GAYLE’s breakthrough hit “abcdefu” makes another big gain on this week’s Mediabase pop radio chart.
Up three places from last week’s position, “abcdefu” earns #9 on the listing. The hit single received ~10,013 spins during the January 16-22 tracking period, reflecting a week-over-week gain of 1,431.
Only The Weeknd’s “Sacrifice” (+2,264) and Charlie Puth’s new “Light Switch” (1,492 spins it its first three days) posted greater airplay increases this week.
— “abcdefu” also makes moves on other airplay charts this week, securing a Top 20 position at hot adult contemporary and a Top 25 ranking at alternative. Also a streaming and sales juggernaut, the song recently hit the Top 10 on the all-encompassing Billboard Hot 100.
