Several new songs successfully entered the fray at pop radio this week, but programmers remained most fixated on a trio of previously released songs.<\/p>\n
Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj’s “Bang Bang,” which ranked as most-added upon impact last week, extended its reign for a second frame. The song, which is already #19 on the airplay chart, won support from another 91 stations.<\/p>\n
Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” which recently reached #1 on iTunes, had another successful adds week. Now the #20 song at pop and the second-fastest riser (excluding “Bang Bang,” which has not been available for two full weeks and thus a difficult point of comparison) behind Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap,” “Bass” landed at 32 new stations this week.<\/p>\n
Clean Bandit’s breakthrough “Rather Be (featuring Jess Glynne)” is already up to #13 for airplay, but it is not done getting added. The song received new support from 27 stations this week.<\/p>\n
Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow (featuring Rita Ora)” tied for fourth place with Pitbull’s “Fireball (featuring John Ryan).” Both songs scored 25 adds this week; the latter was the best-performing new track.<\/p>\n
Jeremih’s newly-impacting “Don’t Tell ‘Em (featuring YG)” followed with 24 adds. Lil Jon’s “Bend Ova (featuring Tyga)” scored the same 24 one week ahead of its official impact.<\/p>\n
Katy Perry’s “This is How We Do,” which officially impacts alongside “Bend Ova” (and several other songs) next week, landed at 23 stations to rank as eighth-most-added. Enrique Iglesias’ “Bailando (featuring Descemer Bueno, Sean Paul and Gente de Zona)” (22 adds) and 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Amnesia” (21 adds) also had strong weeks.<\/p>\n
MKTO’s “American Dream” and David Guetta’s “Lovers on the Sun (featuring Sam Martin),” which were both new to the format this week, had modest weeks with 12 adds each.<\/p>\n
