Swedish House Mafia just beats back Taylor Swift for most popular Atlanta song this week 

  • comment(2)

Don't you worry child
"Don't You Worry Child" is the most played song in Atlanta.

By Rodney Ho

It's been awhile since a Swedish act has gone No. 1 in America. Welcome to Swedish House Mafia, a progressive trio, with its catchy, seductive song "Don't You Worry Child," that might make you briefly forget Abba, Ace of Base or Roxette.

The song is actually the most-played tune in Atlanta based on airplay on just three stations: Power 96-1 (a whopping 134 times), sister station Wild 105.7 (128) and Q100 (70). Star 94 hasn't added the song yet and neither as B98.5.

Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" is only seven spins behind but is heard on all five pop stations.

Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" lasted six weeks on top and is now at No. 3. (Power 96.1 has already dropped it down to 18 spins the past week) His follow-up single "When I Was Your Man" is rapidly gaining spins.
