Update: Nick Jonas’ “Jealous” officially claims the top spot on this week’s Mediabase pop airplay chart. Its #1 position is owed to the 16,123 spins it received during the January 11-17 tracking period.
Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space,” which previously held the leadership position, slips to #2 this week. It commanded 15,986 weekly spins.

Two weeks ago, Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk (featuring Bruno Mars)” seized the Hot 100 throne from Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space.”
Sunday evening, Nick Jonas’ “Jealous” will officially do the same on Mediabase’s pop radio airplay chart.
Originally boosted by the iHeartRadio “On the Verge” program, Jonas’ “Jealous” has demonstrated staying power, and it now ranks as the format’s most-played song.
“Jealous” commanded approximately 16,112 spins during the January 11-17 tracking period. Swift’s “Blank Space,” which officially became the format’s #1 song on December 14, 2014, claims #2 courtesy its approximate tracking week spin count of 15,975.
Set to be released Sunday evening, the final version of Mediabase’s weekly airplay chart will likely feature slightly different spin counts for the two songs. It will not, however, feature a different order at the top — Nick Jonas’ “Jealous” is the number one song on pop radio.
Swift’s song will, however, retain its throne on the hot adult contemporary airplay chart. “Jealous” is currently #16 on that listing.
