As the lead single from the most anticipated comeback album of the year, BTS’ “SWIM” unsurprisingly fared well at US pop radio.

The new single won support from 174 Mediabase-monitored pop stations on impact, convincingly ranking as the format’s most added song.

With 52 new adds, Harry Styles’ “American Girls” registers as second-most added.

Each credited with 13 adds, Bebe Rexha’s “New Religion” and Jelly Roll & Carin Leon’s “Lighter” tie for third.

Ties appear throughout the Mediabase pop add board. One Or Eight’s “Tokyo Drift” and PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson’s “Stateside” share fifth place with 12 adds each, while Bella Kay’s “iloveitiloveitiloveit” and Bruno Mars’ “Risk It All” split seventh with 11 new pickups.

Credited with 9 adds each, Alex Warren’s “Fever Dream,” Jason Derulo’s “Sexy For Me,” Lil Uzi Vert’s “What You Saying,” and Mattie Pruitt’s “Hit The Road” share ninth place.
