Taylor Swift’s “New Romantics,” which was added by 26 Mediabase-monitored hot adult contemporary radio stations in conjunction with last week’s impact, received an even greater showing of support this week.
That impressive showing of support and the absence of high-profile new releases combined to earn the song a second week atop Hot AC’s add board.
“New Romantics” received adds from a format-leading 39 Mediabase-monitored Hot AC stations.
The count nearly doubles that of Gwen Stefani’s “Make Me Like You,” which repeats as runner-up thanks to a (still impressive) weekly add count of 20.
Ellie Goulding’s “Something In The Way You Move” follows in third with 19 adds, while Elle King’s “Ex’s And Oh’s” (16 adds) and Vance Joy’s “Fire And The Flood” (14 adds) rank as fourth- and fifth-most added, respectively.
This week’s other notable Hot AC options: American Authors’ “Pride” (12 adds, 6th), Shawn Hook’s “Sound Of Your Heart” (11 adds, 7th), Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill In Ibiza” (10 adds, 8th, tie), X Ambassadors’ “Unsteady” (10 adds, 8th, tie), and ZAYN’s “PILLOWTALK” (10 adds, 8th, tie).
