Los Angeles’ powerhouse pop station 102.7 KIIS FM officially picked up five singles this week.
Formally added to the influential station’s playlist were Travi$ Scott’s “Antidote,” Selena Gomez’ “Hands To Myself,” Justin Timberlake’s “Drink You Away,” David Guetta’s “Bang My Head (featuring Sia),” and Twenty One Pilots’ “Stressed Out.”
A hit at the rhythmic and urban formats, “Antidote” has begun to make a run at pop radio.
Not yet formally launched at radio, “Hands To Myself” appears on Selena Gomez’ recently released album “Revival.” It received attention last week thanks to a Victoria’s Secret lip sync video, a video teaser/Beats Pill commercial, and a performance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
“Drink You Away,” which appeared on Timberlake’s 2013 album “The 20/20 Experience Part 2,” received a new life thanks to Timberlake’s show-stealing performance with Chris Stapleton at the November CMA Awards.
“Bang My Head” recently cracked the Top 50 at pop radio, while alternative crossover “Stressed Out” is officially inside the Top 20.
