Camila Cabello’s “Havana (featuring Young Thug),” which has been a strong Spotify performer for the past several weeks, is beginning to make big moves on the US iTunes sales and Mediabase pop radio airplay charts.
Aided by its ongoing buzz and performances on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “The Elvis Duran Show,” Havana recently moved into the Top 10 on the US iTunes sales chart.
It is #10 as of press time at 11:20AM ET.
“Havana” last appeared in the Top 10 on August 4 — the day after its release.
“Havana” is meanwhile poised to enter the Top 30 on this week’s Mediabase pop radio airplay chart.
It received 1,255 spins during the first four days of the September 24-30 tracking week. Up a healthy 52.9% from the count at this point last week, the tally slots “Havana” at #29 on Mediabase’s building chart.
Facing no imminent threat from below, “Havana” will have no trouble retaining its position through the close of tracking.
It is actually set to move higher by the chart goes final. Imagine Dragons’ building #11 “Believer” is set to be removed as a recurrent, which will lift all lower-ranked songs (including “Havana”) up by one place.
“Havana” may also leapfrog Calvin Harris’ building #28 “Feels (featuring Pharrell, Katy Perry and Big Sean)” before the end of the week.
An official position of #27, therefore, seems quite realistic.
— The aforementioned Spotify success persists for “Havana,” which was Wednesday’s 15th-most-streamed song on the US version of the platform.
— “Havana” is due to receive additional support Friday, when Cabello takes the stage as part of the NBC TODAY Show Concert Series.
