Most Added: Ariana Grande finds a way past Anne-Marie
Commercial radio welcomed the return of pop superstar Ariana Grande, with early adds from Nova playing a significant role in her pipping Anne-Marie’s latest offering.
Both Grande’s ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ and Marie’s ‘2002’ received almost identical adds throughout the week, with the exception of Nova. The Hit Network sealed the deal for Grande in the end, adding the song to National Drive.
‘Happier’, the fifth official cut off Ed Sheeran’s multi-Platinum record Divide, gleaned interest from both KIIS stations, Hit’s Fox FM, Hit92.9 Perth, and was the only track picked up by both smooth stations this week.
Vance Joy customarily makes the Top 5 with fresh radio offering ‘Saturday Sun’, while a featured appearance from the one and only Taylor Swift on country act Sugarland’s new single ‘Babe’ enticed the Hit Regional Network and several Nova stations.
