RADIO ACTIVE — A Weekly Chart CHRonicle (August 8, 2021)

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. For the songs that will (hopefully) last a lifetime, here’s what’s popping at the format this week:

THREE “GOOD” WEEKS: For the third consecutive week, Olivia Rodrigo remains at #1 on the Top 40 chart with “Good 4 U”, while her prior single “Déjà Vu” advances from 3-2. Rodrigo isn’t the first performer to hold down the top two positions at the format, though this kind of achievement is fairly rare so early into an artist’s charting days. You can expect her to hold down the #1 and #2 spots again next week. Will it be in the same order? Stay tuned.

Another five new songs enter the top 40 this week, with Silk Sonic coming in the highest with “Skate”. The song glides from 46-27, marking the second top 40 song at the format for the duo and Anderson .Paak, as well as the 23rd for Bruno Mars. Entering way up at #29, “Take My Breath” is the 19th top 40 hit for The Weeknd, whose new single is also starting out well at the Hot AC and Rhythmic radio formats. Up from 42-37, Dixie (who charted a year ago as Dixie D’Amelio) is in with the Rubi Rose-assisted “Psycho”. It’s the second top 40 entry for the former and the first for latter. Lifting from 41-39, Alessia Cara returns with “Sweet Dream”, now her 11th top 40 hit to date. Finally, the new Swedish House Mafia, Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake collaboration moves from 45-40. “Lifetime” is the third top 40 hit for the trio (and first since 2013), the eighth for $ign and the first for Shake.

YouTube personality turned singer Conan Gray debuts at #42 with “People Watching”, as Elle King and Miranda Lambert enter at #46 with “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”, a collaboration that’s also currently charting at the Country and Hot AC radio formats. Khalid comes in at #49 with “New Normal”, while Big Red Machine and Taylor Swift barely sneak in at #50 with “Renegade”.

Chart Notes:

• Coldplay scores their ninth #1 single on my personal chart with “Higher Power”, advancing to the top after three weeks in the runner-up position. The group is back in a tie with Taylor Swift for the most #1 songs ever in my chart’s history. However, Dua Lipa might make that a three-way tie with “Love Again”, as her latest single soars from 25-18 to become the Biggest Mover of the week. Four tracks are new to the countdown, three of which are from artists who have claimed at least two #1 hits to date: Ed Sheeran, who lands way up at #28 with “Bad Habits”, followed by Bastille at #33 with “Distorted Light Beam” and Maroon 5 at #37 with “Lost”. The fourth and final entry comes from the duo Milky Chance, who take advantage of their chance at a debut with “Colorado” at #40.

Chart Notes:

• My personal chart is still intoxicated by Elle King and Miranda Lambert with “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”, which remains at #1 for its fifth (and perhaps final) week. A steady stream of bulleted titles are just behind it, including Alternative chart crossovers from Coldplay at #2 and Imagine Dragons at #3. After some higher debuts on last week’s survey, Lorde and Tones And I are tied for this week’s Biggest Mover, as “Solar Power” (36-27) and “Cloudy Day” (35-26) advance nine notches on the list. The two debuts in the countdown are also by women: newcomer Holly Humberstone is new at #39 with “The Walls Are Way Too Thin”, while Olivia Rodrigo starts at #40 with “Brutal”, the fourth single to rank from her recent chart-topping album Sour.

Chart Notes:

• “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” holds down the top spot on my personal chart for a fourth week, as Elle King and Miranda Lambert continue their reign for another update. Look for their song to perform well at the Country radio format soon, where it officially heads for adds on Monday. John Mayer had last week’s top debut with “Last Train Home”, which now rolls up the track from 39-30 this week, making it the Biggest Mover on the chart. Four new tunes are on the list this week: Tones And I leads the way with “Cloudy Day”, which lands at #35. Right behind her, Lorde returns with “Solar Power”, which brightens the #36 spot. For hits and health-related needs, Dayglow has the perfect pop prescription with his “Medicine”, debuting at #37. Lastly, Wrabel is back on the chart with “Nothing But The Love”, which is loved with an entry at #39.

Chart Notes:

• For the second week in a row, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” leads my personal chart, as Elle King and Miranda Lambert aim for a long stay at the summit for the summer. Duran Duran scores this week’s Biggest Mover with “Invisible”, which debuted at #36 last week and now moves to #27. A pair of new songs jump into the pop pool this week, with Noah Kahan splashing at #38 with “Part Of Me”. The title recently impacted at the Triple A format and is close to the top 50. Meanwhile, Ben Rector rides a wave into the #39 spot with the Steve Winwood-assisted “Range Rover”. The legendary featured artist, who plays the organ on this song, scored his first top 40 entry on my chart. He previously bubbled under the list with two singles from his 2008 album Nine Lives.

Coldplay easily earns the Biggest Mover title this week with “Higher Power”, advancing from its high debut at #24 last week and into the #15 spot. Chart mainstay Katy Perry shocks the survey with “Electric”, which charges in at #33 as the Highest Debut in the countdown. It’s the most recent tune to be released in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo‘s third top 40 hit from the Sour album enters sweetly at #38. “Good 4 U” is currently receiving unsolicited airplay at the Top 40 radio format.

Chart Notes:

• The new duo of Silk Sonic (a collaborative project from Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) opens the door and peeks inside to find their very first #1 hit on my personal chart in “Leave The Door Open”, which rises from 2-1. Last month, the tune also topped the Billboard Hot 100 survey. A full studio album from the two performers is expected to be released later this year. Two recent entries from Ben Platt and Mimi Webb are tied for the Biggest Mover, up seven spots. A couple of new tunes also check into the countdown from Billie Eilish and Alec Benjamin: “Your Power” and “The Way You Felt” are off to a nice start at #35 and #37, respectively.
