Mediabase’s updated weekly airplay report is now available, and it confirms Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap” is one of the Top 25 songs on pop radio.

The revised version of the chart, which purges some aging, declining songs from the calculation, lists the singer-songwriter’s breakthrough solo effort as the format’s 25th-most-played song for the week ending June 28.

The song garnered 2,675 weekly spins on the pop format, which represents a week-to-week gain of 1,362. Only MAGIC!’s #5 “Rude” (+1,917), Maroon 5’s #15 “Maps” (+1,869), Nico and Vinz’ #3 “Am I Wrong” (1,833), Ariana Grande’s #1 “Problem (featuring Iggy Azalea)” (+1,370) and Sam Smith’s #8 “Stay With Me” (+1,364) enjoyed larger gains over the measured period.

Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap,” which has ranked as the format’s second-most-added song for two consecutive weeks, scored 15.96 million impressions for the week ending June 28.

Other noteworthy weekly movers:

— Maroon 5’s “Maps” rises to #15.

— Displaced by Demi Lovato’s “Really Don’t Care (featuring Cher Lloyd)” on Sunday morning’s rolling chart, KONGOS’ “Come With Me Now” jumps back into the Top 20 at #19. The Demi Lovato track rises to #18. Jennifer Lopez’ “First Love” also reclaims a Top 20 spot at #20.

Echosmith’s “Cool Kids” improves to #38, while The Madden Brothers’ “We Are Done” (#39) and Avicii’s “Addicted to You” (#40) debut in the Top 40. The latter song features uncredited vocals from Audra Mae.
