Selena Gomez’ “Good For You” Debuts as Pop Radio’s #22 Song

Launched with opening day support from the iHeartRadio “World Premiere” program and spun enthusiastically for the balance of its first week, Selena Gomez’ “Good For You (featuring A$AP Rocky)” debuts at #22 on the Mediabase pop radio airplay chart.

The song, which received hourly iHeart airplay on its opening day, earned a total of 3,931 pop spins during the June 21-27 tracking week. That earns it the #22 spot on the official chart.

While The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” which also received an iHeart boost, debuted one place higher two weeks ago, “Good For You” technically received more first week airplay. “Can’t Feel My Face,” which launched mid-day on 6/8, commanded 3,782 spins during the 6/7-6/13 tracking week. Benefiting from the fact that it debuted right at midnight on 6/22, “Good For You” received an extra 149 spins in its first tracking week.

Less ambiguous is the fact that “Good For You” got off to a better start than Zedd’s “I Want You To Know,” which featured vocals from Gomez. The Zedd song, which was also launched with hourly iHeart support, opened at #23 with 3,287 spins during the February 22-28 tracking week.
