Played ~5,566 times during the January 28-February 3 tracking period, the smash enjoys a whopping 21st week at #1 on the Hot AC chart. The count trails last week’s mark by a modest 51 spins, further indicating the song’s phenomenal longevity.

The consistency continues through #5, as Tate McRae’s “greedy” again scores the final Top 5 position.
