Among all acts, “Flowers” ties for the sixth-longest Adult Pop Airplay command. Here’s a recap of the list’s longest-leading No. 1s, as the format has segued from a hot adult contemporary focus at its start to a more alternative lean in the late ‘90s and into the 2000s, and a shift back toward purer pop in more recent years.

Damien M Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Pop culture is suffering from a lack of superstars/bankable stars. Miley, Drake, Taylor, Beyoncé— we haven’t had anyone on that level in years
