The big news this week was Epic’s DJ Khaled dropping two Drake singles, “POPSTAR” and “Greece.” Rick Sackheim and Dontay Thompson are set to impact “POPSTAR” this week and the latter in two weeks. Black Eyed Peas’ “Mamacita” climbs 3 spots to #20, gaining 185 spins. Tyla Yaweh’s “Tommy Lee” f/Post Malone slides up a spot to #26, up 110 spins.
Interscope’s DaBaby finds himself back at #1 this week with “Rockstar” f/Roddy Ricch, further proving that big hits have a way of sticking around. Nino Cuccinello is just getting started on the Trevor Daniel X Selena Gomez’s “Past Life,” and it is off to a solid start, up 155 spins and off to the races at Top 40. They are also impacting Juice WRLD’s new “Wishing Well,” so look for it to have a solid week.
RCA’s Lori G and Inca take Chris Brown X Young Thug’s “Go Crazy” Top 3 this week, up 700 spins! This is the week they shoot for #1 and the path looks to be wide open. Doja Cat’s “Like That” f/Gucci Mane (Kemosabe) holds at #9, up 265 spins. Mulatto’s “B***h From Da Souf” moves back on the chart at #39. Make sure you spend some time with Wizkid’s “Smile” f/H.E.R. as they’re starting to set it up.
Over at Columbia, John Strazza and James White begin making the push for Top 10 with StaySolidRocky’s “Party Girl.” It was up another 300 spins and moves #16-13.

Jawsh X Jason Derulo’s “Savage Love (Laxed-Siren Beat)” is off to a fantastic start, gaining 240 spins and coming in at #53. This one is a monster at Top 40 and the streams are through the roof.
Def Jam’s Noah Sheer holds Jhene Aiko’s “OTW” at #10 with a 190 spin increase. Bino Rideeaux’s “Brand New” narrowly misses a debut as it sits at #41 this week, up 150 spins.
