Olivia Dean's 'Man I Need' Tops Billboard Charts

On April 7th, Olivia Deans, Man I Need, just hit number 1 on Billboard's Adobe R&B Airplay

Chart for the week dated April 11th.

It jumped from number 5, becoming the most played track on those US Adobe R&B stations

during the tracking period from March 27th to April 2nd.

The song bump tanks control out of the top spot, sending it down to number 3 after a two

week run at the summit.

Based through Polydor Island and Republic, this marks Deans 3rd Radio Chart Crown on Billboard,

following 6 weeks of top pop airplay in.

January and February, plus 3 weeks on a dope pop airplay, that same February, fans in

the industry are buzzing because it's the first track to lead all 3 charts since Teddy

Swims is loose control last year.

For women artists, it's the first triple play since Adele's Hello, back in 2015-16.

That cross-format power helped it peak at number 2 on the Hot 100 and stay in the top

10 for 20 weeks straight, even landing Dean the Grammy for Best New Artist on February

1st.

Meanwhile, the single keeps climbing elsewhere, moving from number 20 to 19 on R&B hip-hop

airplay with 5 million audience impressions.

Up 6 percent, it holds steady at number 8 on a dope contemporary too.

What I need is locked in at number 2 on the All Genre Radio Songs Chart for its 7th

straight week there, 9th overall after ruling it for.

Three weeks back in February, this run shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
