It looks like it's starting. Illusion is below the 10k spins mark now.

 

Also, why is Make You Mine still gaining in Week 22?

Why are there so few pop radio adds lately? Less stations or just slow for new music?

 

I know there are slow weeks but it feels like it's for a month now at least.

There is a general drought in terms of new music and, at the same time, radio programmers seem to have decided that the most played songs currently are solid enough to stay that way without much change. Hence, also the considerably slow updates.

It's this. Typically I am extremely sick of the songs that are top 5 on radio by the time they get there. But currently Too Sweet, A Bar Song, Espresso, I Had Some Help, Goodluck,Babe are still my top songs of the moment. They are not getting old and I am happy to hear these on power rotation until September.

Well, actually it happened almost a week ago (on Thursday), that's when Z100 chnages their Power list, thus, this is the impact of that decision.

Espresso will probably drop to #5 in spins in the next day or two but will still have the highest audience numbers.

It's kinda crazy how small stations have dropped it, yet it's still strong on big stations.

Remember the days when songs could actually get +1M audience in a single POP update? :katie: 

 

Radio is so much weaker and slower these days, I wish Billboard would lower it's impact accordingly.
