Last week, Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Adele’s “Hello” scored monster pop radio add counts of 140 and 132, respectively.
This week, Ariana Grande’s “Focus” won an even greater level of support.
The new single won adds from an impressive 158 Mediabase-monitored stations. It easily ranks as the week’s most-added song.
Its weekly add count also ranks as the third-greatest achieved in Mediabase history. Only Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” (178) and Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” (165) have posted greater weekly add counts.
Each added by 43 stations this week, the aforementioned “Hello” and “Sorry” follow in a tie for second-most-added. An add count of 25 earns One Direction’s “Perfect” fourth place, while Fall Out Boy’s “Irresistible (featuring Demi Lovato)” and Fetty Wap’s “679” tie for fifth on the strength of their 21 pickups.
Other notable pop options this week: Tori Kelly’s “Hollow” (20 adds, 7th-most-added), Gwen Stefani’s “Used To Love You” (18 adds, 8th-most-added), DNCE’s “Cake By The Ocean” (16 adds, 9th-most-added), BORNS’ “Electric Love” (15 adds, 10th-most-added).
