They will need to wait until Sunday evening for to be officially crowned Top 40 pop hits, but the new OneRepublic and Fifth Harmony singles are now in that group from a rolling standpoint.
According to Mediabase, OneRepublic’s “I Lived” and Fifth Harmony’s “Sledgehammer” were among pop’s forty-most-played songs during the period between November 12 and 18.
“I Lived,” which scored 1,137 spins, was the #35 pop song during that timeframe. A fast riser, its week-over-week spin gain of 909 ranks as the pop format’s 8th-largest overall and most significant for a song currently outside of the Top 30.
5H’s follow-up to “BO$$,” meanwhile, grabbed the #40 position on the strength of 1,010 weekly spins. Its week-over-week gain of 763 is also impressive for the format.
Both were among pop radio’s five-most-added songs this week.
