Responding to Headline Planet’s story about Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” claiming #20 on last week’s hot adult contemporary airplay chart and OneRepublic’s “Wherever I Go” claiming #21, the latter band jokingly asked Adele to trade chart positions in exchange for wine and Nobu.
We can neither confirm nor deny that such an exchange happened, but we can confirm that “Wherever I Go” is now higher on the Mediabase Hot AC airplay chart. Adele’s “Send My Love” is #16 this week, while the OneRepublic song is #15.
“Wherever I Go” claims its new peak thanks to the ~2,380 spins it received during the May 22-28 tracking week (+680). It is the week’s only addition to the Top 15.
“Wherever I Go” premiered at Hot AC radio on May 12. It is also active at adult contemporary and pop radio; it rises to #25 at the former and #34 at the latter this week.
