X Ambassadors’ “Renegades” Stays #1 at Alternative, Goes Top 40 at Hot AC

Despite suffering its first week-over-week spin loss, X Ambassadors’ “Renegades” retains its #1 position on Mediabase’s alternative airplay chart.

It also reaches the Top 40 at the hot adult contemporary format.

Its fourth straight weekly alternative radio victory comes thanks to its 3,022 tracking week spins. While that count trails last week’s total by 7, it maintains a distance of nearly 400 spins from the #2 song’s total.

twenty one pilots’ “Tear In My Heart,” which repeats as alt radio’s #2 track, received 2,636 plays during the June 28-July 4 tracking week.

Up four places, “Renegades” concurrently rises to #37 on the Mediabase Hot AC airplay chart. It received 541 plays (+214).

Meghan Trainor’s “Like I’m Gonna Lose You (featuring John Legend)” also reaches the Hot AC format’s Top 40 this week. Up five places, it claims #38 on the strength of its 439 weekly plays (+163).
