Republic’s Davey Dee and Garett Ream make it a cool three weeks at #1 for Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks” f/21 Savage (OVO/Epic). With the way the format is churning over big records, this is about as long as a hit will stay at the top. Meanwhile, Post Malone’s “Wrapped Around Your Finger” (Mercury) comes in at #16 this week and gains 125 spins along the way. NAV’s “One Time” w/Don Toliver & Future (XO) continues to grow and is up 85 spins this week as it comes in at #30.
Over at Epic, Rick Sackheim and Dontay Thompson are pushing for the #1 spot with DJ Khaled’s “STAYING ALIVE” f/Drake & Lil Baby (We the Best/Capitol), which was up an impressive 635 spins this week. It’s currently sitting at #1 on the building chart and is in a dog fight with Steve Lacy. Holding at #20 this week is Future’s “LOVE YOU BETTER,” just as Oxlade’s “KU LO SA” debuts at #38 thanks to an increase of 95 spins. Up next for Epic is DDG, who will impact with a new track next week.
Over at RCA, Lori G and Inca are also making a hard push for Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” (L-M) to go for #1 this week. It was up a whopping 615 spins and ended the week in the #4 spot. It’s currently #3 on the building chart. Doja Cat’s “Vegas” (Kemosabe) gained 250 spins this week and remains at #8, though it moved to #1 at Pop radio this week. Following right behind is Tems’ “Free Mind,” which enjoys a 285-rotation increase. They now have three currents inside the Top 10! Meanwhile, Chris Brown’s “Under the Influence” leaps #17-13, thanks to a 455-spin boost. You can look for this one to be inside the Top 10 in the next few weeks.
Columbia’s John Strazza and James White have Lil Nas X’s “STAR WALKIN’” enjoying a triple digit increase of 350 spins, which is good enough to land him at #17 this week. Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” (Parkwood) picks up an impressive 740 spins and rockets from #33-21, while Lil TJay’s “Beat the Odds” moves to #23 this week.
Dixie Tipton and Capitol have City Girls’ “Good Love” f/Usher (QC/Motown) coming in at #5 this week. With an increase of 260 spins, this one is still moving towards the top of the chart. Ice Spice’s “Munch (Feelin’ U)” climbs four spots to #32 and scores 255 spins along the way. Lil Baby’s “Heyy” just misses a debut and comes in #42, but it’s already inside the Top 35 on the building chart.
Def Jam’s Noah Sheer sees YG’s “Toxic” enter the Top 10 after an increase of 300 spins this week. Following right behind is Armani White’s “BILLIE EILISH.” (Legendbound), which comes in at #11. He adds 305 spins to his total and will be inside the Top 10 this next week as well.
Interscope’s Nino Cuccinello continues to grow GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2” w/Cardi B (CMG). With an increase of 440 spins, she moves up eight spots and comes in at #26. This one is sure to be inside the Top 25 next week. Nino also recently impacted EST Gee’s “Backstage Passes” f/Jack Harlow and it was up 330 spins this week, landing at #41. It will surely debut inside the Top 35.
