Already a Top 30 hit on the Mediabase airplay chart, A Great Big World’s “Hold Each Other (featuring Futuristic)” continues to garner new support from hot adult contemporary programmers.
For the third straight week, the song earns the format’s most-added distinction.
The song, which is also beginning to make waves at pop, received weekly adds from 18 monitored Hot AC stations. That narrowly gives it the edge over R. City’s similarly-soaring “Locked Away (featuring Adam Levine).”
The week’s second-most-added song, “Locked Away” scored 17 monitored adds.
Each added by 9 stations, Duran Duran’s “Pressure Off (featuring Janelle Monae),” Echosmith’s “Let’s “Love” and Leona Lewis’ “Thunder” tie for third-most-added.
Other notable Hot AC options: One Direction’s “Drag Me Down” (8 adds, 6th-most, tie), Shawn Mendes’ “Stitches” (8 adds, 6th, tie), X Ambassadors’ “Renegades” (7 adds, 8th), Elle King’s “Ex’s and Oh’s” (6 adds, 9th), Demi Lovato’s “Cool for the Summer” (5 adds, 10th, tie), Imagine Dragons’ “Shots” (5 adds, 10th, tie), Romans’ “Uh Huh” (5 adds, 10th, tie).
