Charlie Puth [Vince Bucci | FOX]
The potent combination of solid mainstream radio exposure and a discounted price point has thrust another song into the Top 5 on the US iTunes single sales chart.
The latest beneficiary is Charlie Puth’s “We Don’t Talk Anymore (featuring Selena Gomez).” The song is #5 as of 11:50PM ET.
Only The Chainsmokers’ #1 “Closer,” twenty one pilots’ #2 “Heathens,” Shawn Mendes’ #3 “Treat You Better,” and Major Lazer’s #4 “Cold Water” are selling at a faster pace.
Mendes’ single is also positioned solidly at pop and hot adult contemporary radio — and also available for only $0.69 on the iTunes store.
“We Don’t Talk Anymore” is currently #8 on Mediabase’s hot adult contemporary airplay chart and #13 on the official pop listing.
