Consistent with Headline Planet’s projection, X Ambassadors’ “Renegades” reaches the #1 spot on this week’s Mediabase hot adult contemporary airplay chart.
Up two places, “Renegades” earns #1 courtesy the ~6,579 plays it received during the October 4-10 tracking week (+292).
Hot AC is the third format at which “Renegades” has reached #1. It previously topped the alternative and Triple A airplay charts.
The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” which earned #1 on last week’s Hot AC chart, slips to #2 this week. It received ~6,121 weekly plays (-413).
R. City’s “Locked Away (featuring Adam Levine)” is #3 at Hot AC. Up one place, it received ~6,071 tracking week spins (+499). It concurrently earns a second week at #1 on the pop chart.
Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” (#4, +2 | ~6,029, +983) and Ed Sheeran’s “Photograph” (#5, -3 | ~6,024, -385) complete Hot AC’s Top 5.
“Wildest Dreams” is making its first appearance in the Top 5. Its week-over-week spin gain of 983, meanwhile, represents the Hot AC format’s greatest this week.
