A beneficiary of iHeartRadio’s coveted “On the Verge” push that is proving itself to be a compelling fit for radio, Echosmith’s “Cool Kids” continues storming up Mediabase’s Hot Adult Contemporary airplay chart.<\/p>\n
According to the cleansed, published edition of Mediabase’s Hot AC chart, “Cool Kids” was the format’s 20th-most-played song for the seven days ending July 26. It received 1,551 spins and 8.16 million audience impressions during that period.<\/p>\n
Its weekly spin gain of 424 was the format’s fourth-largest. Only Disclosure’s #18 “Latch (featuring Sam Smith)” (+517 spins), Maroon 5’s #5 “Maps” (+512) and MAGIC!’s newly minted #1 “Rude” (+461) made bigger gains between July 20 and 26.<\/p>\n
With 411 spins in its debut week, The Script’s new “Superheroes” was the format’s fifth-biggest-gainer. It debuts at #37 on the official Mediabase chart for Hot AC.<\/p>\n
While it is doing its most impressive work (as far as chart performance goes) at Hot AC, Echosmith’s “Cool Kids” is also a positive mover at pop. It rises to #28 on the latest edition of the Mediabase pop\/Top 40 airplay chart.<\/p>\n
