Horan’s new single claims the top spot on this week’s pop radio add board.

Niall Horan’s “Slow Hands” received a considerable amount of support in conjunction with this week’s pop radio impact.

Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” follows in third with 32 pickups, while an add count of 27 slots Shawn Mendes’ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” in fourth place.

Picked up 26 stations, Charlie Puth’s “Attention” ranks as fifth-most added.

This week’s other notable pop radio options: Hailee Steinfeld’s “Most Girls” (19 adds, 6th-most), Lady Gaga’s “The Cure” (18 adds, 7th-most, tie), Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa’s “Scared To Be Lonely” (18 adds, 7th-most, tie), Katy Perry’s “Bon Appetit (featuring Migos)” (16 adds, 9th-most), Ed Sheeran’s “Castle On The Hill” (12 adds, 10th-most, tie), and Imagine Dragons’ “Believer” (12 adds, 10th-most, tie).
