KFRH Las Vegas led all Pop Airplay reporters with 45 plays for "Star" in the tracking week, followed by KREV San Francisco (37), WKSC Chicago (27) and KLCA Reno, Nevada (24).

"'Star' has a unique sound that top 40 is missing right now," says KLCA program director Bill Schulz. "It's a great balance record for sound and tempo."

"Star," which was co-written by Georgia Ku, Jesse Saint John, Diederik van Elsas and Parris Warrington, is from LOONA's set [12:00], which hit No. 4, marking the group's sixth top 10, on the World Albums chart in November.
