Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” Becomes One of Pop’s 10 Most Played Songs

Rising at all relevant formats, Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood (featuring Kendrick Lamar)” is making its biggest airplay gains at pop radio.

That rate of increase puts “Bad Blood” on track to score a top ten position on this week’s official Mediabase airplay chart.

Spun 7,782 times, “Bad Blood” was the pop format’s tenth-most played song within the May 22-28 window. If it can maintain its top ten status through Sunday — and its current pace makes that all but a certainty — it will officially go top ten on the Mediabase pop chart.

“Bad Blood” will thus become the fourth straight top ten pop hit from Swift’s “1989.”

And, at this point, it is giving every reason to believe it will follow “Shake it Off,” “Blank Space” and “Style” in becoming her fourth straight #1 pop radio hit.
