Chicago’s B96 officially added five songs to its playlist this week.
Reporting to the January 10 add board, the influential pop station confirms it picked up Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” and “Castle On The Hill,” Ariana Grande’s “Everyday (featuring Future),” Drake’s “Fake Love,” and Steve Aoki & Louis Tomlinson’s “Just Hold On.”
Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” and “Castle On The Hill” both premiered this past Friday. Both songs were positioned as “singles,” but the former seems to be receiving the lion’s share of attention at radio.
Grande’s “Everyday” is officially heading to rhythmic radio this week; a pop impact date will be announced soon. “Fake Love” is nearing the Top 20 at pop radio.
“Just Hold On” was last week’s #51 song at pop radio; it appears poised for big gains this week.
