Boosted at pop radio by the iHeartRadio “On the Verge” program, Nick Jonas’ “Jealous” could not point to initial airplay as an irrefutable barometer of success.<\/p>\n
It can, however, point to sizzling iTunes sales as proof that fans are reacting favorably to what they are hearing (of course, buzz over his Mark Wahlberg-inspired underwear shoot certainly did not hurt matters).<\/p>\n
As of press time, Jonas’ “Jealous” is up to #7 on the iTunes all-genre single sales chart. And insofar as it is currently #19 on Mediabase’s pop radio airplay chart, it is outselling several tracks that are receiving more mainstream airplay.<\/p>\n
The only tracks that are both ahead of “Jealous” on iTunes and commanding more airplay are Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” (#1 on iTunes, #1 at pop), Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off” (#2 on iTunes, #2 on pop), Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj’s “Bang Bang” (#3 on iTunes, #5 at pop) and Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High)” (#5 on iTunes, #8 at pop).<\/p>\n
Other songs currently within the iTunes Top 10 are Maroon 5’s surging “Animals” (#4), Carrie Underwood’s new “Something in the Water” (#6), Jason DeRulo’s “Trumpets” (#8), Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be (featuring Jess Glynne)” (#9) and One Direction’s “Steal My Girl” (#10).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29223,"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":[1047,206],"tags":[2878,2877],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
