Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” is Again Pop’s Most Added; Rihanna Follows

Wiz Charlie [NBC]

For the third straight week, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s smash “See You Again” ranks as pop radio’s most added song.

According to Mediabase, the song earns the distinction thanks to pickups from 61 monitored pop stations. Easily the week’s best at pop radio, the count also tops the song’s previous two weekly totals.

“See You Again,” which is cut from the “Furious 7” soundtrack, topped last week’s add board with 42 pickups. Two weeks ago, it led with 40 adds.

The song’s latest most added honor comes as it continues to erupt on the pop airplay chart. Currently pop’s 17th-most played song, “See You Again” boasts the format’s greatest week-over-week airplay gain (+3,149).

While repetition exits atop the add board, a new song flies into the second-most added position. Rihanna’s “American Oxygen,” that song, scored adds from 34 monitored pop stations this week.

Skrillex & Diplo’s “Where Are U Now (featuring Justin Bieber)” follows with 28 adds, while Pitbull’s “Fun (featuring Chris Brown)” earns 4th-most added on the strength of its 27 pickups.

Fifth-most added this week, Years & Years’ buzzworthy “King” won support from 23 stations in conjunction with its official impact.

Other popular options at pop radio: Calvin Harris’ “Pray to God (featuring HAIM)” (22 adds, 6th-most added), Meghan Trainor’s “Dear Future Husband” (21 adds, 7th-most added), Fifth Harmony’s “Worth It (featuring Kid Ink)” (20 adds, 8th-most added, tie), Echosmith’s “Bright” (20 adds, 8th-most added, tie) and Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen” (19 adds, 10th-most added).
