Taylor Swift [CBS]
At pop radio, Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood (featuring Kendrick Lamar)” just set the Mediabase record for most plays in a single week.
At rhythmic radio, “Bad Blood” establishes a new, Taylor Swift-centric milestone.
As of this weekend, it is officially the first Top 10 rhythmic hit of her career.
Spun 3,577 times during the July 5-11 tracking week (+281), “Bad Blood” rises two places to #10 on the chart.
In addition to claiming the #10 spot at rhythmic radio, “Bad Blood” holds #1 at pop and hot adult contemporary radio. Currently #12, the multi-format smash should soon enter the Top 10 at adult contemporary.
— While the rhythmic achievement is a special one for Taylor Swift, “Bad Blood” is not the week’s highest-charting addition to the Top 10. Silento’s “Watch Me,” which received 3,734 weekly spins (+506), rises four places to a new peak of #9.
