Why not? 

If radio picks it up, and streaming continues it could go up to #3, or #4, it`s not that far 

True I was just not getting my hopes up.

I always wanted Gaga to get her fourth #1

I don't understand "radio impact". Wouldn't radio simply be playing it already if demand is there? :oprah:

The #1 is super weak. I think it's only about 280 points right now, while not long ago it was 300 - 400 points. That's why that Lil Wayne song nearly debuted at #1 in its first week a couple weeks ago. 

I don't think a #1 is impossible, but unless radio ramps up (which we don't know for sure yet) then I don't see it happening. I think it will stick around in the Top 10 for quite a while though which is great because she hasn't had this type of single longevity since Applause. 

Also i'm not familiar with American radio, but Shallow seems like an awkward song because it doesn't really seem to fit on pop radio? It doesn't have that cross over appeal, leaving it stuck on Hot AC.

same as asib soundtrack not getting #1? :ohwell:

Different situation lol. :ohwell: plus i always had faith in ASIB unlike many here. I just dont think it is likely Shallow will top the Hot 100. 99% certain it wont. That being said top 5 or top 3 is beyond amazing so lets not get greedy.

I don`t get it why not offer a little payola... She really needs it 

Payola isn't an actual thing (well it hasn't been for a long time). Plus, she doesn't need it. It's rising on Spotify, rising on Apple Music, and stable on iTunes. We just need radio. 

There's also a potential iTunes discount eventually paired with the boost surrounding a potential Oscars performance (although, I doubt the latter will result in a #1).

It won't. Chart experts said it would of needed about 90 million airplay audience this week for it to have topped the Hot 100. Even with those amazing sales and streams. By the time the song reaches 90 million radio audiences (if it ever does) the song wont still be selling over 70k per week and it's streams will likely have decreased by that point because it would take months for a Gaga song to get to 90M on radio. I'd be the happiest if she did somehow go #1 but I'm just trying to be a little realistic. Still I'm ready to be surprised tho! Let's hope I guess.
