“Body Like a Back Road,” Sam Hunt’s first single from his upcoming MCA Nashville album, leads the Biggest Movers on the Shazam USA Top 100 chart, rising 164 slots to #34. And if the voice sounds familiar on the week’s second biggest winner, think back to season five of American Idol.
The voice on “Obvi” (Port22), the new single from EDM DJ Sanjoy, is that of Elliott Yamin, who finished third on Idol in 2006. Yamin last released a full album in 2012; Sanjoy put out an album 10 months ago with an intriguing array of singers.
Imagine Dragons’ “Believer” (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope) is the only song from a Super Bowl ad to appear in the Top 5 of the week’s Biggest Movers; it appeared in a Nintendo spot. Big Sean’s heavily debated single, “No Favors” (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) featuring Eminem, is up 120 slots.
Also among those making a big move: the new one from Columbia's Russ.
Marian Hill’s “Down” (Photo Finish/Republic) is picking up steam in the U.K. where it is the week’s second biggest mover behind Stormzy’s “Big For Your Boots,” which is eyeing a Top 10 debut on the Official Singles Chart.
