“Photograph,” the follow-up to Ed Sheeran’s multi-format smash “Thinking Out Loud” is beginning to make a run of its own.
Up seven places, the song reaches a new peak of #21 on this week’s Mediabase hot adult contemporary airplay chart. It meanwhile rockets twelve places to a new high of #34 on the Mediabase pop chart and sixty two spots to a peak of #39 on the adult contemporary listing.
The aforementioned Hot AC position comes courtesy its 1,478 tracking week spins. That count bests last week’s total by a healthy 677. Only Taylor Swift’s #18 “Bad Blood” (+1,477), Maroon 5’s #23 “This Summer’s Gonna Hurt” (+1,133) and Wiz Khalifa’s #15 “See You Again (featuring Charlie Puth)” (+824) enjoyed greater weekly gains.
At pop, the song’s first Top 40 appearance is owed to the 1,976 spins it received during the May 17-23 tracking week.
Its new adult contemporary peak is attributable to its 45 tracking week spins.
“Thinking Out Loud” hit #1 at all three formats. It still reigns over the AC listing.
