1st Wave was playing a dance remix of a new U2 song? I thought they only played new wave/post punk from 1976-83...
First time I've heard ytbt with a good stereo system turned up loud. If this isn't one of U2's biggest hits then they just won't ever really have one again. I guess that's a stretch since I've only heard this song for a week now...but it sounded really good, especially the Channel 33 version.
Edit: Ch 33 is called "1st wave"

Is there a video clip for this song? I keep wanting to see it pop up on the various cable music channels that we have here in Australia but there's no sign of it.
Good jump up in spins today on Hot AC, where it adds 40 spins.
Slow and steady gains on the other 3 formats.
Good news there for Hot AC. Any word on just regular AC format? Or are they not pushing that until the 22nd or 23rd?? I forget.
I would think that these two formats are where the real platform for this song is going to be.
No sign of it on the top 50 for AC, but Cosmo might know if it is beyond that?
Here are the updates I have from Mediabase as of 8p ET in order of Format size/importance.
You're the Best Thing About Me:
Top 40:
-Not currently charting (haven't in years)
-1 station added the song (only 1 station in El Paso…but it broke through the format!!) El Paso continues to rock out to this song playing it 24 times over the past week…
Just so I know, does this top 40 refer to the UK singles chart?
What time today will the official UK singles charts be released? In the midweek charts it was out of the top 100 completely

I can't see past the top 50 but my understanding is that it's being pushed to that format next week. It was on the "spincrease" chart with 3 spins up w/w from 3 stations. I want to say the song is just outside the top 50 for this format because the #50 song has 15 spins.
Either way, the song has only been out for 2 weeks and is still gaining on all 4 formats that it's charting on. I'm of the belief that this song is going to be more successful than most think.
Wonder if they are going to do any promo stuff for Best Thing (or SOE generally) in the 11 odd days they have free in the schedule between the San Diego show and the Mexico City Shows (assuming that those shows actually go ahead?).

Kworb hasn't updated yet, but think it has jumped another 38 spins on Hot AC today.
This is still a cool link to look at. U2 “YOU’RE THE BEST THING ABOUT ME” | See and Hear What's Popular on Radio This Week
Also, this was the link that I was trying to find. Says it will start to impact Hot AC on September 25th. Still no definitive date on pushing to AC... Which is strange. I still think that would be their primary outlet for this song, since you know... they are old.

2076 spins and 7.3m impressions now ... steady rise. Don't see kygo remix yet.
I would note SFS was a top 10 on AC chart and almost crossed over to top 40.. a number of stations started picking it up. My nieces and nephews even recognized it on the radio.

Yeah, saw that yesterday too. Wasn't sure why they had that many spins total? The total AI looks about right, but the spins look about 300 too much? Does it also count spins on a format where it is not in the top 50 somehow?
