Thanks to monstrous airplay gains at both formats, Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” storms the Top 20 at pop and hot adult contemporary radio.
It narrowly misses the Top 20 at adult contemporary.
Spun ~5,277 times during the August 30-September 5 tracking week, “Wildest Dreams” rises twelve places to #19 on this week’s Mediabase pop chart.
This week’s spin count tops last week by a whopping 3,328 plays. Only Justin Bieber’s #18 “What Do You Mean?” (+3,341) enjoyed a bigger week-over-week spin gain.
“Wildest Dreams” concurrently received ~2,026 weekly hot adult contemporary plays. That facilitates a ten position rise to #19 on this week’s Mediabase Hot AC chart.
This week’s Hot AC spin count bests last week’s mark by a format-leading 1,295.
Swift’s fifth “1989” single also received 268 weekly adult contemporary plays (+242). That allows the song, which was #51 on last week’s chart, to reach #21 on this week’s Mediabase AC listing.
Its week-over-week spin gain of 242 is the greatest at the AC format.
