ever reached #1 on pop radio without debuting on callouts? because positions is gonna do that apparently 

Not that I can remember. I really don't get why it's taking so long for "positions" to debut. I mean, "Mood" reached the top faster and it debuted on callouts before being #1.

If levitating doesn’t get better and keeps getting played....... then that’s straight up p*yola. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore

The way the supposed My Oh My hitmaker DaBaby did nothing for Levitating. Hm. Weird.

 

Future Nostalgia era (US):

1 Top 2 hit 

2 Top 20 hits

 

 

Romance era (US): 

1 #1 if you count Senorita 

1 Top 20 hit

all other entries peaking below Top 40

 

DaBaby still saved the Romance era by being that feature. Dua has had strong momentum all year so they used him on a remix to keep it going.

So I'm assuming no more callouts until 2021?

******** were PERCHED in this thinking Ariana was going to debut at the 15th position and serve Dynamite

Looks like, when asked, the American audience answered and said they wanted to hear Ariana's lead single on the airwaves and not ******'s

Suffa

Those are the most abysmal callouts I've seen in a while, label keeps pushing the song, but the reception gets worse and worse every week.  

 

GP truly loves Bieber and Ari, especially Bieber, wow, he really is on demand. I'm almost sure "Holy" is getting at least a week atop, callouts have improved a lot, and keep doing that while more people listen to it. "Lonely" is a big surprise, it explains those really big gains, it's just going to skyrocket to the top, I am very shocked, but the callouts are excellent.

 

Ari debuting amazingly with "positions" as expected, amazing song, and truly impressed by "34+35", GP seems very interested on it, despite being an awful song, wow, Ariana really is the Queen of Pop Radio right now.

 

"Bang!" has definetely a bright future in early 2021, maybe even Top 10 on Hot 100 after Christmas.

 

Mood's longevity is insane, it's here to stay.

 

Awful decreases for K&Q, looks like it's about to start to decrease very hard, GP got tired fast of it.

 

Drake stalling, don't think it's going any higher with LNCL, still a tremendously good reception for the song overall.

[LCTV]

Bang! is going to explode.

[Reverse Warholian]

Ari 

[Raphy23]

Welp Kings & Queens had a great run And at one point it was killing callouts, so not complaining. 

[Bethenny Frankel]

These callouts are horrible, I feel bad for those who only listen to radio

 

[Psycho]

Someone in the Taylor Swift base said Scooter was paying people to acclaim Ariana/Justin sings and pan Ava and Dua's sings. How ****ed up if true?

 

But seriously, Kings & Queens and Levitating >>> Positions & Lonely. America has tragic taste, wbk

 

[Yanko]

Who determines callout scores? 

[Yooorsh]

Ariana

 

We love her.

[fridayteenage]

14 Levitating 20.4 (-1.7)

 

Is Scooter paying to have dua go even lower when she's already at the bottom?

How many though? 400? Cause i dont get it sometimes. There have been songs that have done well on streaming but bombed on callouts (ex: rain on me).

I guess its a completely different demographic that likes different kind of stuff than the ones who use streaming? 

[808s]

That Bang! song is SO.****ING.BAD

[Kamil24]

not surprised about Lonely. Probably his only non-terrible single.
