Chart Notes:

• Dua Lipa remains at #1 on my personal chart for the second week with “Don’t Start Now”, as the top three shifts a bit thanks to growing songs from JP Saxe and Julia Michaels (up 4-2) and Harry Styles (up 5-3), both of which are vying to become the next chart-topper. However, a pack of four entries at the bottom of the list takes up most of the excitement this week. With her first top 40 song since 2007, Mandy Moore‘s “Save A Little For Yourself” is the highest of the debuts, landing at #37. It’s the radio single from the actress and singer’s forthcoming set Silver Landings, out March 6. It impacts at the Triple A radio format in mid-February. Kaleo‘s “I Want More” follows Moore at #38, which heads for adds at that format and at Alternative radio during the last week of January. The new songs from The 1975 and Louis Tomlinson also check in at #39 and #40, respectively, with “Me & You Together Song” and “Walls” getting serviced to radio several days back. The latter performer is two weeks away from the release of his debut album, which is also titled Walls. The quartet’s Notes On A Conditional Form lands on April 24.

Chart Notes:

• As 2019 turns to 2020, Coldplay‘s “Orphans” remains at #1 for the third week on my personal chart, though its run will likely be coming to an end next week. New songs from future tourmates Lewis Capaldi and Niall Horan tie for the Biggest Mover, both up six notches. Owing to a much smaller release schedule at this time of year, there are no new entries in the top 40. However, there’s always next week!

ADD LIB — Brace For (CHR) Impact (December 10, 2019)

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: Harry Styles is adored by his many fans and Top 40 programmers alike, as his latest solo single has a big win on the last report of the year. Let’s add ’em up:

A STYLISH END TO THE YEAR: It’s the final impact date for the year and the decade, so some adoration for the format seems like a good way to head out with a bang. Harry Styles is back with the first radio single from his upcoming album Fine Line: “Adore You” blasts onto the list with a massive 169 adds on impact. Just in case you were wondering, “Sign Of The Times” started with 127 adds in its first week in April 2017, which was previously his largest one-week total as a solo artist. “Adore” made the top 40 by last Sunday’s published update, so expect a significant jump up the chart by this weekend.

Billie Eilish‘s “Everything I Wanted” and Ant Saunders‘s “Yellow Hearts” also impacted at the format today, though both songs have already seen some solid action here in the last month. Eilish finished in second place with 56 stations, while Saunders tied for fifth with 16.

Established hits by Arizona Zervas, Blackbear and The Weeknd are among those returning to the top ten on the report.

RADIO ACTIVE — A Weekly Chart CHRonicle (November 24, 2019)

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. “Good” times are ahead on the pop survey… are you ready for the latest top bops in the radio universe? Here’s what’s popping at the Top 40 format this week:

“GOOD” STUFF: It’s been a big breakout year for Lizzo and it just keeps getting better. This week, she earns her second #1 single on the Top 40 survey with “Good As Hell”, up 2-1. The multi-format hit also jumps from 8-7 and 18-15 on the Rhythmic and Hot AC radio lists, respectively. With a slow holiday week on the horizon, it should easily earn a second week at the top.

From TikTok to top 40 success, newcomer Arizona Zervas soars onto the survey all the way up at #33 with “Roxanne”, which also jumps right into the top 30 on the Rhythmic list. Another single that’s also been developing on the video app is “Make You Mine” by the new trio PUBLIC, which makes its entry with a move from 41-38. Zedd and Kehlani‘s “Good Thing” jumps from 50-39 on the chart, giving the two performers their 15th and fourth top 40 entries, respectively. Finally, up from 46-40, Louis Tomlinson takes “We Made It” into the region, earning him his third solo top 40 hit outside of One Direction.

Billie Eilish, who already appears in the top 20 with “All The Good Girls Go To Hell”, is in at #43 with “Everything I Wanted”. The tune was released as a one-off single last week and does not appear on her current studio album. “Checklist” checks in at #47 for the first collaboration by MAX and Chromeo, as Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello and Cardi B are headed “South Of The Border” and into the #48 position. The latter collaboration impacts at the format in early December. It also enters the Hot AC chart at #49.

Have an amazing Thanksgiving from PGTC!
