CFTS is a more traditional pop song, thus it did pretty well on HAC (which is adult pop). If you look at the top songs on rhythmic (The Hills, CFMF, My Way, Flex, Lean On, Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae), CFTS doesn't really fit in there.

Adding on to this, there are a few outliers where pure pop songs can do okay/well on rhythmic. For example, Roar went to #6-7 there

and I think Shake It Off even managed to hit top twenty. I guess it depends on the artist and timing. For the most part, rhythmic
tries to please pop and urban-leaning pop listeners.
I think it also depends on the artist as well. Staples such as Drake, Nicki, Chris Brown, Pitbull, etc. normally always do okay/well there, even if their songs don't fare well on pop radio.
