As for those who say age is not an issue, again, tell me when was the last time a female over 40-41 years old hit top10 on POP with a SOLO single.

The last I can think of is Die Another Day by Madonna in 2002. She was 44.

I do think age is an issue definitely, especially for females. But I think it'll still be possible for people like Fergie and Gwen to get top 40 hits, since they're well established, and also I reckon most people think they're younger than they really are. Obviously if they were 23 they'd get hits much easier, but I think it's still possible for them to get hits now.

Trumpets could make it in the top 10 by Sunday if it keeps increasing and Black Widow keeps falling at its rate current rate

Her new song really is great, I'm glad radio is taking to it so well

After Animals, the #1 radio contenders are looking kinda weak until you get down to Blessed Space...

"Blank Space"

Taylor's 1989 era is too much

I am afraid its coming too hard and peaking before New Year. I need it to help move albums in January.

I'm so happy Jealous and Blank Space will be in the top 10 soon.

You mean Jealous right?

Trumpets could enter T10 if it either stays extremely consistent, or picks up again. It's in his favor to pick back up since 5 songs are free-falling from the top ten. His spins/A.I. just seems worrying, he might start dipping out in favor of Ariana/Weeknd, Sam, Iggy/Moo and of course Taylor (who will be the one blocking him from following Nick into the t10).

Either Animals will pull OMN and spend multiple weeks atop until Tay. Or radio starts dropping it once it hits #1 and Don't starts banging up huge spins.

I'm not saying it's not possible, but Don't being such a weak seller would be a weird airplay #1. Since spring 07, the vast majority of airplay #1s have had at least a handful of sales T10 weeks; the only exception it seems is Ne-Yo's Closer with zero such weeks.

Seems like more and more songs will end up being airplay/streaming fueled as time goes on. That, or their sales will peak well before the airplay does. It is quite rare to see sales and airplay align and peak together these days.

Well, call it the beginning of a new era. He's the closest. I do see it more likely Animals just keeps the spot warm, but they're already closing in on the #1 spins avg. peak and Ed is the closest contender. So ultimately, I forsee an All of Me/Not a Bad Thing situation - 5 weeks, 2 weeks, respectively. NaBT is the closest it gets to horrible sales and hitting #1 I believe so the glove is fitting for repeating.
