RE: Free in Hot AC Top 40! (now Top 30)
It's a slow build to say the least, but it's hard to deny that "Free" keeps building. The increase to 775 spins overall (that includes some Top 40, I guess) is an increase of 84 from last week, and last week was its biggest increase ever (95 spins). While the song still is unknown by the vast majority of Americans, it has done reasonably well for a first single by a new artist. Here is a week-by-week count of radio spins, the increase from the previous week, and the chart position for the song:
April 2 - 88
April 9 - 149 (+61)
April 16 - 209 (+60)
April 23 - 298 (+89)
April 30 - 312 (40 HAC) (+14)
May 7 - 400 (38 HAC) (+88)
May 14 - 431 (34 HAC) (+31)
May 21 - 497 (33 HAC) (+66)
May 28 - 531 (31 HAC) (+34)
June 4 - 596 (29 HAC) (+65)
June 11 - 691 (27 HAC) (+95)
June 18 - 775 (28 HAC) (+84)
