'Memories’ by Maroon 5 was the most played song on Dutch radio stations in January. The track was heard no less than 742 times on various public and commercial channels. The hit by the American band is followed by 'Don't Start Now' by Dua Lipa with 729 plays. The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights' was played 654 times and completes the top 3.

This is shown by data from SoundAware, the company that registers for the music industry which music is played on Dutch TV and radio stations. 'Memories' also was the most played track on Dutch radio channels in December last year. This is their biggest airplay chart success in the Netherlands since 2011 smash hit ‘Moves Like Jagger’.

The Top 20 contains eight hit singles by, partially, Dutch artists. 'Love Don't Hate It' by Eurovision song contest winner Duncan Laurence in sixth position is the biggest hit of them. Record company Universal Music is the main supplier with eight tracks each in January, followed by Sony Music with five and Warner Music and Spinnin' Records with two tracks each.

SoundAware measures and reports on a daily basis the use of music on Dutch public and commercial channels, among others on behalf of the Stichting Nederlandse Top 40, various media agencies, record companies and radio stations.
