As his “Sorry” prepares to claim #1 on Mediabase’s weekly pop chart, follow-up single “Love Yourself” is set to score a Top 20 position.
The third “Purpose” single received 4,485 plays during the first six days of the December 13-19 tracking week. Up 117.6% from the same time last week, the count positions “Love Yourself” at #20 on Mediabase’s building pop radio airplay chart.
Given its rapid rate of gain — and absence of an imminent challenge — “Love Yourself” will surely remain in the Top 20 through the close of weekly tracking.
In observance of the holiday season, Mediabase does not go through the full publication protocol for the December 13-19 and December 20-26 tracking weeks. The weekly positions do, however, count, which means “Love Yourself” will indeed become a Top 20 pop single this week.
