Like the weekly pop radio add board, the official Mediabase pop radio airplay chart brings good news for Ellie Goulding.
In addition to confirming a #31 position for her new “Love Me Like You Do,” the chart reveals that her latest collaboration with Calvin Harris is now a top 25 song.
Mediabase lists Calvin Harris’ “Outside (featuring Ellie Goulding)” as its #23 pop song this week. Up seven places on the chart, the track commanded 2,710 spins between January 11 and 17.
— “Outside” is not the only top 25 addition this week. Following closely behind–and moving in a way that suggests it will imminently leapfrog the Harris track–is Taylor Swift’s third “1989” single “Style.”
“Style,” which entered the top 40 at #38 last week, flies to #24 on this week’s edition of the pop radio listing. It received 2,686 plays during the aforementioned tracking period. That count is the result of a spin increase of 1,754; Mediabase calls that the week’s third-greatest airplay gain.
— Usher’s “I Don’t Mind (featuring Juicy J)” also reaches the top 25 this week. It soars to #25 on the strength of its 580 weekly spins.
