Last week, Ellie Goulding’s “On My Mind” tied Rudimental’s “Lay It All On Me (featuring Ed Sheeran)” for most-added at hot adult contemporary radio.
This week, it lays sole claim to the distinction.
“On My Mind” received adds from another 22 Mediabase-monitored Hot AC stations this week. That doubles the count achieved by the format’s next-most-added songs.
The new showing of support comes as “On My Mind” already holds a Top 30 position on the Mediabase Hot AC airplay chart. Goulding’s single is also nearing the Top 10 on the pop airplay listing.
Not simply a radio force, “On My Mind” is also developing sales momentum. Nielsen Music says it sold 50,053 paid US downloads during the October 9-15 tracking week, which brought its cumulative total to 209,865.
Added by 11 monitored Hot AC stations, Shawn Mendes’ “Stitches” and the aforementioned “Lay It All On Me” tie for second-most-added. Andy Grammer’s “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah),” Demi Lovato’s “Confident,” and Fall Out Boy’s “Irresistible (featuring Demi Lovato)” follow in a three-way tie for fourth-most-added. Each song received 9 weekly pickups.
Other notable Hot AC options: Coleman Hell’s “2 Heads” (7 adds, 7th-most-added, tie), Gwen Stefani’s “Used To Love You” (7 adds, 7th-most-added, tie), James Bay’s “Let It Go” (6 adds, 9th-most-added, tie), Jess Glynne’s “Hold My Hand” (6 adds, 9th-most-added, tie), Rob Thomas’ “Hold On Forever” (6 adds, 9th-most-added, tie).
