Ingrid Michaelson, OneRepublic, The Strumbellas Enter Top 30 at Hot AC Radio

Last week, Ingrid Michaelson’s “Hell No” entered the Top 40 at hot adult contemporary radio.

This week, it leaps into the Top 30.

Spun ~750 times during the May 8-14 tracking week (+336), Michaelson’s new single enjoys an eleven-place jump to #28.

Despite not launching until Thursday afternoon, OneRepublic’s “Wherever I Go” also enters the Top 30 position. The song, which received ~721 spins within the official tracking week, takes #29 on the chart.

While handicapped by its late-week arrival, “Wherever I Go” benefited from hourly first day airplay promotions at iHeartMedia’s Hot AC stations.

Also new to the Top 30 is The Strumbellas’ “Spirits.” The alternative radio #1 rises three places to #30 on this week’s Hot AC chart. It was played ~697 times during the tracking week (+72).
