ADD LIB — Brace For (CHR) Impact (April 28, 2020)

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: in a very divided week at this format, Sam Smith and Demi Lovato are more than ready for a second week atop the adds report. Who else qualified for a medal? Let’s add ’em up:

“READY” FOR MORE: For the second week in a row, Smith and Lovato’s hit collaboration “I’m Ready” took the top prize on the adds report with 36 more stations in its second week. SAINt JHN‘s “Roses” followed closely in second place with 24 adds here.

There were a number of impacting releases this week, but no one song dominated on the log, likely due in part to a smaller number of stations actually reporting adds. The highest of them, Alec Benjamin‘s “Oh My God”, tied for third place with 20 stations. This will likely become his second charting song at the format, with “Let Me Down Slowly” spending two weeks at #50 last March. More new titles that entered to the top ten are below, including tunes from AJR, Fitz And The Tantrums and The Scotts.

Charting singles from Maren Morris, Powfu and Twenty One Pilots return to the top ten on the adds report this week.

We’ll see you next Tuesday for another adds recap. Stay safe out there.

MOST ADDED — THIS WEEK’S TOP TEN (THIRTEEN)
1. SAM SMITH & DEMI LOVATO, “I’m Ready” (Capitol)
2. SAINT JHN, “Roses” (Godd Complexx/HITCO)
3-T. ALEC BENJAMIN, “Oh My God” (Artist Partner/Atlantic)
3-T. MEGAN THEE STALLION, “Savage” (1501 Certified Ent./300 Ent.)

RADIO REPORT: What’s Popping At Top 40 Radio This Week (April 27-28, 2020)

It’s time once again to analyze the airwaves and find out if your favorite new releases will be lighting up your local station’s playlist this week. Which tunes will climb to the top and which ones will hit a stop? Here are four tracks impacting this week at the Top 40 format:

AJR, “Bang!” (S-Curve)
Album: TBA (2020)
Past T40 History: After “Dear Winter” barely reached #40 for a week in December, this might become the trio’s fifth top 40 entry.

ALEC BENJAMIN, “Oh My God” (Artist Partner/Atlantic)
Album: These Two Windows (2020)
Past T40 History: In March 2019, he scored his only chart single here with “Let Me Down Slowly”, which spent two weeks at #50.

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS, “I Just Wanna Shine” (Elektra/EMG)
Album: All The Feels (2019)
Past T40 History: The six-member band last appeared in the top 40 at the format in early 2017, when “HandClap” peaked at #28.

SURF MESA featuring EMILEE, “ILY (I Love You Baby)” (Astralwerks/Capitol)
Album: TBA (2020)
Past T40 History: Both acts are new to this format. The track interpolates Frankie Valli’s 1967 song “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”.

With a larger amount of shifting adds dates given the current pandemic, we’ll see what new titles head to the format on Monday.

RADIO ACTIVE — A Weekly Chart CHRonicle (April 26, 2020)

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. Ready for some more quarantunes and how they’re doing on the radio? Here’s what’s popping at the Top 40 format this week:

ANOTHER WEEKND INSIDE: As predicted, The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” holds at #1 for a third week on the Top 40 radio chart, while also remaining at #4 and #6 on the Rhythmic and Hot AC charts, respectively. This looks to be its last week on top, as a couple of top gainers from Camila Cabello and DaBaby (#2) and Doja Cat (#3) will be aiming for pop purr-fection next month.

Bouncing from 43-29 on the list, Sam Smith and Demi Lovato‘s “I’m Ready” gives the two performers their 14th and 16th top 40 singles, respectively. Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Savage” also bolts from 46-40, becoming her second top 40 entry at the format. The rapper previously charted with the Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign-assisted “Hot Girl Summer”, which reached #38 last October.

The new single from Tyga also marks the format debut of Curtis Roach, who land at #47 with “Bored In The House”. This track is another success story for the popular video app TikTok and quarantine-related releases, with Roach’s original clip going viral on the platform before catching Tyga’s attention. K-pop star Jackson Wang is also new to the top 50 with “100 Ways”, which checks in at #50. Wang was previously included on record label 88rising’s collaborative single “Walking”, which peaked at #37 in January.

Next week’s crop of charting releases could include emerging titles from JoJo and Sam Fischer, which are just below the top 50.

RECORD REWIND 2020: PGTC Picks, Week Seventeen

Sunday afternoon means it’s time for the Record Rewind, highlighting the top new tracks that you might’ve missed during the work week, all from my favorite small label and independent acts out there. If it’s on the site, it’s something that you need to check out!

Across the PGTC SoundCloud page and my playlists on Spotify, these stuck out as my favorite independent songs of the week…
_____

PICK OF THE WEEK: ONE
GRIFFIN OSKAR – “We Don’t Get High (Like We Used To)” (Spotify)
Previously on the Rewind: First appearance

Oskar previously appeared on the Rewind twice as one half of the duo The NGHBRS, though I also enjoyed his previous major label EP Hostage, which was released by Republic in 2017. The strong pop ballad about a lost relationship isn’t lost on our weekly report.

PICK OF THE WEEK: TWO
OSTON – “Shrug” (Spotify)
Previously on the Rewind: First appearance

The Los Angeles-based performer has been steadily putting out her own material and collaborations since 2018, while finding some very solid editorial support on Spotify in the process. Don’t shrug off this catchy track: it’s a quirky and quality bop for your playlist.

_____

For more great new music, these songs are worth a listen…
ALAINA CASTILLO – “Pass You By”
ELIO – “Body Language”
OVERSTREET – “Summertime”
SVRCINA – “Selfish”

Chart Notes:

• After reaching #1 last week with “Physical”, Dua Lipa is still holding onto the top spot… but with a different tune. “Break My Heart” makes a 4-1 move to become her fifth chart-topper to date and third of 2020, the most of any artist on my chart this year. Lipa is the first performer to replace themselves at #1 since 2006 and is the first woman to do so. Though its five-week run to the top spot isn’t a record, “Break My Heart” does match the speedy climbs of hits like Adele‘s “Hello” (2015) and Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” (2017), which held at #1 for seven and four weeks, respectively. In non-Dua Lipa news, Niall Horan‘s “Black And White” leads a batch of three debuts at #36. This is the fourth track to enter my chart from his recent album Flicker, one of which got to #1: 2019’s “Nice To Meet Ya”. “I Hope”, a recent #1 hit at the Country radio format by American Idol alum Gabby Barrett, enters at #39 thanks to a new version with Charlie Puth. Finally, at #40, Martin Garrix and Clinton Kane are also new to the chart with “Drown”. The collaboration ranks just below the top 50 at Top 40 radio.
