Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” has established a new record for the greatest single-week add count reported in Mediabase Top 40/Pop Radio history.

The superstar’s new single was added by 186 Mediabase-monitored stations in conjunction with this week’s official add board. The mark, which reportedly represents the entire pop panel, tops the previous record of 178.

Taylor Swift’s fifth “1989” single “Wildest Dreams” set that record last summer.

Timberlake’s song, obviously, ranks as the week’s most added pop song. It also earns that distinction at the rhythmic and hot adult contemporary formats.

As for pop, Selena Gomez’ “Kill Em With Kindness” follows as second-most added. The latest “Revival” single was added by 50 Mediabase-monitored pop stations this week.

Picked up by 49 stations, Calvin Harris’ “This Is What You Came For (featuring Rihanna)” ranks as third-most added this week. Meghan Trainor’s “Me Too” takes fourth with 29 adds in advance of its official impact, while Desiigner’s “Panda” grabs fifth place on the strength of 24 weekly adds.

This week’s other notable pop radio options: Bahari’s “Dancing On The Sun” (19 adds, 6th), Beyonce’s “Sorry” (18 adds, 7th), Coldplay’s “Hymn For The Weekend (featuring Beyonce)” (15 adds, 8th, tie), Kent Jones’ “Don’t Mind” (15 adds, 8th, tie), twenty one pilots’ “Ride” (13 adds, 10th).
