\n\t\u201cMan I Need,\u201d released and promoted through Polydor\/Island\/REPUBLIC, knocks Tank\u2019s \u201cControl\u201d from the summit. The former champ slips to No. 3 after a two-week reign.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith its new triumph, \u201cMan I Need\u201d adds a third Billboard<\/em> chart radio crown, following a six-week run atop the Pop Airplay chart in January \u2013 February and three weeks at No. 1 on Adult Pop Airplay in February. It\u2019s the first song to lead all three lists since Teddy Swims\u2019 \u201cLose Control\u201d captured three weeks atop Adult R&B Airplay, two terms on Pop Airplay and four weeks on Adult Pop Airplay in 2024. Among songs by women, \u201cMan I Need\u201d is the first track to complete this particular triple play since Adele\u2019s \u201cHello\u201d achieved one, four and seven weeks, respectively, on the radio rankings in 2015-16.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song\u2019s cross-format appeal echoes the wide popularity for \u201cMan I Need,\u201d which rode a wave of airplay and streaming support to a No. 2 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 and a 20-week (and counting!) stretch in the chart\u2019s top 10. Led by the momentum, Dean won the Grammy Award for best new artist at this year\u2019s ceremony on Feb. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, \u201cMan I Need\u201d continues to scale two other radio charts. Its coronation on Adult R&B Airplay boosts its fortunes on the R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B\/hip-hop stations. There, it climbs 20-19 with 5 million in audience, up 6% from last week. Additionally, it holds at No. 8 on Adult Contemporary.<\/p>\n

\n\tThrough its strength across formats, \u201cMan I Need\u201d repeats at No. 2 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart for a seventh consecutive week and ninth total time in the runner-up spot. The single is a former champ there, with three weeks at No. 1 in February.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
