For the second time in the “Dangerous Woman” era, an Ariana Grande single will occupy the Top 10 on Mediabase’s rhythmic radio airplay chart.
Grande’s “Side To Side (featuring Nicki Minaj)” received 2,729 spins during the first six days of the November 6-12 tracking week. Up 13.5% from the count at this point last week, the tally positions Grande’s single at #9 on Mediabase’s building chart.
Since it faces no imminent threat from below (and certainly not two threats from below, it should have no trouble retaining its Top 10 position through the close of tracking.
In reaching the Top 10, “Side To Side” will be following in the footsteps of the “Dangerous Woman” title track. “Into You,” the follow-up to “Dangerous Woman” and predecessor to “Side To Side,” did not reach rhythmic’s Top 10.
— “Side To Side” will concurrently move up to #6 on this week’s Mediabase pop airplay chart.
