I think so. If it continues to maintain a lead over Happy through the next few months, it has a strong shot.
Happy already has a negative net positive score on the pop callout chart, so it just might not be able to keep up with DH.  |
All Of Me is a strong contender too. That song received higher impression numbers, over 190 million on Billboard and over 250 million A1 while it was stuck at number two that place it in the Top Five of all time. #1 Blurred Lines/Happy (depending on chart), #3 We Belong Together, #4 Irreplaceable, #5 All Of Me. John Legend had actually been declining for two to three weeks before Happy fell fast enough to let All of Me hit Number One.
Of course, there was the week on A1 that Pharrell, John Legend, and Katy Perry all exceeded 200 million impressions, and over 160 million at Billboard. While I think Katy Perry's Dark Horse will be on top at Pop/Top 40, I think she will have to complete closely with All Of Me for the Number One Radio Song of 2014. Unlike Happy, Legend's song is declining more slowly.
Unfortunately, for those of us that are sick of Happy, the song will likely get a sales bump from the BET Awards, which combined with probably a Number Three finish on Radio Songs for 2014, and tons of audio and video streaming, will likely seal Pharrell's spot for Number One Song overall in 2014.
Hopefully this will be her biggest hit (just) as a songwriter
