Secret Love picking up major increases at AC radio;

[GoldDustOrphan]

Mediabase's Spincrease chart tabulates current singles with the most increase in spins and in the number of stations playing them.

Stevie is at #10 on this week's Adult Contemporary (AC) Spincrease chart, which is remarkable considering the single was only serviced to radio a few weeks ago. The AC chart is painfully slow to embrace new songs - just look at the gray whiskers on nearly all of the songs above her on this and the proper AC chart. Some of them have been out for over six months, while others such as Firework and F'ckin Perfect have already peaked on the Hot 100 but are finally making a showing on AC.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way has been at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the last four weeks and is breaking iTunes sales records, etc. but even she's behind Stevie. Same for Adele, which is top 20 Hot 100 hit that's had a long lifespan (Adele's album has been #1 for the last two weeks with a remarkable 600,000 copies sold in just the U.S., but AC is still playing catch up.) So, it's fair to say AC radio is embracing Secret Love and the biggest push hasn't even come yet.

On the overall AC chart, Secret Love moves up to #25.
