Where is Dua’s, Olivia’s, Billie’s, Ari’s, Megan’s, and Doja’s lead singles?!? We need to shake up these charts some more.

We could add possibilities of a full-fledged Rihanna comeback, or a new Cardi B album, or a Bruno Mars return.  Maybe One Direction will make their long-awaited comeback riding off the success of Harry’s solo career.

Could “Mexican Regional Songs” become a contender to be the main style of the year in music side by side with 90’s europop and smash this summer?

We could also see Country as a legitimate crossover force, as aside from all of Morgan’s stuff we have the Fast Car cover and songs from Zach Bryan and Bailey Zimmerman doing well.

I don't think there's ever been a more boring time for Pop music, and music as a whole tbh

LN is having insane longevity... I'm starting to think it may be coming for KB and Flowers for YE #1

Yeah.....LN has room to grow at the 2 largest radio formats, Country & T40, among others. And LN doesn't have any official remixes for download &/or streaming yet. All of this works in its favor & the remixes could give LN legs at Dance Mixplay &/or Rhythmic. So LN has plenty of Aces left up its summer shirt sleeves.

Having Active Rock crossover songs would really help increase mainstream radio variety.

And we haven’t even had one since “Second Chance” in 2009.

So Lip Predictions now has her Twitter profile set to only allow people she mentions by name in a thread to comment on posts.

technically the disturbed cover SOS did it but i don't think it got any pop airplay

 

I'm surprised Ghost doesn't send their stuff to radio. Bloody Mary should have been at least top 20 HIT on pop radio

Disturbed only hit #42 so that was not an official hit. Also it was the victim of bad timing as it hit that #42 position the week before Prince died. Prince died the day before Lemonade was released, and Lemonade was released the week before Views was.

Princess Diana 2.9 k sales after “selling” 80k

Yeah TSOS hovered in the 40s of both T40 & HAC. HAC at least should've given TSOS more airplay. And TSOS was cursed by the Grammys too. David Bowie died not long before the awards. That gave him what mightve/would've been Disturbeds Grammy. And because the Conan performance wasn't coded right those streams didn't count toward TSOS on the Hot 100 either. TSOS had peaks much higher in other nations than the US.
