Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” Soars to #29 at Hot AC Radio, #31 at Pop

Thanks to the format’s greatest weekly airplay gain, Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” rockets into the Top 30 on this week’s Mediabase hot adult contemporary airplay chart.

It lands right outside the Top 30 on Mediabase’s pop airplay chart.

The song garnered ~731 Hot AC plays during the August 23-29 tracking week. Up a whopping 683 from the previous week’s (pre-official release) spin count, the tally positions “Wildest Dreams” at #29 on this week’s Mediabase Hot AC chart.

It was last week’s #74 Hot AC song.

“Wildest Dreams,” meanwhile, received ~1,949 pop radio spins during the official tracking week. The count, which bests last week’s pre-release total by an immense 1,944, earns Swift’s single the #31 spot on this week’s pop airplay chart.

It was last week’s #338 pop song.

“Wildest Dreams” is the fifth single from Swift’s “1989.” Previous singles “Shake it Off,” “Blank Space,” “Style” and “Bad Blood” all reached #1 at the Hot AC and pop formats.

The “Wildest Dreams” video was due to premiere during Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards pre-show.
