Monday Morning Mediabase Report: Five Milestones This Week
This week’s Monday Morning Mediabase report notes five key milestones across multiple radio formats, with several notable moves on Country radio and crossover action on Adult Contemporary (AC), Hot AC (HAC), Pop and Urban/R&B. Below is a concise, SEO-friendly summary of the week’s highlights along with the latest chart positions for songs gaining traction.
Top Takeaways
Two of this week’s milestones occurred on Country radio. Chase Rice’s collaboration with Florida Georgia Line, titled “Drinkin’ Beer Talkin’ God Amen,” climbed into the Country top 10 this week. The track was released November 30, 2020, and serves as the debut single from Chase Rice’s project The Album. Another Country milestone belongs to Scotty McCreery: his lead single “You Time,” which anchors his upcoming fourth album, reached the Country top 20. That single was released September 23, 2020.
Gabby Barrett also registered a milestone tied to cross-format success. Her second single, “The Good Ones,” previously reached the top of the Country chart and continues to expand to mainstream formats. Its predecessor, “I Hope,” previously topped Country, Pop, Hot AC and AC charts. This week “The Good Ones” is charting on Adult Contemporary and debuted on Hot AC.
Finally, two former One Direction members continue to see radio momentum. Niall Horan’s duet with Anne‑Marie, “Our Song,” keeps moving up and this week rose into the top 30 on Hot AC. Zayn, with Ingrid Michaelson on “To Begin Again,” jumped into the AC top 40 in only its second week on that chart.
Billboard 200 Note
On the Billboard 200 album chart, Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album climbed into No. 3 this week, rising from No. 4. The album moved approximately 50,000 equivalent album units (-4% from the previous week), according to chart reporting for the same period.
