The second single from Selena Gomez’ “Same Old Love” is thus far resonating well with pop radio listeners.
Per the most recent Mediabase/CMM national callout report, “Same Old Love” holds a positive reaction from 68.8% of listeners, a negative reaction from 13.7% of listeners, and thus a net positive score of 55.1%.
Of the 32 active pop songs measured in this week’s report, “Same Old Love” boasts the greatest net positive score. Its negative score is pop radio’s lowest, while its positive score is the format’s fourth-greatest.
The net positive score exceeds the highest mark ever achieved by previous single “Good For You,” which spent three weeks at #1 on the pop chart and ranks as Gomez’ highest-charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Same Old Love” additionally holds a 25.4% “favorite” score. While not as comparatively strong as the song’s positive, negative and net positive scores, it still ranks above the median at #12.
That score, moreover, may increase as “Same Old Love” gains more familiarity at the format. Its familiarity level is currently 77.3% (18th).
By the same token, it is also possible the aforementioned positive, negative and net positive scores will weaken as familiarity grows.
