Calvin Harris and Kasabian’s “Release the Pressure” spends a fourth week at No. 1 on the WARM Global Dance Radio chart dated April 4.
Released in early February, the track leads the latest ranking with 700-plus spins across more than 200 monitored stations worldwide in the March 20-26 tracking week, according to World Airplay Radio Monitor.
The song has also been climbing Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, reaching a new No. 11 high on the latest ranking.
ANOTR’s “Talk to You,” featuring 54 Ultra, jumps 7-2 for a new best on WARM Global Dance Radio. Rounding out the top five, FISHER’s “Rain” falls 2-3, Milky and Mall Grab’s “Just the Way You Are” holds at its No. 4 high and Gordo and Reiner Zonneveld’s “Loco Loco” drops 3-5.
“Just the Way You Are,” notably, samples Milky’s 2002 hit of the same name, which spent five weeks at No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay and has since become a house music classic. Australian electronic trio PNAU released a new remix of the song on March 20.
David Guetta once again has the most songs — four — on the full 100-position WARM Global Dance Radio chart: “Upside Down (Extended Mix),” with Jaden Bojsen (No. 12); “Save Me Tonight,” with Jennifer Lopez (No. 19); “Crazy,” with Matt Sassari, Jack Back and Amira Eldine (No. 48); and “Locked In,” with MORTEN and featuring Trippie Redd (No. 92).
