I can’t help but bring up
Childish Gambino’s “3005” on
Glassnote. They started working this record in early December; this week we move #40-33, up 122 spins. Now, he’s poised to have an even better week, with
KUBE,
KKUU and
WBTT making the commitment, along with stations like
KQKS moving it up because of research. His fans certainly know who he is; it’s time for radio to reap the benefits of this outstanding artist. “3005” will work for you and your station. Period… Now on to
Columbia, the proud owners of four records inside the Top 10!
John Legend’s “All of Me” came in at #2 on the chart and is currently sitting at #1 on the building chart. It’s going to be a dogfight with
Chris Brown for the coveted spot this week.
Ayelet Schiffman and
James White also have
Pharrell’s “Happy” at #1,
Beyoncé’s “Partition” going #10-7, increasing 450 spins, and
DJ Snake & Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What” moving #11-9, increasing 225 spins. They also look to debut
Calvin Harris’ “Summer” in the next few weeks, while new Pharrell
and
Rita Ora tracks are coming shortly…
John Strazza,
Inca and
Lori G at
RCA are fighting to get Chris Brown’s “Loyal” to #1 this week. It’s #4 on the chart and #2 on the building. They also have
Justin Timberlake’s “Not a Bad Thing” leaping #22-17, gaining 375 spins, as well as
Kid Ink f/Chris Brown’s
“Main Chick” at #26,
Tinashe f/ScHoolboy Q’s “2 On” at #30 and
Pitbull f/GRL’s
“Wild Wild Love” at #37. This week, they impact
Alicia Keys f/Kendrick Lamar’s “It’s On Again,” from
Spider-Man 2…
Rick Sackhiem,
Noah Sheer and
Scott Maness at
Def Jam continue their success with
Jhene Aiko’s “The Worst,” as it climbs #14-12, adding 200 spins. They also have
Iggy Azalea’s
“Fancy” at #14, up 500 spins again.
YG f/Drake’s “Who Do You Love” moves up to #23, and
Ludacris f/Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih & Cashmere Cat’s
“Party Girls” sits at #40. They’ll chart
August Alsina f/B.o.B & Yo Gotti’s “Numb” this coming week, with
Rick Ross f/Lil Wayne’s “Thug Cry” a few weeks away from charting…
Republic has
Young Money f/Drake’s
“Trophies” in the Top 15, gaining 485 spins this week.
Gary Spangler and
Davey Dee also have
Adrian Marcel’s “2 AM” climbing the chart, moving #32-28, and
SoMo’s
“Show Off” at #53…
Lee L’Heureux and
Warner Bros. drop a brand new track by
Jason Derulo f/Snoop Dogg, “Wiggle,” today, which should be a solid follow-up to his #1 record, “Talk Dirty”…
Sujit Kundu and the
Epic staff continue to pound away with
Future f/Pharrell’s “Move That Doh.” It moves inside the Top 25 this week, gaining 175 spins. They also move
Kat Dahlia’s “Crazy” to #31 and have
Bando Jonez’s “Sex You,” as well as
Kesington Kross’ “Gimme Your Love,” just outside the chart…
Franco Immello and
Capitol have
Jennifer Lopez f/French Montana’s “I Luh Ya Papi” at #45 this week… A few records to really be aware of at Pop include the
Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong” (Warner Bros.) and
Tiesto’s “Red Lights” (Republic).
