By the way, Renegades smashed the spin record on alternative.
Most Spins, Alternative (All Stations)
1. X Ambassadors - Renegades 3,481
2. Foo Fighters - Something From Nothing 3,316
3. Milky Chance - Stolen Dance 3,312
4. Vance Joy - Riptide 3,190
5. WALK THE MOON - Shut Up And Dance 3,131
It looks like virtually every format lost audience impressions with this realignment, not just a few. So Mediabase may have done some research and determined their impression totals were too high. The impressions lost at one format didn't show up anywhere else.

I just don't get pop radio. One is has been in the top 10 on iTunes for a month and the other is #27 and has worse streaming but it doesn't seem to matter. they do this all the time with so many songs. I understand Cool For The Summer is catchy and tailor made for radio but still

Good for them! I'm pretty sure it's not the all-time record though, the 90s had a ton of songs to pass 3K spins and some even did in the 2000s, Alternative has lost a lot of power since then.

It's because they're smarter than the GP No but seriously Demi just has that radio-ready sound and if radio just followed what was happening on itunes things wouldn't get interesting and many songs wouldnt have had the chance to become the big sellers they are now

I disagree. If radio followed the iTunes chart it'd play songs people actually want to hear & it's be full of variety.
The reason radio can't follow iTunes exactly is because iTunes only measures what people like, not what people dislike. On iTunes, if you like a song, you can influence its position on the chart by buying it; if you dislike the song, there's nothing you can do to negatively influence its chart position. But with radio, surveys give you the option to say you don't like a song, so negative opinions are factored in. So even if a song is selling really well on iTunes, radio might not play it if it has a very high negative score.
Any updates for "Run Away With Me" by Carly Rae Jepsen?
This song deserves to be MASSIVE.

Songs that sell really well usually don't get negative call out scores to my knowledge,
