Last week, Headline Planet drew attention to the impending smash that is R. City’s “Locked Away (featuring Adam Levine)”.
Doing their part to make that blockbuster destiny a reality, a whopping 25 Mediabase-monitored hot adult contemporary stations added the song this week.
The count earns “Locked Away” the format’s most-added distinction this week.
Closest behind is Jamie Lawson’s “Wasn’t Expecting That.” The song, which is iHeartRadio’s newest “On the Verge” selection, scored adds from 19 monitored stations.
Added by 15 stations and 13 stations, respectively, A Great Big World’s “Hold Each Other (featuring Futuristic)” and Elle King’s “Ex’s and Oh’s” follow as third- and fourth-most-added, respectively.
A weekly add count of 8 earns Beck’s “Dreams” the fifth-most-added honor.
Other notable Hot AC options: Charlie Puth’s “Marvin Gaye (featuring Meghan Trainor)” (7 adds, 6th-most, tie), George Ezra’s “Blame It On Me” (7, 6th, tie), Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Myself” (7, 6th, tie), Gavin James’ “Bitter Piill” (6, 9th, tie), Meghan Trainor’s “Like I’m Gonna Lose You (featuring John Legend)” (6, 9th, tie), and Selena Gomez’ “Good For You (featuring A$AP Rocky)” (6, 9th, tie).
