Exciting week in the world of sports as we crowned a new NCAA National Champion with the North Carolina Tar Heels. It wasn’t a pretty game, with poor shooting and sloppy play. But the Heels found a way to get it done. Also, baseball season is now officially underway. The Baltimore Orioles won their first game, and the Yankees lost their season opener. The Cubs did as well, so let’s hope this is a sign of things to come.
Well, it took a lot of hard work and effort, but a congrats are in order for RCA’s Inca and Lori G (right), who muscle Chris Brown “Party” to #1 this week! It was up 480 spins. Next up is Khalid “Location” (Right Hand Music), which is #11 after gaining 280 spins. They just impacted the ZAYN f/PARTYNEXTDOOR “Still Got Time” and it comes in at #65. It was up 110 spins, and is looking to build on the momentum of the top 40 success. They are impacting Goldlink f/Brent Faiyaz and Shy Glizzy’s “Crew” this week.

Future f/Rihanna’s “Selfish” (A1/Freebandz) climbs to #16, adding an additional 235 spins to his total. He also has “Mask Off,” which was up 200 spins, and just misses debuting.
