You cannot use the Mailchimp popup embed code provided by Mailchimp on WordPress.COM hosted sites, however, Staff have recently added the Mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp

I will post some additional information below.
re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions
All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf. More to the point is the fact that when email addresses are submitted for the purpose of receiving blog updates that is the only purpose they can be used for.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
The mailchimp and aweber pop-up subscription code provided by those source sites will not operate on WordPress.COm hosted sites. Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
Additional information:
You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
That is where you can boldly and clearly state that you intend to harvest the email addresses of anyone who choose to submit theirs.Read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=following

Thank you for this quick response.
this is what i have been doing and it still isn’t working. -
Widgets have visibility settings that determine which pages they will be displayed on. See: Widget Visibility https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility
If you created a MailChimp account and are logged in when you used this guide https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp and you did not succeed you may type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.

Hi there,
You had the widget added to your site’s sidebar, but the sidebar doesn’t load on the home page. I moved the widget to a footer widget area and the pop-up loaded for me when I refreshed your page.
Note that the form will only appear to each new visitor once, and they won’t see it again unless they clear their browser cookies first.
