THE POP LOGJAM: RADIO'S STAR-STUDDED IMPACT WEEK

Earlier this month, we wrote about the logjam at Pop radio and the current blitz of releases by star artists. Well, this week we see one of the biggest rushes at the format in recent memory, with four high-profile acts vying for adds— Interscope’s Selena Gomez, Epic’s Camila Cabello, Republic’s Liam Payne f/Quavo and Capitol’s Katy Perry f/Nicki Minaj. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus and Niall Horan continue earning commitments in their sophomore weeks. As promo teams square off, who will prevail? Stay tuned. Amid all this action, meanwhile, “Redbone” by Childish Gambino (Glassnote) keeps growing at multiple radio formats and appears headed for the top, proving the value of persistence.
