I'm working with linking, transitive and intransitive verbs. For this sentence, do I need to write it as a statement? I think it is a linking verb. Intransitive?
"What is the most popular song in the country this week?"

"What is the most popular song in the country this week?"

That is a question.

The verb, "is," is a linking verb.

Is it also intransitive?

All linking verbs are intransitive -- they cannot have direct objects following them.

Can What be a subject? Or is song the subject?

In this sentence, "What" is the subject and "song" is the predicate noun (also called predicate nominative).
