Republic’s Davey Dee and Garrett Ream are celebrating their success taking Drake’s “What’s Next” (OVO) to the #1 position in a mere six weeks. They also have Pop Smoke’s “Hello” entering the Top 10 with a 325-spin increase, which follows Pop’s run atop the chart with “What You Know Bout Love.” Arriving in the Top 20, meanwhile, is Coi Leray’s “No More Parties” with a 185-spin jump.
Warner’s B Dot Scales is impacting Ericka Banks’ “Toot That” this week. Though it’s just getting started at the mix-show level, it should show solid adds on impact. He’s also working 2KBaby x Marshmello’s “Like This,” up 75 spins and landing at #52 on the chart.
John Strazza and James White at Columbia have Lil Tjay’s “Calling My Phone” f/6LACK perched in the Top 10 at #9. With an increase of 400 spins, it’s already #6 on the building chart. Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)” climbs 10 spots to #30, scoring a 320-spin boost. The streams on this are still very impressive. Likewise, the metrics on Polo G’s “RAPSTAR,” officially impacting this week, are on another level; the consumption equivalent will be close to 340k singles, with streams around 50m. The Kid LAROI’s “WITHOUT YOU” slides up three spots to #32, gaining 120 spins.
Over at Capitol, Dixie Tipton has Lil Baby’s “On Me” moving to #8, up 250 spins. Can the Top 5 be far behind? Mooski’s “Track Star” climbs three spots to #16. With an increase of almost 400 spins, it shows no signs of slowing down. Internet Money’s “JETSKI” f/Lil Tecca & Lil Mosey officially impacts this week and will undoubtedly debut by next week. Currently #43, it has more than 30 early stations on board and is up 225 spins.
Interscope’s Nino Cuccinello is enjoying the ascent of Morray’s “Quicksand,” which races to #27 with a 175-rotation boost and continues to grow at Urban. Moneybagg Yo’s “Time Today” is up triple digits, while BRS Kash’s “Kash App” gains 215 spins, debuting at #38. Cuccinello also debuts Kali Uchis’ “telepatía” at #40. Nabbing 140 spins, the track is impacting at Top 40, too.
Def Jam’s Noah Sheer is angling to embed Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” f/Daniel Caesar & GIVĒON into the Top 10 next week—it’s currently #11, gaining 635 spins this week. Fredo Bang’s “Top” climbs to #28 with a 90-spin boost, while Nasty C’s “Black & White” just misses a debut, landing at #41.
Down Geffen way, Lee L’Heureux impacted Rod Wave’s latest, “Tombstone,” last week. With an increase of 425 spins this week, it’s already on the chart. Given the passion of Wave’s fanbase, it’s not surprising that the streams are also respectable.
RCA’s Lori G and Inca have G-Eazy’s “Provide” f/Chris Brown & Mark Morrison and SZA’s “Good Days” in the Top 15, with the push on for the Top 10. Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” f/SZA (Kemosabe) debuted this week with a massive 675 spins. Look for “Kiss” to bum-rush the Top 25 by next week.
Epic’s Rick Sackheim and Dontay Thompson witness GIVĒON’s “Heartbreak Anniversary” maneuvering up the Top 25; it experienced a 280-spin increase, which should further juice its momentum. Meanwhile, Travis Scott x HVME’s “Goosebumps” arrives at #33. Sackheim and Thompson are also impacting DDG x OG Parker’s “Rule #1” f/Lil Yachty. It’s at #61 and will surely debut in the next few weeks.
