Katy Perry & Skip Marley’s “Chained To The Rhythm” Erupts As Pop Radio’s Most Added Song

In addition to topping the hot adult contemporary radio add board, Katy Perry’s “Chained To The Rhythm” earns this week’s most added honor at pop radio.

And it does so with one of the biggest totals in Mediabase Top 40 history.

Added by 58 stations, Maroon 5’s “Cold (featuring Future)” takes second place. Ariana Grande’s “Everyday (featuring Future)” grabs third with 37 adds, while an add count of 28 slots Marian Hill’s “Down” in fourth place.

Credited with 27 pickups, Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa’s “Scared To Be Lonely” ranks as fifth-most added.

This week’s other notable pop radio options: Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like” (20 adds, 6th-most), Snakehips & MO’s “Don’t Leave” (19 adds, 7th-most), Julia Michaels’ “Issues” (18 adds, 8th-most), Big Sean’s “Bounce Back” (17 adds, 9th-most), and James Arthur’s “Say You Won’t Let Go” (16 adds, 10th-most).
