Congratulations are in order for
Kevin Cruise, who takes over as
PD of
KWYD/Boise. Kevin teams up with
APD/morning-show
host
Tony Tecate. Not a lot of movement inside the Top 10 this week…
Columbia keeps
Beyoncé f/Jay Z’s “Drunk in Love” in its place as the #1 record for a third week. The jump of the week once again goes to
Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.” He was up another 830 spins, and shows no signs of slowing down.
Ayelet Schiffman and
James White are really doing a bang-up job this quarter. They also have
John Legend’s
“All of Me” at #13, with an increase of 300 spins,
DJ Snake & Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What” jumping to #20 and up over 200 spins, and the
new Beyoncé track, “Partition,” vaulting to #26 and gaining 445 spins. Make sure you spend some time with
DJ Cassidy f/Robin Thicke & Jessie J’s “Calling All Hearts,” which they’ll impact in the next few weeks…
RCA continues to deliver as
Chris Brown’s “Loyal” moves to #9 this week, increasing 220 spins.
John Strazza,
Inca, and
Lori G also have
Shakira f/Rihanna’s “Can’t Remember to Forget You” on the chart at #37 and still developing. They’re impacting
Kid Ink f/Chris Brown’s “Main Chick” this coming week. They also have
Pitbull f/GRL’s “Wild Wild Love,” which is off and running,
Justin Timberlake’s “Not a Bad Thing,” which is just getting started, and am I hearing rumors of a new
Usher project? I can’t wait to hear what he comes up with...
Lee L’Heureux at
Warner Bros. is still grinding away with
Jason Derulo f/2 Chainz’s “Talk Dirty.” It’s at #4 this week, and if not for Pharrell, could potentially be a #1. It was up 463 spins this week…
Gary Spangler and
Davey Dee at
Republic also have their ducks in a row.
Lorde’s “Team” moves to #8 this week, increasing over 200 spins.
SoMo’s “Ride” is right outside the Top 10, and
Sage the Gemini’s “Red Nose” is inside the Top 15 and still growing nicely. They also have
Martin Garrix’s “Animals” climbing to #28 and gaining 175 spins. This week, they impact
Young Money f/Drake’s new “Trophies” and
The Chainsmokers’ “#Selfie.” The latter is already a huge buzz record, with Pop and Rhythm stations alike already banging. It’s at #45 already, up almost 250 spins. Look for this to be a high debut this coming week…
Rick Sackhiem,
Noah Sheer, and
Scott Manness at
IDJ have their hands full as Jay Z f/Beyoncé’s “Part II (On the Run)” moves #22-18 and gains 235 spins.
Jhene Aiko’s “The Worst” is also doing big things, as she moves #29-23 this week, also up over 200 spins. Just outside of the Top 40,
Mariah Carey’s “You’re Mine (Eternal)” and
Ludacris f/Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih & Cashmere Cat’s
“Party Girls” look to join the chart this coming week. They impact
YG f/Drake’s “Who Do You Love” this week. It’s already Top 25 on the Urban chart. They also have new music from
August Alsina and Jeremih
coming soon…
Sujit Kundu and
Epic are looking to debut
Kat Dahlia’s “Crazy” this week; it’s now at #41. They’re also gearing up for new stuff from
Future,
Bando Jonez and
Kesington Kross. I still have a number of radio folks asking about
Childish Gambino’s “3005” (
Glassnote). This record continues to pick up new stations and rotations each and every week.
KPWR/Los Angeles moves it to 5-6x a day this week, and it’s showing up on more and more mix shows. Don’t miss out on a potential secret-weapon record.
