Mediabase Monday Evening Airplay Chart: Feb 27, 2023

February Chart Highlights and Radio Milestones

As February closes, this week’s radio and chart report highlights eight notable milestones across Adult Contemporary (AC), Hot Adult Contemporary (HAC), Pop, Country and Billboard 200 (BB200) activity. Several artists with reality-show origins — including alumni from X Factor, The Voice, American Idol and Dancing with the Stars — make moves this week. Below is a clear summary of the most significant chart activity and radio airplay gains for the period.

Camila Cabello, who first rose to prominence as a member of Fifth Harmony, advances on Adult Contemporary radio with her duet featuring Ed Sheeran, “Bam Bam,” which climbs to No. 30 on the AC chart (previously No. 32). The track appears on her Familia album released last year. Meanwhile, Fifth Harmony’s breakout hit “Worth It” reappears on the AC chart this week, showing renewed radio interest.

From the X Factor family across the Atlantic, Niall Horan records two notable entries: his single “Heaven,” the lead from his third solo studio album, reaches the Top 30 on the Pop airplay chart and lands inside the Top 40 on Hot AC. His former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles continues to perform strongly on the albums chart: Harry’s House sits at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 with 27,000 equivalent album units this week, down one slot from last week and down 19% in sales velocity.

Country superstar Morgan Wallen remains a fixture on the Billboard 200 with Dangerous: The Double Album at No. 5 this week, registering 44,000 equivalent album units (a one-percent decline from last week). On the Country chart, his new release Thought You Should Know holds at No. 1 for a second consecutive week, while his single “Last Night” breaks into the Top 40 on the Pop chart.

Other Country radio movement includes former The Voice contestant Corey Kent, whose single “Wild as Her” becomes his first Top 10 radio airplay hit. Rising performers from talent shows and mainstream TV continue to make inroads on multiple radio formats.

On the Pop and Rhythmic fronts, Dancing with the Stars alum Tate McRae is featured on Tiësto’s single “10:35,” which is already active on Hot AC and now makes its debut on the Rhythmic chart. From American Idol, Fantasia appears as a featured artist on the Artists for Global Unity track “Why Oh Why,” which climbs into the Top 30 on Urban R&B radio.
