As Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” prepares for a crossover run at pop radio, it continues to establish a support base at the hot adult contemporary format.<\/p>\n
Already a Top 30 song on the format’s official airplay chart, the song this week registers as Hot AC radio’s most added song.<\/p>\n
According to Mediabase, 16 monitored stations added “Fight Song” to their playlists this week. No other song–new or old–gained an equivalent level of support.<\/p>\n
Recently named an iHeartRadio “On the Verge” song–and thus picked to receive guaranteed airplay from iHeartMedia radio stations–“Fight Song” appears destined for meaningful success.<\/p>\n
Added by 13 monitored stations, Meghan Trainor’s “Dear Future Husband” ranks as Hot AC radio’s second-most added song this week. The double digit list of adds comes as “DFH” moves toward the format’s Top 40; it appears at #41 on the latest edition of Mediabase’s rolling Hot AC airplay chart.<\/p>\n
Jason Derulo’s “Want to Want Me” and Tori Kelly’s “Nobody Love” tie for third-most added with 11 pickups each. Nate Ruess’ “Nothing Without Love” and One Direction’s “Night Changes” then share fifth-most added honors on the respective strength of their 9 weekly pickups.<\/p>\n
Other popular Hot AC options this week: Jacquie Lee’s “Tears Fall” (7 adds, 7th-most added, tie), James Bay’s “Hold Back the River” (7 adds, 7th-most added, tie), Mumford & Sons’ “Believe” (7 adds, 7th-most added, tie), NEEDTOBREATHE’s “Brother (featuring Gavin DeGraw)” (6 adds, 10th-most added, tie) and The Weeknd’s “Earned It” (6 adds, 10th-most added, tie).<\/p>\n
