YOUR HOT NEW RELEASES: Is it just coincidence that the arrival of spring finds Pop radio looking so summery? Just asking. In any case, Capitol’s Aussie lads 5 Seconds of Summer are definitely generating some heat with huge pre-orders as they impact Top 40. And there's sunshine in PoMo hearts with the arrival of new Black Keys music.

Calvin Harris, “Summer” (Columbia)
5 Seconds of Summer, “She Looks So Perfect” (Capitol)

RHYTHM
August Alsina f/B.o.B & Yo Gotti, “Numb” (Def Jam/IDJ)

Of course, spring in 2014 means East Coasters can go ahead and break out the "light" snow shovel, while folks out West will want to slather on some SPF 900. (3/24a)
