No, ZAYN & Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” did not close the entire pop panel by the end of reporting. It did not set the all-time adds record.
It did, however, post an impressive impact week add count. It does register as pop radio’s most added song this week.
The “Fifty Shades Darker” single was picked up by an impressive 156 Mediabase-monitored stations this week.
The figure is one of the ten best in Mediabase history.
The mammoth list of impact week supporters includes every reporter from America’s Top 5 radio markets.
Picked up by 65 stations, The Weeknd’s “I Feel It Coming (featuring Daft Punk)” takes second-most added. Bebe Rexha’s “I Got You” is third with 39 pickups, while Adele’s “Water Under The Bridge” earns fourth place on the strength of its 30 new adds.
Drake’s “Fake Love,” which garnered 22 new pickups, ranks as fifth-most added.
This week’s other notable pop options: Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles (featuring Gucci Mane)” (20 adds, 6th-most), Clean Bandit’s “Rockabye (featuring Sean Paul & Anne-Marie)” (18 adds, 7th-most), Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons” (16 adds, 8th-most), Hey Violet’s “Guys My Age” (15 adds, 9th-most, tie), Lost Kings’ “Phone Down (featuring Emily Warren)” (15 adds, 9th-most, tie).
