Iggy Azalea f/Rita Ora’s "Black Widow" (Grand Hustle/Def Jam) gives way to Chris Brown f/Usher & Rick Ross’ "New Flame." RCA's John Strazza, Inca and Lori G have had a great year, and it’s not over yet. Kid Ink f/Usher & Tinashe’s "Body Language" jumps #17-13, up 415 spins, Tinashe f/A$AP Rocky’s "Pretend" is now Top 30, Mr. Probz’s "Waves" sits at #34 and Usher f/Juicy J’s "I Don't Mind" is at #41, and it’s already on the building chart at #38 today.
