What’s New

It’s a tie for the Most Added song this week, as Jason Isbell’s “Bury Me” and My Morning Jacket’s “Time Waited” both earned 10 adds for the top spot. The rest of the list is also a tie between Larkin Poe’s “Easy Love Pt. 1,” Mumford & Sons’ “Rushmere” and Guster’s “When We Were Stars,” as each single saw nine stations commit.

Next week, look out for the return of Craig Finn with "People Of Substance," and lend an ear to “I’m Alright” by Johnnyswim. As always, you can find the complete Going For Adds here.
