It’s something I haven’t seen at our format, well, ever. RCA’s Chris Brown “No Guidance” goes back to #1 for a fifth time. It has hung around the top long enough to see 3 other records go to #1, and then made its way back in! It has been on the chart for 19 weeks, and 10 of those have been spent at #1 or #2 on the chart. Amazing. Lori G and Inca have Chris’s current single “Heat” at #12, gaining 265 spins. Doja Cat's “Juicy” is up 190 spins and moves up 4 spots to #23. Gashi's “Safely” is still developing, as is H.E.R.'s “Slide” f/YG. They are impacting G-Eazy f/Gunna's “I Wanna Rock” this week.
Rick Sackheim and Dontay Thompson see DJ Khaled's “Wish Wish” at #8, up 35 spins. They also have the #1 most increased record with Travis Scott's “Highest In The Room”. It gains a staggering 955 spins, and climbs #32-19! French Montana's “Writing On The Wall” enters the top 25, thanks to a 410 spin increase in spins.
Republic’s Gary Spangler and Davey Dee welcome Post Malone's “Enemies” f/DaBaby into the top 10. He gains 290 spins, and has the top 5 in his sights. Lil Tecca's “Did It Again” moves up 2 spots to #38, and sees a triple digit increase. They are just getting started with Blueface's “Close Up”. It is up 170 spins, and looks to be a few weeks away from a debut.
Over at Interscope, Nino Cuccinello has his hands full with music. DaBaby's “Baby Sitter” is up 215 spins, good enough for #16 on the chart. Mustard's “Ballin” continues to impress. It is up 270 spins, and lands at #21 this week. DJ Snake's “Loco Contigo” comes in at #30, and continues to grow. Arin Ray's “Change” and Summer Walker's “Playing Games” are at #42 and 43 respectfully. Both look to slide on to the chart this coming week. Nino is impacting Blackbear's “Hot Girl Bummer” this week. It is already at #47, and was up 200 spins this week.
Columbia’s John Strazza and James White are making the push for #1 with Lil Nas X's “Panini” this week! He is up 390 spins, and at #4. The three ahead of him are all down, and now is the week. 24KGoldn's “Valentino” is up 140 spins, and lands at #48 this week. It looks to be two weeks away from a debut.
Dixie Tipton and Capitol continue to impress with Layton Greene's “Leave Em Alone”. It is up another 340 spins, and is officially inside the top 15. Quality Control/Lil Baby/Da Baby's “Baby” climbs to #32 thanks to an additional 130 spin increase this week.
Noah Sheer and team Def Jam have Danileigh's “Easy” at #22, gaining 90 spins. He also debuts YK Osiris' “Ride” f/Kehlani at #40. It was up a very healthy 250 spins. Teyana Taylor's “How You Want It” is still developing, and lands at #45 this week. Fabolous' “Choosy” f/Jeremih looks to capitalize on a solid impact week. It was up 195 spins, and comes in at #52.
Lee L’Heureux has the biggest increasing record inside the top 10 with Wale's “On Chill” (Warner). It is up 565 spins, and moves to #7. It will be top 5 by this time next week.
