Ariana Grande - break up with your girlfriend | Republic
Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” predictably attracted mammoth attention at pop radio this week.
All twelve tracks from the album, in fact, rank within the format’s Top 75.
As previously reported, lead single “thank u, next” and follow-up “7 rings” appear at #2 and #8, respectively.
“break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored,” the next official single from the album, already ranks as the Mediabase pop panel’s #44 song. The song earns that position thanks to the 566 spins it received during the February 3-9 tracking period.
Keep in mind, of course, that it did not launch until the sixth day of the tracking period.
The other nine tracks received a considerable amount of airplay. Much of the airplay came from launch day campaigns in which stations played a song from the album every hour.
“imagine,” which had actually been released prior to the album launch, takes #59 this week. It received 161 tracking period spins.
The other songs rank as follows:
#61 – bloodline (160 spins)
#62 – NASA (159 spins)
#64 – needy (150 spins)
#65 – ghostin (149 spins)
#66 – fake smile (148 spins)
#67 – bad idea (141 spins)
#72 – make up (126 spins)
#74 – in my head (124 spins)
