Although the Top 5 remained basically the same yet again this week, it looks as though there will finally be some changes soon, with three of the Top 5 without their bullet.
Jay Z “Holy Grail” is the only new addition this week to the Top 5. There were a few highly anticipated releases this past week, including
Katy Perry’s “Roar,” which debuts at #35. But the biggest gainer is
Drake’s “Hold On, We're Going Home”; it was up over 1000 spins and jumped #31-15. It’s basically a cleanup week as
KSFM,
KZON,
KLUC and others make it official this week…
Gary Spangler and
Davey Dee at
Republic also have
Rich Gang “Tap Out” at #18,
Nelly at #26,
Jay Sean at #28 and debut
Ariana Grande “Baby I” at #31 this week. And they have a busy week as they impact both
Sage The Gemini “Gas Pedal” and
DJ Khaled “I Wanna Be With You.” The record has a tremendous sales picture. It’s #20 overall on the
iTunes overall singles chart and #4 on the Hip-Hop chart… The
IDJ contingency of
Rick Sackhiem,
Noah Sheer and
Scott Maness also remain hot. In addition to the Jay Z, they have
2 Chainz’s “Feds Watching” at #19 and
Big Sean’s “Beware” going #23-20 and up over 300 spins. Bubbling just under the chart, they have
Iggy Azalea’s “Work,”
Rich Homie Quan’s
“Type of Way,”
Ludacris’ “Helluva Night” and
Avicii’s “Wake Me Up”…
John Strazza, Inca, and
Lori G at
RCA keep up the momentum as they have
Justin Timberlake’s “Take Back the Night” at #11 and
Chris Brown going #21-17 and up over 400 spins. They’ve done a bang-up job thus far with
Miley Cyrus’ “We Can't Stop,” which is #21 and up 171 spins.
Miguel’s “How Many Drinks” is also enjoying a resurgence, going #37-34 this week, while
Becky G’s “Play It Again” is sitting at #46…
Columbia shows no signs of slowing down, as they have
J. Cole’s “Crooked Smile” sitting at #6 and up over 300 spins. They also take
Calvin Harris’ “I Need Your Love” to the Top 15, and it’s still growing. They impacted
Daft Punk’s “Lose Yourself to Dance” last week, which was the #2 most added record. They continue to gather new commitments and climb the chart.
Ayelet and
James White also impact
Juicy J’s “Bounce It” this week; it’s already on #35 on the Urban chart…
Epic is impacting the new
Future record, “Honest.” They also have
Yo Gotti’s
“Act Right” going #35-32. Be on the lookout for the new
Sean Kingston f/Wale track, “Seasonal Love,” as well as
TeeFlii’s “That D.” Both will be impacting soon…
Lee L’Heureux at
WB really has done a great job with
Jason Derulo “The Other Side,” which has steadily reached #8 on the chart! He’s also close to the chart with
Macklemore’s
new single, “White Walls.” It should chart this coming week.
