Update: Chart cleanup, including the de-listing of recurrent tracks “Rather Be” and “Boom Clap,” allows Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” and Iggy Azalea’s “Beg for It” to land even higher on Mediabase’s official airplay chart.
On the strength of 5,469 official spins, “Blank Space” grabs the #16 slot. Iggy Azalea’s “Beg for It,” meanwhile, moves up to #18 thanks to its 4,418 spins during the November 2-8 tracking period.
Alesso’s “Heroes (we could be – featuring Tove lo)” also slides into the Top 20 this week. It claims #20 with 4,204 weekly spins.

Azalea’s “Beg,” meanwhile, goes at least as high as #20 this week. Its weekly spin count clocks in at 4,415, which represents a week-over-week gain of 1,922.
