Once again, Panic at the Disco’s “High Hopes” maintains its large audience advantage, 2.106 million, over Mediabase’s most-heard Alternative Airplay Chart. This is in spite of HH’s spin deficit of over 500 detections as compared to the most-played song, Cage the Elephant’s “Ready to Let Go.” Rankings for this article use are from Mediabase’s (MB) All Stations plus Recurrents (AS + RC) Alternative Airplay Chart (AAC).
How “High Hopes” Spins Compare to the Other Top Five Songs
In fact, HH has fallen to number four in spins, trailing not only “Ready,” but also Twenty-One Pilots’ “Chlorine,” and Shaed’s “Trampoline.” The other “out-of-place” song belongs to Marshmello/Bastille’s “Happier,” which ranks at number three among the most-heard songs, but number six in spins.
