The top 40 of Mediabase’s pop radio airplay chart officially welcomes two new songs this week.<\/p>\n
Aided by sizable airplay increases–and by Mediabase’s removal of Justin Timberlake’s declining “Not a Bad Thing” and MKTO’s free-falling “Classic” from its “current” chart–Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” and Ed Sheeran’s “Don’t” debut in the weekly top 40.<\/p>\n
Trainor’s buzzworthy “Bass,” which remains in the Top 20 on iTunes, was pop radio’s 39th-most-played song for the seven days ending July 19. It garnered 875 spins and 3.90 million audience impressions over that period.<\/p>\n
Sheeran’s “Don’t,” which did not even officially impact radio until this past week, reaches #40 on the strength of 870 spins. Played slightly less than Trainor’s song, it nonetheless commanded a larger audience. Mediabase says the song received 5.53 million audience impressions between July 13 and July 19.<\/p>\n
— Songs making waves just beneath the Top 40 include 5 Seconds of Summer’s #42 “Amnesia” (748 spins, +547), Steve Aoki, Chris Lake and Tujamo’s #44 “Delirious (Boneless) featuring Kid Ink” (593 spins, +235) and Fifth Harmony’s #47 “Bo$$” (426 spins, +270).<\/p>\n
— Nico and Vinz’ “Am I Wrong” reigns at #1 for a second consecutive week. That reign will end this coming week when MAGIC!’s runner-up “Rude” takes over the number one position.<\/p>\n

— Demi Lovato’s “Really Don’t Care (featuring Cher Lloyd)” reaches a new peak of #10. Charli XCX’s #11 “Boom Clap” will soon leapfrog “Don’t Care” to make a Top 10 run of its own.<\/p>\n
