Hey, buddy! Hope you've been takin' it easy on the mid-afternoon snacks if you're gonna rock that sexy weasel costume come Friday. Speaking of sexy, peep the add action at three key Mediabase formats.
TOP 40
It was a huge first week for Iggy Azalea f/MØ’s “Beg for It” (Grand Hustle/Def Jam), which scored #1 Most Added honors. Republic had a big week with three entries on the list: Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” (Big Machine) two weeks ahead of official impact, Ariana Grande & The Weeknd’s “Love Me Harder” for a fourth week, and Jessie J. f/2 Chainz's (Lava/Republic). Interscope grabbed two slots with Gwen Stefani’s “Baby Don’t Lie” and Kendrick Lamar’s “i.” Meanwhile, Meghan Trainor’s “Lips Are Movin'” (Epic), Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” (Columbia) and Eden XO’s “Too Cool to Dance” (Capitol) returned to the list for a second week.
