“Sucker” To Become Jonas Brothers’ First Top 10 Hit At Pop Radio

“Sucker” should move into the Top 10 on this week’s pop radio chart.

Jonas Brothers’ comeback single “Sucker” is on track to become the trio’s first career Top 10 hit at pop radio.

“Sucker” received 8,817 spins during the first six days of the March 24-30 tracking period. Up 18% from the count at this point last week, the tally slots “Sucker” at #10 on Mediabase’s building/real-time chart.

While “Sucker” does face a close threat from below in Ariana Grande’s building #11 “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” (8,714 spins, +5.5%), it has the clear momentum advantage. Barring a surprise change in pace, “Sucker” will remain ahead of “break up” as the chart goes final.

It may even move up to #9 or #8, as it is within striking distance of Post Malone & Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” and Post Malone’s “Wow.”

And even if “Sucker” ultimately settles for #11 on this week’s official chart (the lowest it will realistically go), it will still set a career high for Jonas Brothers. The trio had previously peaked at #12 on the Mediabase pop chart with “Burnin’ UP.”
