Pitbull and Bon Jovi have already made ‘Now or Never’ a hit on some of Billboard’s dance and electronic charts. This week, it’s making its debut on pop charts. The song’s success on the radio shows that fans are supporting it, and radio stations are backing it too.
‘Now or Never’ is Bon Jovi’s 17th hit on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. They’ve had three this year. Pitbull also reaches a milestone with this song. ‘Now or Never’ is his 10th hit on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, and his first in almost 10 years.
His last hit was in 2015 with ‘Time of Our Lives.’ The song also appears on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, where it is Number 30 this week. It could move up again as it gets more radio play.

While Bon Jovi is new to this chart, Pitbull is not. ‘Now or Never’ is his 29th song on the Billboard list of top dance and electronic tracks. Bon Jovi’s ‘It’s My Life’ was a big hit and is still played at their shows. It helped the band make a comeback in 2000 after a five-year break from the top 40. The song reached Number 33, and it took years before they had another hit like it.
Bon Jovi’s album ‘Forever’ debuted at Number 5 in June but quickly dropped off the Billboard 200. However, the song ‘Living Proof’ reached Number 40 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart.
