Debut No. 21 "Ghosttown" Madonna
Madonna debuts on Adult Contemporary with "Ghosttown," the second single from her new album, Rebel Heart. First single "Living for Love" reached No. 36 on Pop Songs, aided by concentrated plays on iHeartMedia-owned stations; spins on certain AC stations in the chain likewise spur the start of "Ghosttown." (It bubbles under Adult Pop Songs, also thanks to iHeartMedia plays in that format).

The bow of "Ghosttown" ends Madonna's longest break from charting on AC: she last reached the list with "Jump," which hit No. 21 in January 2007. She makes her 36th visit to the tally. Since her first week on the chart in June 1984 (with "Borderline"), only Elton John (43), Celine Dion (41) and Rod Stewart (40) have made more appearances.

*** No. 1 (1 week)***/Greatest Gainer "Ain't Worth The Whiskey" Cole Swindell
Cole Swindell scores his second No. 1 on Country Airplay, as breakup anthem "Ain't Worth the Whiskey" jumps 3-1. Swindell previously led with "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight," which topped the Oct. 11, 2014 chart. His prior, and first, chart entry, "Chillin' It," reached No. 2 a year ago this month.

Trivial trivia: perhaps surprisingly, given the subject's traditional prominence in the genre, Swindell's new leader is just the third No. 1 on Country Airplay (which began in 1990) with the word "whiskey" in its title. The others to set the bar (pun intended) so high: Frankie Ballard's "Sunshine & Whiskey" (November 2014) and Toby Keith's "Whiskey Girl" (July 2004).
