And speaking of huge streaming numbers, Sia f/Sean Paul’s “Cheap Thrills” is #3 at Shazam globally and #5 at Spotify globally; it’s also now on 115+ stations and moves to #36.

Jay Shannon of iHeart Dallas says, “Sounds amazing on the air, instant familiarity for CHR and adult CHR. It’s early on and we’re already seeing strong Shazam interest in Dallas as well. You need to take a strong look at this.”
