A quick congratulations goes out to John E Kage, Burhman and the entire staff of KQKS Denver for pulling off another amazing Summer Jam. Once again it was a sellout. Iggy Azalea, Kid Ink, Sage the Gemini, Tech N9ne, August Alsina and more gave the fans what they came to see, which is just another reason why KS107 is not only the market leader but also one of the best Rhythm radio stations in the country… Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” holds the #1 spot for a second week in a row. Def Jam’s Rick Sackhiem, Noah Sheer and Scott Maness also have YG f/Drake’s “Who Do You Love” in the Top 10 and gaining 300 spins and August Alsina’s “Numb” at #29; they’re looking to debut Jeremih f/YG’s “Don’t Tell ‘Em” this coming week… RCA is running like a well-oiled machine, with five records in the Top 15 this week. Chris Brown’s “Loyal” sits at #5, Justin Timberlake’s “Not a Bad Thing” is at #6, Tinashe f/ScHoolboy Q’s “2 On” jumps #11-8, up 320 spins, Kid Ink f/Chris Brown’s “Main Chick” goes to #11, also up 300 spins, and Usher’s “Good Kisser” moves #16-12, gaining nearly 400 spins. John Strazza, Inca and Lori G also have Magic!’s “Rude” at #27, up 425 spins, and Becky G’s “Shower”, which will debut this coming week. Talk about a full plate... At Republic, Gary Spangler and Davey Dee have Ariana Grande f/Iggy Azalea’s “Problem” poised to be the next #1. It jumps #5-3, with an increase of over 1,000 spins! They also have Lil Wayne f/Drake’s “Believe Me” moving #19-15, with an increase of 320 spins, and Nicki Minaj’s “Pills N Potions” vaulting #30-19, up 830 spins. Adrian Marcel’s “2 AM” had a solid week, climbing to #21, as did Sage the Gemini’s “College Drop,” which is at #32. They’re about to debut DJ Khaled’s “They Don’t Love You No More”… Ayelet Schiffman and James White at Columbia have Calvin Harris’ “Summer” at #17, gaining 250 spins this week. They also take Pharrell Williams’ “Come Get It Bae” Top 25, after gaining 350 spins. Rita Ora’s “I Will Never Let You Down” is at #55, and Beyoncé’s “Pretty Hurts” impacts today—that’ one’s sure to be in the Most Added column… Warner Bros.Lee L’Heureux has two records that have huge sales, huge Top 40 chart numbers and massive Shazam numbers. That said, Jason Derulo f/Snoop Dogg’s “Wiggle” moves into the Top 10 this week, with a gain of 455 spins. Derulo’s on fire right now. Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong” is another impressive climber, as it moves #36-31 this week. It’ll have its best increase yet this coming week… Glassnote’s Nick P continues to grow and develop Childish Gambino’s “3005.” It jumps to #13 with an increase of 230 spins. The record moves to power at KQKS, KOPW and more, with many other increases, and it’s a week or so away from Top 10... Sujit Kundu and team Epic have four records on the chart, led by Future’s “Move That Doh,” which is at #16 this week, gaining over 200 spins. They also have Kat Dahlia’s “Crazy” at #26, TeeFlii’s “24 Hours” at #34 and Yo Gotti’s “I Know,” which debuted this week.
