Lil Nas X’s buzzy “Old Town Road” is quickly garnering attention at pop radio. It officially enters the format’s Top 50 this week.
twenty one pilots’ “Chlorine” and Blueface’s “Thotiana” also earn Top 50 positions.
Played 894 times during the March 24-30 tracking period, “Old Town Road” ranks as the Mediabase pop panel’s #41 song. It was #60 last week.
This week’s spin count tops last week’s mark by a healthy 684 spins. That ranks as the pop format’s fifth-greatest airplay gain — and by far the largest for a song outside the Top 40.
Up four places, “Chlorine” earns #48 this week. It received 552 spins (+263).
A play count of 380 (+61) concurrently lifts “Thotiana” one spot to #50.
