Last week, The Weeknd’s new “Can’t Feel My Face” landed just outside of pop radio’s Top 20.
This week, it crosses that threshold. Living up to lofty expectations, the singer-songwriter’s new single reaches #17 on the Mediabase pop airplay chart after just two weeks of availability.
Up four places from last week’s position, the song received ~5,841 spins during the June 14-20 tracking week. Its week-over-week gain of 2,056 was the pop format’s greatest.
While last week’s impressive spin count was bolstered by promotional first-day airplay from iHeartMedia, this week’s total is of the organic variety. The journey to the top is a long one, but the song’s second week growth bodes well for its prospect of getting there.
— Not simply a pop hit, “Can’t Feel My Face” is also on the move at rhythmic. The song reaches the same #17 position on the Mediabase rhythmic chart. Up eight places from last week’s position, “Face” received ~2,225 weekly spins (+1,168).
— “Can’t Feel My Face” is the only new member of pop radio’s Top 20. Silento’s “Watch Me,” meanwhile, enters that portion of the rhythmic airplay chart. It rises three places to #18 this week.
