BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED: Two acts join our Vibe-Raters round-up of buzzing artists this week. Eardrummas/Interscope's Mike Will Made-It scores with "23," the irresistible hip-hop track featuring guests Miley Cyrus, Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa; the gifted producer is responsible for no fewer than eight tracks on Cyrus' upcoming Bangerz and has worked with Rihanna, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Rick Ross, among others. "23" is #14 at iTunes, blowing up at Urban and Rhythmic, and earning mondo views of its Miley-powered video. The other newcomer is Columbia's distaff pop-rock trio Haim; their album, Days Are Gone is #4 at iTunes, while video love abounds for single "The Wire," which is seeing early action at PoMo radio and SiriusXM. In other Vibe news, PRMD/Island/IDJ's Avicii jumps from #5 to #1, while Lava/Republic's Lorde, XO/Republic's The Weeknd, RCA's Cyrus, Virgin's Bastille and Glassnote's CHVRCHES are among those moving up. See the whole kit and caboodle here. (10/2p)
