Justin Timberlake’s “Filthy” did not arrive until the sixth day of the December 31-January 6 pop radio tracking week.
Despite the late-week arrival, it earns a prominent position on this week’s Mediabase pop airplay chart.
The song, which received 2,913 spins within the confines of the tracking period, debuts at #22 on this week’s listing.
As evidenced by its mammoth early spin total, “Filthy” received an enthusiastic welcome from radio programmers. Many stations played the song every hour on Friday.
In addition to debuting prominently on the pop chart, “Filthy” makes a big splash on the Hot AC listing. It takes #28 on that format’s airplay chart.
