Armed with the support of the iHeartRadio “On the Verge” program, Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Myself” debut single predictably–and convincingly–ranks as pop radio’s most-added song.
According to Mediabase, the actress-singer’s debut single scored pickups from 72 monitored pop stations in conjunction with this week’s official impact. While several other songs won substantial weekly support, none fared as well as “Love Myself.”
The aforementioned “On the Verge” program provides “Love Myself” with guaranteed airplay from iHeartMedia’s network of pop stations. Powerhouse iHeart stations like New York’s Z100 and Los Angeles’ 102.7 KIIS, naturally, appear on the list of 72 weekly supporters.
Added by 44 stations, One Direction’s “Drag Me Down” follows as pop’s second-most-added song. Robin Thicke’s new “Back Together (featuring Nicki Minaj)” earns third-most-added courtesy its 40 pickups, while Elle King’s “Ex’s and Oh’s” (28 adds) and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Growing Up (featuring Ed Sheeran)” (26 adds) rank as fourth- and fifth-most-added, respectively.
Other notable pop options: R. City’s “Locked Away (featuring Adam Levine)” (20 adds, 6th-most-added), A Great Big World’s “Hold Each Other (featuring Futuristic)” (19 adds, 7th), Calvin Harris + Disciples’ “How Deep Is Your Love” (18 adds, 8th), Disclosure’s “Omen (featuring Sam Smith)” (17 adds, 9th, tie) and The Weeknd’s “The Hills” (17 adds, 9th, tie).
