George Ezra, whose previous single “Budapest” performed admirably at the hot adult contemporary format, is now beginning to make a run with “Blame It On Me.”
This week, that run produces a Top 60 position.
Spun 137 times during the August 16-22 tracking week (+91), “Blame It” ranks as the Mediabase Hot AC panel’s #53 song. It was ranked at #78 following the previous tracking week.
Beck’s #2-peaking alternative hit “Dreams” also enters Hot AC’s Top 60 this week. It rises sixteen places to #56 on the strength of its 110 weekly spins (+54).
Jamie Lawson’s “Wasn’t Expecting That,” which is the format’s new iHeartRadio “On the Verge” song, enters the Top 60 at #59. The song, which was #106 last week, scored 88 weekly plays (+76).
— While not new to the Top 60, The Rua’s “Fight For What’s Right” (#58, +6) and Maroon 5’s “Feelings” (#60, +7) re-enter this week.
