The bad news? Ariana Grande’s “Problem (Iggy Azalea)” is losing steam at pop radio and will soon relinquish its number one airplay position to Nico and Vinz’ “Am I Wrong.”<\/p>\n
The good news? Her new single “Break Free (featuring Zedd)” has officially cracked the Top 40 on Mediabase’s rolling airplay chart.<\/p>\n
While the single, which is rising quickly but not unprecedentedly so, has a long way to go before it flirts with the Top 10, let alone the #1 spot, it is definitely off to a promising start.<\/p>\n
Despite not even being available for the full week, “Break Free” was the 38th-most-played song for the seven days ending July 7. According to Mediabase, it generated 929 spins and a healthy audience count of 10.04 million impressions over that period.<\/p>\n
Other notables on the latest rolling pop radio airplay chart:<\/p>\n
— “Problem” is not the only song to break into the top 40; Ingrid Michaelson’s “Girls Chase Boys” also made the leap. It was the #40 song for the seven days ending July 8.<\/p>\n
— Its current tenure in the Top 40 will, unfortunately, not be a long one. By tomorrow, Kiesza’s “Hideaway,” which is only one spin behind the Michaelson song and rising much faster, will overtake it on the Mediabase chart.<\/p>\n
— Maroon 5’s “Maps” has officially gone top 10. It replaces Jason DeRulo’s “Wiggle (featuring Snoop Dogg)” in the #10 spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047,206],"tags":[1982,692,2478,2528,2468,2120,2467,2430,2429,2092],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
