YMCMB/Republic’s Drake is the king once again, back on top this time with “Controlla," while his own feature collaboration—DJ Khaled's “For Free” (We The Best/Epic)—leaps to #3 with an increase of more than 300 spins. This sets up the argument that Drake is positioned to potentially replace himself at #1 at this format. It's pretty much becoming what Drizzy promised us: Summer Sixteen. Meanwhile, Fifth Harmony's “All In My Head” (Epic) will move inside the Top 10 this week, while nice-sized spin gains are made by Drake f/Rihanna's third juggernaut "Too Good" (YMCMB/Republic), along with Marc E. Bassy f/G-Eazy's “You & Me” (Republic) and Sia's “Cheap Thrills” (RCA). Mad Decent/Def Jam's Major Lazer f/ Justin Bieber will make a huge debut with “Cold Water" powered by an increase of over 650 spins, and Bryson Tiller's “Sorry Not Sorry” (RCA) will debut this week as well.
