Foo Fighters’ “Outside” once again ranks as the format’s second-most-added song. It was added by 12 monitored stations this week.

Of Monsters and Men’s “Empire” earns the third-most-added distinction on the strength of its 9 pickups. Vance Joy’s “Fire and the Flood” (6 adds) and Muse’s “Mercy” (5 adds) follow as fourth- and fifth-most-added, respectively.
