Update: Late revisions have been made to this week’s hot adult contemporary radio add report.
It originally appeared that Kesha’s “Praying” outright ranked as the format’s most added song. It actually shares that honor this week — it and Katy Perry’s “Save As Draft” each landed at 16 Mediabase-monitored Hot AC stations.
“Praying,” it should be noted, does not officially impact radio until next week.
Picked up by 8 stations, Andy Grammer’s “Give Love (featuring LunchMoney Lewis)” ranks as third-most added. Halsey’s “Now Or Never,” which landed at 7 new stations, follows in fourth place.
Each added by 6 stations, Bruno Mars’ “Versace On The Floor,” Clean Bandit’s “Symphony (featuring Zara Larsson),” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber),” Portugal. The Man’s “Feel It Still,” and Robin Schulz’ “OK (featuring James Blunt)” tie for fifth.
Fitz And The Tantrums’ “Fool,” James Arthur’s “Can I Be Him,” and The Revivalists’ “Wish I Knew You,” which each landed at 5 stations, tie for tenth.
