RADIO CHART PREVIEW

What to Look for on Three Key
Mediabase Radio Charts

Heyyyy, buddy! TGIF, right? Well, here's a little glimpse of the radio picture you're likely to encounter next week at three key formats, and don't say we didn't warn ya.

TOP 40
Mr. 305/RCA's Pitbull f/Kesha claims the #1 spot this week, while Capitol's Katy Perry is once again the Greatest Gainer with an 1800+ spin move inside the Top 10 for "Dark Horse." Other 1000+ spins moves this week include Cherrytree/Interscope's Ellie Goulding, "Adore You" by RCA's Miley Cyrus and "Can't Remember to Forget You" by RCA's Shakira f/Rihanna. Meanwhile, with ANOTHER 1000+ spin week, Black Magnetic/ Epic's A Great Big World w/Christina Aguilera looks poised to join the Top 10. Charting this week will be Casablanca/Republic's Martin Garrix with "Animals."

RHYTHMIC
Kid Ink's "Show Me" (RCA) inches closer to the coveted #1 spot this week, with an increase of over 500x. RCA also has Pitbull jumping into the Top 5, with a gain of over 450 spins. The move of the week comes from Columbia's Beyonce, who vaults 15-5, up 800 spins. Capitol's Katy Perry will blast into the Top 10 this week, as she increases over 450 spins. Other huge gainers include YG's "My Hitta" (CTE/Def Jam/IDJ), which is just outside the top 10, Warner Bros.' Jason Derulo, whose "Talk Dirty" will move to the top 25, Chris Brown f/ Lil Wayne's "Loyal" (RCA), "Team" by Lava/Republic's Lorde and Sage The Gemini's "Red Nose" (Empire/Republic); the latter two are both looking at increases in the 250-spin range. 

ALTERNATIVE
On Monday we'll have a new #1 record as "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys (Domino) takes the mantle from 11-week champ Cage the Elephant (RCA). Look for Foster the People (Columbia) to have a super debut at #15 with "Coming of Age. Republic's Phantogram and Island/IDJ's The Airborne Toxic Event are having nice spin weeks; both records are now inside the top 20. Neon Trees (Island/IDJ) will have a good debut with their new single, "Sleeping With a Friend," which should enter the chart right around #32. Sometime next week, indie darlings Kongos will debut with their hot single, "Come With Me Now."

OK, then! Who's drinkin'? Us. Who's buyin'? You.
