Mediabase Monday Evening Chart Update: March 27, 2023

Weekly Radio and Chart Update

This week’s radio and chart roundup highlights a mix of breakout moments and steady performers across formats. New singles continue to climb pop and country playlists, collaborations re-emerge on adult contemporary, and a major country artist holds firm at the top of the Billboard 200. Below is a concise, organized look at the key movements and core album statistics observed on Monday evening.

Highlights

One notable breakout is Jax, who finished third on season 14 of American Idol — the season where Scott Borchetta served as a mentor and Nick Fradiani won. Since Idol, Jax built a song-driven following on social media and scored a viral hit with “Victoria’s Secret.” Her follow-up single, “Cinderella Snapped,” is now gaining traction on pop radio and recently entered the Top 30 on the Pop chart.

Camila Cabello’s collaboration with Ed Sheeran, “Bam Bam,” also earned renewed attention this week as it returned to the Top 30 on Adult Contemporary (AC) radio.

Album Notes — Morgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen continues to command the Billboard 200. For the third straight week, One Thing at a Time remains at No. 1. This week the album registered 209.5K in equivalent album units, a 19% decline from last week’s 259K (and a larger drop from the prior week’s 501K). Breakdown of this week’s consumption shows 194K SEAS (stream equivalent album sales), which corresponds to 256.13 million streams and reflects a 17% decrease. Track-equivalent albums (TEAs) totaled roughly 3K, down 12%, while pure sales were 12.5K, a 41% decline.

Wallen’s 2020 release Dangerous: The Double Album remains in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 as well, holding the No. 7 position with 42K equivalent albums, a modest 2% decline.
