This week, it earns the top spot on the format’s add board.
“Slow Hands” won support from another 20 Mediabase-monitored Hot AC stations this week. The count gives “Slow Hands” the edge over Miley Cyrus’ new “Malibu,” which takes second place on the strength of 17 adds.
Each added by 15 new stations, Charlie Puth’s “Attention” and Shawn Mendes’ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” tie for third. Hailee Steinfeld’s “Most Girls” lands in fifth with 13 adds.
