its simple: A really good song that was part of one of the biggest movies this year, massive mass appeal and its being played on basically every radio format. Do you have an idea now sis?
So the AI and Mediabase Airplay Impression Charts diverged a but today. Here are the totals and rankings for the Top 5 on AI:
1) Earned It 185.921 +1.308
2) Uptown Funk 184.373 -3.109
3) Sugar 184.357 - 2.242
4) Love Me Like You Do 182.654 -0.890
5) Style 153.606 -2.881
So my guesstimates on audience weren't as bad as I thought, though this shows UF is #2, not Sugar as on Mediabase, and LMLYD still lost impressions, but not quite as many, and not to under 180 million. Style is still way behind, but still at #5, and Swift's loss on AI is much smaller than on MB.
So the Top 4 songs finished with a range of only 3.267 million impressions between #1 & #4. That's the tightest I've seen it since I started following this website a little over one year ago.
