Published January 29, 2024

The recent Mediabase pop radio airplay chart has introduced a mix of seasoned favorites and new contenders to its roster of the Top 40 singles. This week's chart not only showcases Justin Timberlake's 'Selfish' at number 20 but also marks notable entries from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Drake, and Jelly Roll.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Climbs the Chart

British pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor has achieved a striking comeback with 'Murder on the Dancefloor.' The track, which initially gained popularity in the early 2000s, has re-entered the public consciousness after being featured in the project 'Saltburn.' This renewed attention has propelled the song to number 34 on the Top 40, accumulating 960 spins in just one week -- an increase of 578 from the previous tracking period.

Drake's Collaboration Hits Top 40

Canadian rapper Drake also enjoys a spot in the Top 40 with his latest hit 'Rich Baby Daddy,' a collaboration featuring Sexyy Red & SZA. The song is now at number 39, moving up two places since the last chart, and accruing 552 spins -- a modest rise of 29 plays.

Jelly Roll Joins the Top 40 Club

Nashville’s own Jelly Roll makes his mark too, as 'Save Me' featuring Lainey Wilson makes a five-spot leap to secure the 40th position. The song has been played 523 times, showing a significant increase of 249 spins from the previous week.
