By the numbers posted by mariah4life, the song had an AI of 6.9 million yesterday, just slightly lower than the 7.1 number from Sunday. The song is fine at radio and didn't really lose anything, there's no way to compare well with 32 million AI in a day (songs at the very top of the airplay chart are only averaging 15 million). What matters is the day over day spins/AI. Luckily the folks at radio and retail understand the charts completely.
Naturally it's better to see growth at radio than the slight regression from Sunday to Monday, but morning shows and weekly specialty programs can sometimes cause total weekend spins to be higher than weekdays.
