The race as closer than anticipated, but it ultimately ends as expected. Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” overtakes Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” for #1 on Mediabase’s hot adult contemporary airplay chart.
Up one place, “Send My Love” takes #1 on the strength of its ~7,166 tracking week spins. This week’s count bests last week’s by 78.
“Can’t Stop The Feeling,” which had spent four straight (and seven total) weeks at #1, drops to #2. It received ~7,100 spins during the July 31-August 6 tracking period (-37).
P!nk’s “Just Like Fire” holds at #3 with ~6,827 spins (-106), while Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” (#4, = | ~6,679, +361) and twenty one pilots’ “Ride” (#5, = | ~5,453, +488) again complete the Top 5.
