You and the moon and Neptune and MTV got it right — Echosmith was definitely an act to watch.<\/p>\n
Confirmed as one of MTV’s 2014 Artists to Watch as the year kicked off, Echosmith is making major–and ever-increasing–waves with single “Cool Kids.”<\/p>\n
#26 on the Billboard Hot 100, the breakthrough tune is currently charting on four<\/i> radio formats.<\/p>\n
The recipient of an iHeartRadio “On the Verge” push during the summer, “Cool Kids” is doing its most notable damage at hot adult contemporary. It was that format’s 12th-most-played song and 6th-greatest gainer during the seven days between August 29 and September 4.<\/p>\n
Once the “On the Verge” push kicked in at Hot AC, “Cool Kids” began enjoying a surge of momentum at pop radio. It is up to #18 at the format and enjoyed an impressive 874 week-over-week spin gain during the August 29 – September 4 window.<\/p>\n
Despite winning support from some key alternative stations, including the band’s local Alt 98.7, “Cool Kids” failed to chart on that format during the late-spring\/early-summer months. Thanks to its explosion at pop and Hot AC, has since gained new life at alternative radio and recently hopped into the format’s Top 40. It is currently #36 on alternative.<\/p>\n
“Cool Kids” is also charting at #39 on the Adult Contemporary radio format.<\/p>\n
While the music industry largely considers the “charting” segment to be each radio format’s Top 40, it is worth noting that “Cool Kids” does have a presence on a fifth radio format. It is currently #49 on AAA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27296,"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],"tags":[2366,1825],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
