Beyonce sets 2006 airplay record / Second week at #1
Beyonce’s Irreplaceable hits a new 2006 high in total audience (total radio airplay combined with number of listeners tuned in to each airing of a song), edging Mary J. Blige’s standard for Be Without You established earlier in the year. The Beyonce ballad also racks up its second week at No. 1, opening a huge lead over the new No. 2, Akon & Snoop Dogg’s I Wanna Love You, according to Nielsen BDS/Arbitron figures.
