At Top 40, Peter Gray and the Columbia crew claim the #1 spot on the add board this week, picking up 144 adds on Lil Nas X’s "STAR WALKIN’" just days after release. Major kudos to Capitol's Greg Marella and team for bringing 130+ stations to, and putting 108 official adds on, Sam Smith & Kim Petras’ "Unholy"; the squad’s nimble response is a textbook example of striking while the iron is hot. Warner comes in with 30 additional adds on David Guetta & Bebe Rexha’s "I'm Good (Blue)" (Parlophone U.K.), while Interscope stacks another 24 adds on BLACKPINK’s "Pink Venom” (YG Entertainment) and Def Jam scores 20 more stations on Armani White’s "BILLIE EILISH." (Legendbound). Capitol's second entry in the Top 10 is Lewis Capaldi’s "Forget Me," which grabs 18 adds. Republic puts another 17 on The Weeknd’s "Die for You" (XO), and In2une closes out the Top 10 Most Added with 13 adds on JVKE’s "golden hour" (JVKE/ AWAL).
Meanwhile, at Rhythm, Columbia’s Lil Nas X returns with “STAR WALKIN’,” which pulls in a cool 50 adds during impact week. Epic’s Oxlade brings in 30 stations on “KU LO SA” as Interscope’s GloRilla scores 15 early adds on “Tomorrow 2” w/Cardi B (CMG) a week before official impact. Capitol’s Ice Spice lands 13 more commitments on “Munch,” and RCA’s Chris Brown closes out another nine believers this week with “Under the Influence.”
And at Modern Rock, Martha’s Music/Thirty Tigers’ Smashing Pumpkins have this week’s Most Added record with “Beguiled.” Other winners include Dirty Hit’s The 1975 with “I’m in Love With You,” Darkroom/Interscope’s d4vd with “Romantic Homicide,” Warner’s Muse with “You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween” and Happy Accident/The Orchard’s lovelytheband with “Sail Away.”
