“Send My Love” follows “Hello” as the second pop radio #1 from “25.” It is her fourth overall Mediabase pop radio chart-topper.

Major Lazer’s “Cold Water (featuring Justin Bieber & MØ)” rises one place to #3 on this week’s pop chart. It received ~15,430 tracking period spins (+914).

twenty one pilots’ former #1 “Ride” falls two places to #4 with ~14,941 plays (-1,358), while The Chainsmokers’ “Closer (featuring Halsey)” jumps three places to #5.

“Closer” garnered ~13,209 weekly spins (+2,173).
