The song is going to overtake Uptown Funk for #1 on iTunes (USA) and is surging on radio (5M+ update), the song is #31 (+5)! Will this be her first #1 on the hot 100?

Yes tbh.

i think so yea

Hopefully but watch her getting blocked again by something

I see it peaking at #2 like Lights. It's peaking too soon on iTunes. It will be her biggest hit though.

Yes! yes! Yes !

I see it stalling somewhere in the Top 5 or Top 3 but I would really be glad to be proven wrong.

I think this thread has been made like 2 or 3 times already But yes yes yes please

It's pretty obvious by now.

I sure hope not.

What other song has the potential to block it right now?

Hopefully!

Isn't it only becoming huge now because 50SoG is out?

It'll probably cool down afterwards whereas things like ToL, 45S and Style will keep growing.

No.

Right. Because every other film soundtrack single that went #1 (so about half the #1s in the 90s) died off immediately after the film came out.

I haven't been following the charts that much these days but I think there's really no "major" threat that could prevent it from going #1. I'm more worried about her stalling as soon as the movie effect wears down. But I really hope it becomes a huge #1 hit once all is said and done.

Will it even be in top 5?

Hopefully. Radio really needs to pick up the pace, though.

It's only #2 on iTunes today so
