Sheltering in place for the foreseeable future almost seems surreal. Will this become the new norm every winter and spring? I don’t like to think about the worst-case scenario, I just hope that as a nation we can pull out of this quickly and use this as a learning opportunity to practice selflessness and kindness.

On a more positive note, congratulations are in order for Columbia’s John Strazza and James White as they take Russ & Bia’s “Best on Earth” to #1 this week! It exploded with an increase of 530 spins and took 18 weeks to achieve this goal. They now have Arizona Zervas’ “FML” and Tyga’s “Freak” impacting the next two weeks.

RCA’s Lori G and Inca have H.E.R.’s “Slide” f/Usher at #4, gaining over 400 spins. They are making a push for #1 in the next few weeks. Doja Cat’s “Say So” (Kemosabe) continues to be a monster, adding over 630 spins to its total and moving to #12. This should be inside the Top 5 within 2 weeks! SZA X Justin Timberlake’s “The Other Side” is up an even 200 spins and moves inside the Top 25. Khalid X Disclosure’s “Know Your Worth” is up triple digits. They just miss a debut with Usher’s “Don’t Waste My Time,” as it comes in at #41 and is up 35 spins.
