After a hiatus in observance of the holiday season’s impact on airplay, Mediabase has finally issued an official chart update.
With it comes very favorable news for Fifth Harmony’s “Sledgehammer.”
The recipient of 3,628 spins during the December 28-January 3 tracking period, “Sledgehammer” officially registers as the #20 song on Mediabase’s pop radio airplay chart.
“Sledgehammer,” which recently became the group’s first top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, is now its first top 20 hit on the Mediabase pop radio airplay chart.
Fifth Harmony’s previous pop radio peak came courtesy debut single “Miss Movin’ On,” which went as high as #25 on the listing.
“Bo$$,” the direct predecessor to “Sledgehammer,” never went higher than #36 on an official Mediabase listing.
