Ariana Grande kicks off 2024 with comeback single ‘yes, and?’ debuting at No. 28 on the latest AirCheck National Radio Airplay Chart. Nova and KIIS networks were quick out of the gates, recording a total of 59 spins nationally within the first 24 hours of release. Overall, Nova 100 and Nova 106.9 recorded the most spins with 39 plays each.
‘Saving Up’ by Grammy Award nominee Dom Dolla pushes up 12 spots to a new peak at No. 25 after a gain of 84 spins (+27.8%). CADA was the top contributor with 33 spins. It’s the sixth-highest charting song by a local artist with Troye Sivan owning the Top 2 singles (‘Got Me Started’ No. 9 and ‘Rush’ No. 12).
Paul Russell’s ‘Lil Boo Thang’ rebounds to the top of the chart after dropping to No. 3 last week. It’s now nine non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 for the viral hit, which first reached the summit in November last year. ‘Lil Boo Thang’ has spent nearly half of its 19 weeks on air at No. 1, a rare chart feat.
