Major congrats to all the 66th Grammy Award winners! That was quite a show and RCA had a few artists that took home some hardware, including SZA and Victoria Monét. Their timing couldn’t have been any better as Lori G and Inca ended the week with Monét’s “On My Mama” (Lovett Music) at the top of the chart with a 600-spin boost. We are just over a month into the new year, and we already have a new #1 record. RCA remains red hot as they also take Chris Brown’s “Sensational” f/Davido & Lojay to #11 after picking up an increase of more than 350 spins. Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me,” which is currently Top 5 at Spotify U.S., enters the Top 25 this week with a jump of 440 spins, while Sleepy Hallow’s “ANXIETY” climbs four spots to #31. And they also debut Justin Timberlake’s “Selfish” at #26, which was this week’s highest debut with an increase of 660 spins.

Davey Dee and Republic have Nicki Minaj’s “Everybody” f/Lil Uzi Vert poised to hit #1 this week or next. She has been the Greatest Gainer for an impressive seven weeks now. Drake’s “You Broke My Heart” ends the week at #8 and is up 440 spins. The Weeknd’s “One of the Girls” f/JENNIE (XO) enters the Top 15 and scores a 275-spin boost; the next goal on this is to hit the Top 10. Meanwhile, Minaj’s “FTCU” just misses out on the Top 15 this week but still manages to add 340 spins to her total. She’s also kicking off her tour on 3/1.

Epic’s Rick Sackheim and Dontay Thompson see 21 Savage’s “neé-nah” f/Travis Scott & Metro Boomin rocket inside the Top 20 after scoring a triple digit increase of 685 spins. 21 also has “redrum” that is exploding at Urban and has debuted on the Rhythm chart this week. They will officially be impacting this track, which is Top 10 on Spotify’s Global chart and #4 U.S., in two weeks. Meanwhile, they’re impacting Doe Boy’s “Way Too Long” this week, which ended at #42 but is already on the building chart at #39 as I write this. There is a great buzz on this one. And Tyla (fresh off her Grammy win) has a new single entitled “Truth or Dare” that will impact Rhythm radio next week.

Columbia’s James White has Beyoncé’s “MY HOUSE” (Parkwood) perched at #17 this week after gaining 155 spins. Lil Nas X’s “J CHRIST” is right behind at #18 and picks up 170 spins.

Nino and Interscope continue to build JID’s “Surround Sound” f/21 Savage & Baby Tate (DVille) each week. The track secures a 565-spin jump, good enough for #6 this week. It will end inside the Top 5 and then the push for #1 will begin.

Dixie and Capitol have had Offset’s “Worth It” f/Don Toliver moving up the chart for 14 weeks and it’s going in the right direction; he climbs one position to #9. And after adding 525 spins to her total, Ice Spice’s “Think U the Shit (Fart)” (10K Projects) debuts at #33. The track is currently perched in the Top 20 on Spotify’s U.S. chart.

Noah Sheer and Def Jam hold 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne’s “Transparency” f/USHER at #14 this week, while Fridayy’s “When It Comes to You” climbs three positions to #35 and they debut Muni Long’s “Made for Me,” which is #2 on Shazam U.S. and Top 20 Global, at #39 this week thanks to an increase of more than 320 spins.
