First made available Monday, Lorde’s new single “Yellow Flicker Beat” is already one of the Top 40 songs at the alternative radio format.<\/p>\n
According to Mediabase, the song, which is the lead single from the soundtrack to “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1,” had garnered 365 alternative radio spins by the end of Wednesday. That count ranks as the 32nd-largest for the entire week<\/i> between September 25 and October 1.<\/p>\n
The recipient of high-profile airplay, “Yellow Flicker Beat” is off to an even stronger start from an audience standpoint. Its impression count of 2.495 million through Wednesday was alternative’s 17th-largest for the aforementioned tracking period.<\/p>\n
Impressive, the early chart success is far from surprising. Earlier this week, “Yellow Flicker Beat” scored more first-week radio adds than any song by a female artist in the history of the alternative format.<\/p>\n
— In addition to the alternative\/modern rock format, “Yellow Flicker Beat” is also charting on Triple A. It is currently #40 on Mediabase’s rolling AAA airplay chart thanks to 105 spins.
