Three songs are poised to reach the Top 10 on this week’s edition of the Mediabase pop radio airplay chart.

Leading the charge is Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” which received 6,693 pop plays during the first five days of the October 18-24 tracking week. Up a whopping 30.2% from the previous week’s mark, the count positions “Bling” at #8 on the Mediabase building chart.

The song will remain comfortably within the Top 10 as the tracking week heads for its conclusion.

X Ambassadors’ “Renegades” and Ellie Goulding’s “On My Mind” are also set to reach the Top 10 this week. The 6,411 spins (+9.6%) “Renegades” received during the tracking week’s first five days allow for a #9 position on the building chart; “On My Mind” is currently #10 on building courtesy its 6,258 plays (+13.1%).

Neither song faces an emerging threat from beneath the Top 10. Both, therefore, should be able to retain their Top 10 positions over the next two days.
