According to Mediabase, the follow-up to #1 hit “Black Widow (featuring Rita Ora)” landed at a whopping 107 monitored pop stations in conjunction with its official impact. That total easily ranks as the format’s greatest this week.
Already a top 40 hit on Mediabase’s rolling pop radio airplay chart, “Beg for It” is in great position to solidify Azalea’s status as a pop radio juggernaut.

Meghan Trainor’s “Lips are Movin,” last week’s most-added track, claims third with 30 pickups this week. Down in quantity, the list of adds is certainly not light on quality. Big market stations like New York’s Z100 are now officially in on the follow-up to “All About That Bass.”
