Singer-songwriter The Weeknd has spent the past year becoming a major force at pop radio. His “Earned It” and “Can’t Feel My Face” reached #1 on the Mediabase pop airplay chart, while “The Hills” went as high as #2.
The Weeknd may have another hit in new single “In The Night,” which takes this week’s most-added honor at pop radio.
The latest “Beauty Behind The Madness” single earned adds from 37 Mediabase-monitored stations this week. The count positions “In the Night” atop all other songs on the Mediabase pop radio add board.
twenty one pilots’ alternative crossover “Stressed Out,” the next-most-added song, follows with 27 weekly pickups. Ariana Grande’s “Focus” and Fall Out Boy’s “Irresistible (featuring Demi Lovato)” tie for third on the strength of 25 adds each.
Each picked up by 20 Mediabase-monitored pop stations, One Direction’s “Perfect” and Tori Kelly’s “Hollow” tie for fifth-most-added.
