DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Chance & Quavo’s “No Brainer” Ranks As Pop Radio’s Most Added Song

“No Brainer” tops this week’s pop radio add board.

For many pop stations, the decision to confirm support for the new DJ Khaled single was a no brainer.

“No Brainer,” which features Justin Bieber, Chance The Rapper & Quavo, landed at 148 Mediabase-monitored pop stations in conjunction with this week’s official impact. It ranks as the week’s most added song.

Granted, it was not the only song to receive a warm welcome. The Chainsmokers’ new “Side Effects (featuring Emily Warren),” which takes second place on the add board, landed at 81 stations.

Zedd & Elley Duhe’s “Happy Now” follows in third place with 35 pickups, while an add count of 32 slots Ariana Grande’s “God is a woman” in fourth.

Drake’s “In My Feelings,” which won support from another 26 stations, follows as fifth-most added.

This week’s other notable pop radio options: Benny Blanco, Halsey & Khalid’s “Eastside” (22 adds, 6th-most), Charlie Puth’s “The Way I Am” (19 adds, 7th-most), Childish Gambino’s “Summertime Magic” (19 adds, 7th-most), Imagine Dragons’ “Natural” (18 adds, 9th-most), and Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” (16 adds, 10th-most).
