After rising to #6 last week, Sia’s “Cheap Thrills (featuring Sean Paul)” will move into the Top 5 on this week’s Mediabase pop airplay chart.
P!nk’s “Just Like Fire” will concurrently enter the Top 10.
“Cheap Thrills” received 10,513 spins during the first five days of the July 3-9 tracking week. Up 15.1% from the same-time-last-week count, the tally slots Sia’s tune at #4 on Mediabase’s building chart.
Given its rate of growth, “Cheap Thrills” should be able to retain its #4 position through the close of tracking. At worst, it will be leapfrogged by Calvin Harris’ “This Is What You Came For (featuring Rihanna)” and end up at #5. It will definitely not fall out of the Top 5.
“Just Like Fire” is presently #8 on the building chart; it received 7,152 spins during the first five days of the tracking week (+4.4%). It faces no imminent threat to its position.
