Encouraging to see alt playing a smash that has essentially no promo budget attached to it. Serious stations should play real hits. Will be amusing (and an indictment of Mediabase) to watch how far this will go with the pay for plays largely sitting it out. Mediabase can end the scam of the most obnoxious pay for plays today if they wanted to. They know exactly what’s going on. They choose not to act.

To my knowledge, I don't think any of the Mediabase-only stations have added this yet.

The Active leaners may sit this one out too, to be fair. The Active leaners in my experience tend to be hesitant with TikTok-stuff. KPNT, for example, is running zero of the current algorithm songs, even though some of it like "Scared To Start" fits into the softer side of their wheelhouse.

And it's probably being tracked on the pop boards, but this is also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, Hozier's first Hot 100 #1 (Take Me to Church peaked at #2). Interesting quote from a Billboard panel on how surprising this is: "Plus, country- and folk-adjacent pop-rock has certainly invaded the upper reaches of the Hot 100 over the past six months, with artists like Noah Kahan, Zach Bryan, Teddy Swims and Benson Boone all scoring smashes with their respective versions of the guitar-based renaissance. So, yes, still surprising to see a Hozier single atop the Hot 100, but certainly far from jaw-dropping."

Is this a contender for #1 year end?

Is this a contender for #1 year end? Maybe on AAA, but blink is still on Billboard so we have to see when their song leaves. Plus this has yet to get most of the Mediabase-onlies that will help its performance on that chart, although this has finally started to get a few. (KMAX, KITS, WFZZ and WJMZ added this)

Hozier (sort of) gets his second Billboard AAA #1 of the year with "Too Sweet." He was also credited as a guest on Noah Kahan's "Northern Attitude" at the beginning of the year. This is his fifth solo #1, following "Take Me to Church" (2014), "Nina Cried Power" (2018), "Eat Your Young" (2023), and "Francesca" (2023).
This is the sixth Billboard AAA #1 of 2024.

I can’t believe Francesca couldn’t even chart on Alt. That song is a masterpiece
