Camila Cabello’s “Havana” Scoring Well With Pop Radio Listeners

The smash received strong marks in the latest audience callout report.

Evidenced by its strong positions on the US iTunes and Spotify charts, Camila Cabello’s “Havana (featuring Young Thug)” is resonating with consumers.

It is also receiving a great response from pop radio listeners.

The latest Mediabase callout report reveals a very positive reaction to the global smash.

Based on a survey of pop radio audience members, the report reveals that “Havana” is receiving a positive reaction from 68.3% of listeners, a negative reaction from 16.4% and thus a “net positive” score of 51.9%.

A healthy 26.8% of listeners, meanwhile, identify “Havana” as a “favorite.”

Of the 18 songs featured in this week’s report, “Havana” boasts the second-best positive score (tied with Charlie Puth’s “Attention,” below only Imagine Dragons’ “Thunder”), second-best (lowest) negative score (ranking only below Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect”) and second-best net positive score (below only “Thunder”).

Its “favorite” rating is the sixth-highest.

Strong callouts are nothing new for Camila Cabello. “Bad Things,” her collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly, was one of the best-scoring songs during its run in late 2016/early 2017.

Buoyed by the week’s greatest airplay gain, “Havana” will enter the Top 3 on this week’s Mediabase pop chart.
