Memorial Day, the official kickoff of the summer, is right around the corner! Tons of major releases and lots of tours, radio shows and all-around fun in the sun. After the winter we’ve all had, we are READY. Now, how long until everyone starts complaining about the heat?
Speaking of heat, Republic’s Spangler, Russell and Dastur have sure been firing up the addboard. Once again, they had four tracks in the Top 10 Most Added. And they clearly have one of the hottest artists on the planet, as Post Malone f/Ty Dolla $ign’s “Psycho” moves up inside the Top 10 while sales and streaming numbers continue to soar. Julia Michaels f/Trippie Redd’s “Jump” impacted with impressive major-market call letters like KIIS, KMVQ and KZZP, just to mention a few. Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood” (Island) is Top 10 at Pop and Top 10 on iTunes, while the album drops just in time for the holiday weekend. Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry”—Top 10 iTunes and Top 15 U.S. Spotify—is set to join the Top 10 in airplay. Taylor Swift’s “Delicate” (Big Machine) is heading Top 15 as one of the week’s Greatest Gainers, off increases from B96, KALV and KZHT. Drake’s “Nice for What” (YMCMB) was the #3 Greatest Gainer on the chart and on the way to joining the Top 20. It’s also #1 U.S. Shazam and #2 U.S. Spotify. Liam Payne & J Balvin’s “Familiar,” which drew a huge response from the Good Morning America crowd last week, debuts on the chart with airplay from KIIS, WIOQ and WNRW.
Epic’s Sackheim, Afloarei and Dimig still have the #1 track at Pop as Camila Cabello’s “Never Be the Same” (SYCO) holds down that spot for another week.

Huge early-summer female anthem!” Dua Lipa’s “IDGAF” is now Top 15 and climbing, pulling in new airplay from KIIS and KZZP.
