I am expecting a pretty low debut, based on the tracking methodology used for the Hot 100. According to Billboard.com, they track as follows for the Hot 100: 

SALES: Friday to Thursday
STREAMS: Friday to Thursday
AIRPLAY: Monday to Sunday

Because PI was released Thursday between 11pm - 8pm US times (depending on your time zone), she will only have a few hours of Sales and Streams counted toward next week's chart. However, she will have the full Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun airplay counted. But since it's an iHeartRadio exclusive until tomorrow (Monday), it's not going to have full airplay (I believe this is what they mean when they say the song "impacts" radio on Monday 9/12).

So, based on that, I would be surprised if it's Top 10 on it's debut week. 

(If I'm misunderstanding this, please feel free to clarify anything I've missed!)

It's AirPlay from Friday-Sunday won't make it debut from #80-#100 on AirPlay alone as I originally thought since it's too low which is good I guess. 

Those 1 hour sales on Thursday usually end up being added to the other tracking week.

All songs are released on Thursdays at 11 PM as this is the time iTunes refreshes. So naturally that one hour is added to the next week. And her radio airplay alone won't be enough to debut on hot 100 this week.
