No I highly doubt that "Burn" will only peak at #11 on the Hot 100. It's #5 on overall radio, and it'll be #4 sooner or later. Plus, it's close to the top 10 on iTunes minus the grammy songs. And it's doing great on spotify, too.
#13 is great?
The fact that it is a full 4 spots below Talk Dirty on Spotify makes me think TD will jump ahead of it. TD also has a massive advantage in sales.
Tracking some date and I wouldn't be surprised if SS doesn't get Top 3, things are not looking as I thought for it this week, it depends on the sales difference

It should be close. #3 on Spotify, #4 on iTunes if you don't count The Man and Happy (which will not be in the top 10 next week).
Dark Horse: Should remain at #1. "Dark Horse"'s sales next week will be well over 300k, with 400k in sight as well.
All of Me: This could go top 20, but top 10 is unlikely without any strong radio support.
Get Lucky: I see a top 20 re-entry for this. Sales should be neck-a-neck with John Legend's song, but Legend has advantages in the other areas, so it should rank below it.
Drunk in Love: It's very close to the top 10 right now. It's doing great on streaming and radio, so the sales spike should push it into the top 10.
Radioactive: While sales are far below that of Dark Horse, they are also well ahead of Happy. This is a lock to be #2 on digital next week and it could potentially notch its best sales week to date. (it's current high point is 236k the week it went top 10 Hot 100 for the first time.) Also, expect 60-75% of sales from the Kendrick version. Should be in the lower half of the top 10. 7M should be crossed by the end of the year and potentially before "Blurred Lines."
Royals: I expect a return to the top 5 for Lorde and 5M to be reached next week. It's currently only 208k away from the milestone.
- Burn will barely miss the top 10. At #11 on iTunes pre-Grammys and at #13 on Spotify, this was a close call, especially when you consider that it is #4 on Pop radio. Without strong HAC and Rhythmic support, though, it will unfortunately peak at the infamous #11 spot.
Plus huge streaming numbers. DH is number one with a huge lead on Spotify. This song isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The delayed video is only gonna help it's longevity actually (especially with streaming and possibly sales)
