ADD LIB — Brace For (CHR) Impact (August 28, 2018)

Welcome to Add Lib, your Tuesday report on POP! Goes The Charts that’s mad about CHR/Top 40 adds, based on the station data provided by Mediabase 24/7 and Add Board. This week: established collaborations continue to lead the way, though some reactive Alternative crossovers from Imagine Dragons and Panic! At The Disco are hoping to break through. Let’s add ’em up:

HAPPIER TIMES ARE HERE: Results were slower than last week across the Top 40 panel, as many outlets opted not to report ahead of the holiday weekend. That being said, for those stations that did submit their adds, it was a mixed bag of proven pop titles and some solid impacting songs in the top ten. Last week’s leader, “Happier” by Marshmello and Bastille, secured another week at the top, picking up 34 more stations. Just behind that collaboration is the hit that landed in second place a week ago, “Promises” from Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, in with 29 stations this time around. Tied for third at 27 stations, “Beautiful” by Bazzi and Camila Cabello and “Natural” by Imagine Dragons, which had a last-minute impact scheduled, were also solid for the day.

For other songs officially going for adds this week, BTS‘s first collaboration with Nicki Minaj, “Idol”, picked up a nice 23 stations in its first week, just ahead of “Thunderclouds” by LSD (the act featuring Labrinth, Sia and Diplo) and “High Hopes” by Panic! At The Disco with 20 stations each. Respectively, the first title ranks in fifth, while the other two are tied for sixth. All three songs should appear in the top 50 at the format in the next couple of weeks.

Have a great Labor Day weekend and enjoy the extra time off!

MOST ADDED — THIS WEEK’S TOP TEN
1. MARSHMELLO x BASTILLE, “Happier” (Astralwerks/Capitol)

BTS featuring NICKI MINAJ – “Idol” (BigHit/Columbia)
Album: Love Yourself: Answer (2018)
Past T40 History: The popular K-pop act has appeared in the top 40 at the format twice this year. Will the panel idolize this song?

LSD (LABRINTH/SIA/DIPLO) – “Thunderclouds” (RECORDS/Columbia)
Album: TBA (2018)
Past T40 History: While this trio’s latest track attempts to reach the Top 40 list, “Genius” is now in the top 50 at Alternative radio.

PANIC! AT THE DISCO – “High Hopes” (Fueled By Ramen/RRP)
Album: Pray For The Wicked (2018)
Past T40 History: On the verge of their fourth top 40 hit at the format, the act’s last chart single here, 2016’s “Victorious”, hit #30.

RADIO ACTIVE — A Weekly Chart CHRonicle (August 26, 2018)

Welcome to Radio Active, a Sunday evening report from POP! Goes The Charts that gets to the chart of the matter: all the highlights from the CHR/Top 40 chart, as published by Mediabase 24/7 and Mediabase Research. It’s the last chart update for August already! Where’s the time gone? While we try to figure out the answer to that one, check out this week’s hottest hits on the latest report:

FAREWELL TO “YOU”: As we return to the “Songs That Never Seem To Go Away” department, “Girls Like You” from Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B continues its run at #1 on the Top 40 chart for the fifth week. It’s the act’s longest run at #1 here since 2012, when “One More Night” collected eight weeks at the top between September and November of that year. “Girls” also has an enormous lead atop the Hot AC chart in its fourth week at the summit, more than 1,200 spins over the song in the runner-up position. However, the Top 40 list will finally see a new #1 next week, as the tune that’s been docked at #2 for four consecutive weeks, “Better Now” by Post Malone, makes it ascent to the top. Behind him, it’ll be a wild fall of potential #1 songs, so stay tuned!

“HIGH” EXPECTATIONS: It’s a nice week for collaborations making the top 40, as the newest releases by Logic featuring Ryan Tedder, Tyga featuring Offset and Calvin Harris & Sam Smith all enter the region at the Top 40 format. For Harris and Smith, their single “Promises” bypasses the top 50 and goes straight into the top 40 at #40, becoming Harris’s 18th and Smith’s tenth single to make it this high. Additionally, Weezer scores their first top 40 hit since 2005 with their remake of Toto‘s “Africa”, rising 46-39.

Leading a parade of three top 50 debuts this week, Marshmello x Bastille‘s “Happier” is new at #41, about two dozen spins shy of the top 40. Though the latter group’s had some solid success on the Alternative radio chart, they’ve only managed to place two songs in the top 40 at this format: 2014’s “Pompeii”, which spent two weeks at #3 that March, and 2016’s “Good Grief”, which just reached #38 that November. Additionally, Panic! At The Disco‘s “High Hopes” (#47) and PRETTYMUCH‘s “Summer On You” (#49) are welcomed to the top 50; the former group is headed towards their fourth top 40 song here, while the latter group is hunting for their second such entry. Will they make it before the summer comes to a close? We’re pretty much unsure, but never say never, as it could surprise.

Chart Notes:

Last week’s top new entry from newcomer Nina Nesbitt makes a huge move from 39-29, as “Loyal To Me” secures the title of Biggest Mover. Two collaborations debut on the countdown this week, with “Happier” from DJ/producer Marshmello and rockers Bastille claiming the Highest Debut at #34. The British band has led by chart three times between 2013 and 2016, with their most recent chart single, “Quarter Past Midnight”, reaching #7 earlier this summer. The second debut is a single that pairs singer/songwriter Mat Kearney and DJ/producer RAC, coming in at #40 with “Memorized”. It’s the second top 40 entry from Kearney’s album CRAZYTALK, which follows “Kings & Queens”, a #21 song from the spring of this year.

ADD LIB — Brace For (CHR) Impact (August 21, 2018)

Welcome to Add Lib, your Tuesday report on POP! Goes The Charts that’s mad about CHR/Top 40 adds, based on the station data provided by Mediabase 24/7 and Add Board. This week: two top collaborations by Marshmello x Bastille and Calvin Harris & Sam Smith make the pop panel happier, but what else is popping at the format? Let’s add ’em up:

BREAKING PROMISES: We’ve been pretty happy lately, but we sure are happier seeing the song “Happier” at the top position. The first collaboration from Marshmello and Bastille puts a smile or two on the Most Added report, with a hefty first week total of 64 stations. “Happier” is also the Most Added song at the Alternative format this Tuesday, with a Hot AC impact date coming up next month. Bastille recently topped the Alternative chart for a week with “Quarter Past Midnight”, while Marshmello stalled at #2 on the Top 40 chart in a collaboration with Anne-Marie called “Friends”.

Meanwhile, another two first-time collaborators, Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, keep their promise for a good first week on the adds report with “Promises”, which breaks at 53 stations during its first session. (Of course, it’s not breaking any promises; it’s just the label breaking it at the format.) The release still holds at #1 on iTunes throughout certain parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom, though it just missed the top ten at the service here in the States. Harris’s recent pop smash with Dua Lipa, “One Kiss”, just exited the top ten at the format. (It’s still in the top 40, however.)

Next week, look out for LSD‘s “Thunderclouds” and Panic! At The Disco‘s “High Hopes” in their quest for the Most Added song in the country. The latter track ranked just below the top ten on the report this week, and has been receiving a fair amount of early airplay since the start of the month.

MOST ADDED — THIS WEEK’S TOP TEN
1. MARSHMELLO x BASTILLE, “Happier” (Astralwerks/Capitol)
2. CALVIN HARRIS & SAM SMITH, “Promises” (Capitol-Columbia)
3. BAZZI featuring CAMILA CABELLO, “Beautiful” (APG/Atlantic)
4. IMAGINE DRAGONS, “Natural” (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope)
5. BENNY BLANCO, HALSEY & KHALID, “Eastside” (Friends Keep Secrets/Interscope)
6-T. LOGIC featuring RYAN TEDDER, “One Day” (Def Jam)

8-T. THE CHAINSMOKERS featuring EMILY WARREN, “Side Effects” (Disruptor/Columbia)
