Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Adele’s “Hello” both received monstrous add counts in conjunction with their official pop radio impacts.
“Sorry” received a greater number of adds — and thus ranks as this week’s most-added song at pop radio.
The follow-up to Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” won adds from 140 Mediabase-monitored pop stations this week. Adele’s lead “25” single earned pickups from 132 such stations; it takes second-most-added.
Indicative of colossal support, the adds counts are among the best ever reported by the Mediabase pop panel.
In their own league on the weekly pop radio add board, “Sorry” and “Hello” were not the only songs to receive ample support.
Tied for third-most-added, Gwen Stefani’s “Used To Love You” and One Direction’s “Perfect” both received 55 Mediabase-monitored pickups. They too formally impacted the format this week.
Added by 18 stations each, 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Hey Everybody!” and Tove Lo’s “Moments” tie for fifth-most-added.
Other notable weekly pop options: Charlie Puth’s “One Call Away” (17 adds, 7th, tie), Fetty Wap’s “679” (17 adds, 7th, tie), Meghan Trainor’s “Like I’m Gonna Lose You (featuring John Legend)” (17 adds, 7th, tie), Daya’s “Hide Away” (16 adds, 10th).
