When you say goes to radio. Does that mean it is on the equivalent of UK play list and will definitely get played?
As far as I know, WMYB has already been sent to radio because it is already receiving some airplay.
The date shown (called adds date or impact date) is an indication to the radio stations that the label would really really like them to start playing the song and add it to their playlist, so that they all start around the same time, which is better for charting. It is when the label is going to start contacting radio stations regularly to remind them that the song is worth playing, and also give them some incentive (cough cough) to do so.
It doesn't mean that all the radio stations will add immediately, or even add at all.
The Mediabase Addboard is updated on Sunday evening US time, so Monday Morning our time. So we will have the stats for this week tomorrow morning. The present stats are for airplay up to Saturday 14/01.

Sorry to quote myself but I didn't really pay attention as WMYB is only played by 1 US station, the others are Canadian, so it doesn't seem that it has been sent to the US stations yet.
The rest of my post still stands though.
WMYB had been played in a handful of radio stations in the US late last year thanks to enthusiatic directioners who bombarded their respective local stations with requests. There was even one station who blocked a few directioners for flooding their request line but eventually gave in and played the song!!:)
