The week at a glance

What changed

“Let Me Forget You” moves up to No. 2

Warriner & LORYN — “Let Me Forget You” climbed from No. 8 to No. 2 in the weekly chart, with 322 plays against 284. A week earlier, stations played it more and more as the weekend approached. Now the climb has settled into a steady 44 to 48 plays a day on 10 stations, mostly Europa Plus New and Europa Plus Top 40. Баста & Моя Мишель — “Если я буду танцевать” is still No. 1, but its lead has shrunk to 33 plays. Last week it was 60.

“Manhattan” jumps 32 places

The biggest leap in the top 20 belongs to Carlita & SOFI TUKKER — “Manhattan”: from No. 44 to No. 12, with 221 plays against 156. The run began last weekend, with 28 plays on Saturday, October 3, and 32 on Sunday. Since then it has aired 29 to 33 times every day. Seven in ten of its plays came from Europa Plus Top 40 and DFM. Two more songs moved up nearby: HUGEL, French Montana, David Guetta & Aidan Martin — “Shine” from No. 45 to No. 23, and Topic & Carteblanche — “Lucky Ones” from No. 26 to No. 15.

IOWA drops out of the top ten

IOWA — “МЫ” fell from No. 9 to No. 28, with 74 fewer plays (179 against 253). The slide started on October 3. Before that, the song aired 38 to 41 times a day; that Saturday it got 27, and all of this week between 24 and 27. That looks like a new, lower level rather than one weak day. On the same Saturday, stations also cut back on Градусы — “На ресницах”, which fell from No. 18 to No. 56 with 139 plays against 198. Our data does not show why both songs dropped on the same day.

Radio 7 Vintage turns to Michael Jackson

Outside the Top 100, the clearest change came from Radio 7 Vintage. A week earlier, the station played none of the 12 Michael Jackson songs that now take 12 of the first 20 rows of the weekly Radar. This week they aired there 156 times. Separately, Sam Feldt & ÁSDÍS — “Need That Love” reached 73 plays against 24, with DFM joining Hit FM.

What happened to last week's forecasts

We checked the three questions from the previous issue.

  • ✓ confirmed — “Если я буду танцевать”: 355 plays against a threshold of 340, still No. 1.
  • ✓ confirmed — “What If?”: 232 plays and No. 10, three places higher.
  • ? still unclear — “Primadonna”: No. 22 with 195 plays. It left the top 15 but stayed above the weakening threshold of 180.

What to check next week

  • Will “Let Me Forget You” stay in the top three?
  • Will “Manhattan” hold its place in the top 15?
  • Will “Если я буду танцевать” keep No. 1?

Method and comparison limits

This week stations logged 544,204 plays, 77,743 a day on average; the week before had 546,000 (−0.3%). The totals can be compared directly: on every day of both weeks our data came from the same 181 stations out of 183. Different tracks is a daily average (37,134); we do not count distinct recordings across the whole week.

Positions and weekly plays come from the official chart: all seven days passed with 183 sources against a minimum of 165, with no exclusions. Day-level numbers come from the daily analytics.

Radar compares the same set of 183 stations in both weeks. It matches recordings by artist and title with medium reliability, so different versions may be counted separately.

Plays show what stations aired. They say nothing about how many people listened. The daily mood profile is no longer published: it barely changed from day to day.

Next-week verification thresholds
  • “Let Me Forget You”: confirmed at 300 plays or more and a top-three place; weakened below 270.
  • “Manhattan”: confirmed at 210 plays or more and a top-15 place; weakened below 180.
  • “Если я буду танцевать”: confirmed at No. 1 with 330 plays or more; weakened below 300.
