The climb continues for Khalid x Normani’s “Love Lies.”
The collaboration, which rose to #6 on last week’s Mediabase rhythmic radio chart, ticks up to #5 this week.
“Love Lies” received ~3,959 spins during the June 3-9 tracking period. The count tops last week’s mark by 544 plays.
The impressive gain ranks as the week’s third-largest increase. Only Cardi B, J Balvin & Bad Bunny’s “I Like It” (+716) and Migos’ “Walk It Talk It (featuring Drake)” (+568) enjoyed greater gains.
“Love Lies” is the fourth Top 5 rhythmic radio hit for Khalid, who previously got there with his own “Location” and “Young Dumb & Broke” and as a featured artist on Logic’s “1-800-273-8255.”
It meanwhile represents Normani’s first Top 5 hit as a solo artist. She hit the region once as part of Fifth Harmony; the group’s “Work From Home” reached #1 at the format in 2016.
