Justin Timberlake’s “Filthy” Erupts As Pop Radio’s Most Added Song; Bruno & Cardi B Follow

“Filthy” and “Finesse” claim the top two spots on this week’s pop radio add board.

Justin Timberlake’s new “Filthy” and Bruno Mars’ new remix of “Finesse (featuring Cardi B)” both received enthusiastic welcomes at pop radio.

Picked up by 178 Mediabase-monitored pop stations in conjunction with this week’s official impact, “Filthy” ranks as the format’s most added song.

The impressive add count ties that of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” as the third-biggest in Mediabase history.

Only Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” (187) and Timberlake’s own “Can’t Stop The Feeling” (186) received more pop adds in a single reporting period — and both songs launched when there were more stations on the panel.

The “Finesse” remix, which takes second place on the add board, won support from an impressive 148 stations (the original, solo version of “Finesse” meanwhile received 6 pickups of its own).

Camila Cabello’s “Never Be The Same” earns third place with 41 new pickups, while an add count of 35 positions Eminem’s “River (featuring Ed Sheeran)” in fourth.

Liam Payne & Rita Ora’s “For You” follows as fifth-most added. The “Fifty Shades Freed” single landed at 20 pop stations on impact.

This week’s other notable pop radio options: Maroon 5’s “Wait” (11 adds, 6th-most), N.E.R.D & Rihanna’s “Lemon” (9 adds, 7th-most, tie), Thirty Seconds To Mars’ “Walk On Water” (9 adds, 7th-most, tie), Jing & Atom Panda’s “Shadow” (8 adds, 9th-most, tie), P!nk’s “Beautiful Trauma” (8 adds, 9th-most, tie), Post Malone’s “I Fall Apart” (8 adds, 9th-most, tie), and Taylor Swift’s “End Game (featuring Ed Sheeran & Future)” (8 adds, 9th-most, tie).
