Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber’s “I Don’t Care” Ranks As Pop Radio’s Most Added Song

“I Don’t Care” tops this week’s pop radio add board.

For the third consecutive week, a song won support from the entire Mediabase pop radio panel in conjunction with its official impact.

Two weeks ago, Taylor Swift’s “ME! (featuring Brendon Urie)” received support from all 184 Mediabase-monitored pop stations. Last week, Shawn Mendes’ “If I Can’t Have You” achieved the feat.

This week, Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber’s “I Don’t Care” makes a panel-closing impact-week splash.

Given the mammoth count, “I Don’t Care” obviously ranks as this week’s most added song.

Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” takes second place with 25 new pickups. Added by 18 stations, Christian Paul’s “Strong” earns third place.

MAX’s “Love Me Less (featuring Quinn XCII)” follows in fourth with 16 adds. Each picked up by 12 stations, Kygo & Rita Ora’s “Carry On,” Lizzo’s “Juice,” and Daddy Yankee & Katy Perry’s “Con Calma (featuring Snow)” tie for fifth.

This week’s other notable pop radio options: Martin Garrix’s “Summer Days (featuring Macklemore & Patrick Stump)” (8th-most), A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s “Look Back At It” (9th-most), Dan + Shay’s “Speechless” (10th-most, tie), AJ Mitchell’s “All My Friends” (10th-most, tie), Shaed’s “Trampoline” (10th-most, tie), and Panic! At The Disco’s “Hey Look Ma, I Made It)” (10th-most, tie).
