Mediabase Report: Six Notable Milestones This Week
This week’s Mediabase report highlights six notable chart milestones across multiple formats, with several artists registering important gains on Pop, Country, HAC (Hot AC), AC, Active Rock, RHY, and UR&B radio panels. The biggest movements come from Morgan Wallen, who posts multiple entries across Country, Pop and HAC, and from a handful of artists with ties to televised singing competitions who continue to impact radio playlists.
Morgan Wallen had a particularly strong week. His single “Last Night” is now re-entering the Country Top 40 while already performing well on Pop and HAC radio. Wallen’s latest single “One Thing at a Time” also advanced higher on Country radio this week. In album activity, One Thing at a Time debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 501,000 equivalent album units, driven largely by streaming. The album’s considerable streaming footprint—which includes 36 tracks totaling 498.28 million on-demand streams—contributed the majority of equivalent album units (approximately 76% from streaming), with 382K SEA (streaming-equivalent albums), 111.5K in traditional sales and 7.5K in TEA (track-equivalent albums). His previous release, Dangerous: The Double Album, remains on the Billboard 200, marking its 110th non-consecutive week on the chart and remaining within the top 10—an impressive longevity milestone.
Artists with backgrounds on televised talent shows also appear in this week’s report. Niall Horan, who has joined The Voice as a coach, saw his song “Heaven” climb into the Top 20 on HAC and reach a new Pop radio peak. Camila Cabello, a product of The X Factor U.S., continues to see radio success with “Bam Bam” featuring Ed Sheeran, which moved into the AC Top 30 this week. Jax, who gained recognition on American Idol, scored two milestones this week: “Cinderella Snapped” moved into the Pop Top 40 after its recent adds and also debuted on HAC radio, while “Victoria’s Secret” remains active on AC radio.
