Taylor Swift’s “New Romantics,” which ranked as the week’s most added song at Hot AC radio, claims the same honor at pop radio.
The seventh single from Swift’s “1989” earned adds from 76 Mediabase-monitored stations in conjunction with this week’s official impact. The count easily positions “New Romantics” atop the weekly pop add board.

Picked up by 32 stations, James Bay’s “Let It Go” ranks as third-most added. Respective add counts of 30 and 27 earn DJ Snake’s “Middle (featuring Bipolar Sunshine)” and Zendaya’s “Something New (featuring Chris Brown)” fourth and fifth-most added.
