A slight loss in airplay does not prevent Camila Cabello’s “Havana (featuring Young Thug)” from earning a fifth week as pop radio’s #1 song.
“Havana” received 19,013 spins during the December 17-23 tracking period. The count trails last week’s mark by 46 but keeps “Havana” in the #1 spot on Mediabase’s pop airplay chart.
Like last week, Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” offers the closest competition. The ballad received 17,361 spins during the tracking period (+1,091).
“Perfect” seems like a safe bet to reach #1 in the near future, but with Christmas music and year-end countdowns sure to affect airplay, it is unclear whether it will be able to get there next week.
Halsey’s “Bad At Love” holds at #3 with 16,395 spins (+413), while Imagine Dragons’ “Thunder” keeps #4 on the strength of its 12,498 spins (-1110).
Up two places, Post Malone’s “rockstar (featuring 21 Savage)” earns #5. It posted a tracking week play count of 12,485 (+452).
