“Perfect Illusion” is a new Lady Gaga single.
One should experience absolutely no shock, therefore, in learning that “Perfect Illusion” ranks as pop radio’s most added song.
The single received adds from a whopping 149 Mediabase-monitored pop stations in conjunction with this week’s official impact.
Instant support from the iHeartMedia network contributed handsomely to that count, but “Perfect Illusion” was also added by a great many non-iHeart stations, including several in the Top 5 markets.
The 149 figure, which is one of the 10 greatest single add board totals in Mediabase Top 40 history, tops that of the next-most added song by a factor of more than 6.
Jon Bellion’s “All Time Low,” this week’s second-most added song, was picked up by 24 Mediabase-monitored stations.
A weekly add count of 18 earns Nick Fradiani’s “All On You” the third-most added position, while Meghan Trainor’s “Better (featuring Yo Gotti)” takes fourth on the strength of its 16 weekly adds.
Picked up by another 15 stations this week, DJ Snake’s “Let Me Love You (featuring Justin Bieber)” ranks as fifth-most added.
This week’s other notable pop options: Andy Grammer’s “Fresh Eyes” (14 adds, 6th-most, tie), Frenship + Emily Warren’s “Capsize” (14 adds, 6th, tie), Coldplay’s “Hymn For The Weekend” (13 adds, 8th, tie), Lil Wayne/Wiz Khalifa/Imagine Dragons’ “Sucker For Pain (with Logic, Ty Dolla $ign & X Ambassadors)” (13 adds, 8th, tie), and Zara Larsson’s “Ain’t My Fault” (13 adds, 8th, tie).
