After rocketing into pop radio’s rolling Top 40 on the strength of ample Monday airplay, “Bad Blood” leverages extensive Tuesday airplay to reach the rolling Top 30.
According to Mediabase, “Bad Blood” received an additional 756 spins on Tuesday. In bringing the song’s weekly count to 2,711, the strong Tuesday sends Swift’s new single to the #28 spot on Mediabase’s rolling airplay chart.
Considering the overwhelming majority of its spins were concentrated over Monday and Tuesday, the fact that it ranks within the weekly Top 30 is immensely impressive.
Expected to continue surging this week, “Bad Blood” will place very highly on Sunday’s official edition of the Mediabase pop chart.
— “Bad Blood” also appears inside the Top 30 at hot adult contemporary radio. Ranked #30 on Mediabase’s rolling Hot AC chart, the song received 784 spins over the trailing seven days.
— Because many of its spins are coming from high-profile stations, “Bad Blood” ranks even more favorably from an audience standpoint. It possesses the week’s #19 pop audience (22.482 million impressions) and #24 Hot AC audience (6.051 million).
