With a nearly 2000-spin cushion, Def Jam’s Jeremih has the runaway #1 record in “Don’t Tell ’Em” f/YG. What’s equally impressive is the growth at Top 40. It was up 1300 spins and climbed into the Top 15 there. Rick Sackhiem, Noah Sheer and Scott Maness knocked this one out of the park. And right on its heels is Iggy Azalea f/Rita Ora’s “Black Widow,” which vaults #8-4, gaining 537 spins this week, making it the Most Increased record inside the Top 10. They also have Jeezy’s “Seen It All” at #45 and YG’s “Do It to Ya” at #55. They’re impacting Teyana Taylor’s “Maybe” next week and have Big Sean’s new track, “IDFWU,” on deck and already starting to buzz… Ayelet Schiffman and James White at Columbia have T.I. poised to climb into the #1 spot when Jeremih is finally done. On the building chart, he’s at #2 and will need another push to climb that mountain; “No Mediocre” f/Iggy Azalea was up 470 spins this week. Beyoncé’s “Flawless” moves to #22, up 215 spins. After just one week, they’ve got Calvin Harris f/John Newman’s “Blame” up 175 spins.

Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” moves #9-7, gaining 315 spins, while Drake f/Lil Wayne’s “0-100” climbs to #12, up 325 spins. Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj’s “Bang Bang” ascends to the Top 15, and Rich Gang f/Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan’s “Lifestyle” is at #23, with an increase of 190 spins.
