EnjoyTheSilence Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 PLEASE DO NOT come in here an shade singles that flopped in other metrics but slayed radio. Anyways, what are radio Feuled hits? Post sales and radio peaks
iHype. Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Most radio fueled hit of the digital era. Chingy - Pullin' Me Back (2006)Overall Radio: #1Digital Sales: #63
EnjoyTheSilence Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Madonna - Angel the week of June 29, 1985 Hot 100: #5 Sales: #11 AirPlay: #5 The song could've peaked higher than #5. It peaked at #9 in sales and #4 in AirPlay I guess the released dates were mixed up. And it for sure would've gone at least #2 if Billboad allowed 12" singles to count. It's the first 12" single to be certified for 1M units in the USA (mainly because of the B-side, into the groove) Edited March 27, 2017 by EnjoyTheSilence

Europe Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Neon Lights by Demi I was surpirsed it only peaked at #26 or what, it got lots of airplay in Europe
Slow Down Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Recently, Scars To Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara was like #1 at radio but it didn't have nearly as much power in sales. Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Lovato hit #1 on pop radio but peaked at #16 on the Hot 100.
ARTPØP Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) These are just some I can remember off the top of my head: Alessia Cara - "Here" (#5) Digital Songs: #11 Radio Songs: #3 Alessia Cara - "Scars To Your Beautiful" (#8) Digital Songs: #17 Radio Songs: #2 ^not too horrible, but they both definitely slayed thanks to the radio department. Demi Lovato - "Give Your Heart a Break" (#16) Digital Songs: #21 Radio Songs: #6 Demi Lovato - "Neon Lights" (#36) Digital Songs: #23 Radio Songs: #12 Rihanna - "Love On The Brain" (#5) Digital Songs: #11 Radio Songs: #3 Chris Brown - "Don't Wake Me Up" (#10) Digital Songs: #18 Radio Songs: #8 Ed Sheeran - "Don't" (#9) Digital Songs: #11 Radio Songs: #3 Ed Sheeran - "Photograph" (#10) Digital Songs: #12 Radio Songs: #2 Paramore - "Ain't It Fun" (#10) Digital Songs: #13 Radio Songs: #5 Paramore - "Still Into You" (#24) Digital Songs: #22 Radio Songs: #11 Calvin Harris - "Blame" f/ John Newman (#19) Digital Songs: #19 Radio Songs: #8 Calvin Harris - "I Need Your Love" f/ Ellie Goulding (#16) Digital Songs: #24 Radio Songs: #11 Calvin Harris - "Let's Go" f/ Ne-Yo (#17) Digital Songs: #25 Radio Songs: #8 Katy Perry - "Birthday" (#17) Digital Songs: #26 Radio Songs: #14 Robin Schulz & Lilly Wood - "Prayer In C" (#23) Digital Songs: #29 Radio Songs: #12 Zedd - "Clarity" f/ Foxes (#8) Digital Songs: #12 Radio Songs: #3 Other songs that were recently heavily fueled by radio: Taylor Swift - "Style" Taylor Swift - "Wildest Dreams" Maroon 5 - "Don't Wanna Know" f/ Kendrick Lamar Fall Out Boy - "Uma Thurman" X Ambassadors - "Renegades" X Ambassadors - "Unsteady" Drake - "Too Good" f/ Rihanna The Weeknd - "In The Night" Ellie Goulding - "Burn" Ellie Goulding - "On My Mind" Edited March 27, 2017 by ARTPØP

LoKoPaNdA Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I am ok with Paramore getting radio'd hits last era because they used to slay digital w/their rock stuff but rock radio was such a small format this blocked Alicia's Girl On Fire, kind of. I think it was in the 40s on digital and #6 on the H100 thanks to radio

It's the first 12" single to be certified for 1M units in the USA (mainly because of the B-side, into the groove) Yeah, and Into The Groove went Top 20 on BB's R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. Obviously, at that time, 12" singles could count toward sales on that chart, but not the Hot 100. Since the B-Side was the bigger hit, I don't know why BB didn't switch sides. I know with Gloria Ganers (I probably misspelled her name) signature song, I Will Survive, was actually the B-Side, but BB counted it as the song on the Hot 100. Debates relating to BB's refusal to allow Groove on the Hot 100, and even excluded from the Airplay Chart, have raged on for decades, literally. Since Groove received more airplay than any other Madonna song, charting Angel instead of the much more popular Groove likely cost Madonna a #1 song. All of the other music magazines at that time (Radio and Records [the predecessor of MB] and Cashbox) did allow Groove to chart, and it at least went Top Five on both of those charts.
brianc33710 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This peaked at #8, with a #2 peak in airplay but barely reached the Top 20 in sales due to its availablity limited to a 12" vinyl song. While the parent album was the first Rap CD to sell 10 million copies, his label's choice to not release a cassette single cost Hammer from scoring raps first Hot 100's #1. That achievement belonged to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" later that same year (1990).

Timberlake's Mirrors and Love Ain't A Bad Thing were also much bigger on airplay than sales and streaming.
Green Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Lloyd feat. Lil Wayne - You #1. Radio #18. Digital Songs Demi Lovato - Give Your Heart A Break #6 Radio #21. Digital Sales
Headlock Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Weren't a lot of hits in the mid-2000s airplay driven, since physical single sales had fallen dramatically and it was before the digital era?
MingYouToo Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 We Belong Together. its 16th week @ #1 had it poised at like #26 on the sales charts and like #1 on Radio Songs with like 210M AI
Ratviolo Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Considering recent songs, Don't Wanna Know, Scars To Your Beautiful, LOTB and CTTR come to my mind.
Mr. Adele Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Scars to Your Beautiful and Here Alessia THE QUEEN of Radio Hits
Pacaveli Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Chingy featuring Tyrese - "Pullin' Me Back" (#9); Radio Songs: #1 Digital Song Sales: #36 Edited March 27, 2017 by Pacaveli
TheEdgeOfGaga Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Scars For Your Beautiful was a radio monster but didn't really have that much impact on sales.
thefreak Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 1 hour ago, H-I-M said: More recently, CTTR It's #5 on iTunes now and have been in top 10 for the most part of its chart run until now
brianc33710 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Motivation -- Kelly Rowland/Lil Wayne: #17 overall, #10 airplay, #70 sales. My peaks might be a bit off, but I know Motivation was much higher on airplay than on sales.
