Epic’s Sujit Kundu continues to deliver the hits, as DJ Khaled’s LP Major Keys (We The Best) is #1 this week. His single “For Free,” featuring Drake (YMCMB), is #3 on the printed chart, but #1 on the building chart. It gains over 500 spins. Khaled’s second single “I Got The Keys” f/Jay Z is at #18, up 130 spins, while his third single “Do You Mind,” which features Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown, was up 180 spins. I wonder if there has ever been a rap record debut at #1 when the person who released it doesn’t even rap on it!? Fifth Harmony “All In My Head (Flex)” (SYCO) holds at #10, up nearly 200 spins. Young Thug & Travis Scott “Pick Up The Phone” comes in at #41, and French Montana f/Drake “No Shopping” lands at #58. Jidenna “Little Bit More” is at #64.

Republic owns the #1 record in the land this week with Drake’s “Controlla” (YMCMB). Gary Spangler, Davey Dee and Stef Cole also have Marc E. Bassy f/G-Eazy’s “You And Me” at #14, adding an additional 260 spins to his total. Drake f/Rihanna’s “Too Good” (YMCMB) is this week’s most increased record, gaining 875 spins. It jumps to 15 from 25 this week! Ariana Grande’s “Into You” holds at #22, and adds 180 spins, and Kungs vs. Cookin’ on 3 Burners’ “This Girl” (New Casablanca) debuts at #33, thanks to an increase of 240 spins. Nick Jonas “Bacon” f/Ty Dolla $ign (Island) comes in at #38. Belly f/Kehlani’s “You” just misses debuting, landing at #46, up 105 spins.

Over at Def Jam, Rick Sackheim, Noah Sheer and Scott Maness have YG f/Drake & Kamaiyah’s “Why You Always Hatin?” moving to #16, up 140 spins. Kanye West f/Kid Cudi’s “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” (Roc-a-Fella/G.O.O.D.) had an impressive week as it moves to #19, and saw an increase of 230 spins. Major Lazer f/Justin Bieber & MO’s “Cold Water” (Mad Decent) leaps #29-20, and increases an outstanding 850 spins. This one is quickly looking like it could be a Top 10 record in a few short weeks. DJ Mustard f/Nicki Minaj and Jeremih’s “Don’t Hurt Me” (Roc Nation)gains 215 spins and comes in at #44 this week. Logic’s “Flexicution” is at #50.

Columbia’s Ayelet Schiffman and James White hold Calvin Harris f/Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” (Westbury Road) at #4, gaining 250 spins. The Chainsmokers f/Halsey’s “Closer” (Disruptor) comes in at #49 after just one week, and will debut this coming week. They also have a new artist, Russ, who is on a small promo tour, and really making a name for himself. His current single “What They Want” is getting a lot of mix-show activity, and is a few weeks from impacting. Make sure you check this out! They are also impacting Beyonce’s “Hold Up” next week.

RCA’s Inca and Lori G move Usher’s “No Limit” inside the top 10 this week. It gains 315 spins, and climbs to #9. Sia “Cheap Thrills” (Monkey Puzzle) continues to impress, as it gains another 500 spins and moves to #13. Could she have a top 5 Rhythm record? Sure feels like it. Kid Ink f/Jeremih & Spice’s “Nasty” comes in at #35, after a 60-spin increase, and Bryson Tiller’s “Sorry Not Sorry” gains 145 spins and moves to #36 this week. Tinashe’s “Superlove,” which impacted last week, lands at #54, up 190 spins. She should debut this coming week. Britney Spears f/ G-Eazy’s “Make Me” is at #73, up 30 spins.

Capitol’s Dixie Tipton is set to impact Lil Yachty “1 Night” in two weeks.

THE BALLSTREET JOURNAL

As we head into August, it’s time to start thinking about school starting up again, and wrapping up summer. Vacations are coming to an end, and no more half-day Fridays or sneaking out for a round of golf. In looking back, this was most definitely Drake’s summer. He has another #1 this week with “Controlla” (YMCMB), and “Too Good” f/Rihanna is already Top 25 and impacting this week. He is featured on three other tracks, and is talking about another mixtape, which I think is a safe bet to say will have even more fire.

Republic’s Gary Spangler, Davey Dee and Stef Cole have had quite a busy summer, and it is showing no signs of slowing down. Marc E. Bassy f/ G-Eazy’s “You & Me” (BPG) is just now hitting its stride, moving to #14 and gaining 330 spins. Ariana Grande’s “Into You” climbs 27-22, up 230 spins, and Nick Jonas f/Ty Dolla $ign’s “Bacon” (Island) is at #37. Kungs & Cookin’ on Three Burners’ “This Girl” (Sound of Barclay/Casablanca) is one of the bigger buzz records out there, and just misses charting. It was up 220 spins, and new stations continue to climb on board. Belly f/Kehlani’s “You” (Roc Nation) had an increase of 160 spins, which lands him at #51.

Epic’s Sujit Kundu has DJ Khaled’s new LP Major Keys (We The Best) sitting on top of the chart, with three current singles out at Urban and Rhythm. “For Free” f/Drake (YMCMB/Republic) is at #3, up 375 spins. It is making a strong push to be the next #1 record. “I Got The Keys” f/Jay Z sits at #19, and the just-released “Do You Mind” f/ Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, August Alsina, Jeremih, Future and Rick Ross comes in at #77 after two days, up 120 spins. Sujit also takes Fifth Harmony’s “All In My Head (Flex)” (SYCO) Top 10, adding an additional 210 spins. Young Thug & Travis Scott f/Quavo’s “Pick Up The Phone” is at #39, and Jidenna “Little Bit More” lands at #58, up 75 spins.

Columbia’s Ayelet Schiffman and James White have Calvin Harris f/Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” officially inside the Top 5. It is at #4, after an increase of 190 spins. They also drop a new Chainsmokers, this time featuring Halsey, titled “Closer” (Disruptor). It got 70 spins, and will make a push to get on the chart in a few short weeks. They are coming off a Top 5 record at the format. Aye and James are also impacting Beyonce’s “Hold Up” in a week.

RCA’s Inca and Lori G have Usher f/Young Thug’s “No Limit” at #11, gaining 170 spins. They also have Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” (Monkey Puzzle) at #15, up a very healthy 420 spins. This is on its way to top 10. Bryson Tiller’s “Sorry Not Sorry” debuts at #38, gaining 150 spins. Kid Ink f/Jeremih’s “Nasty” lands at #34, gaining 60 spins. Ayo Jay’s “Your Number” is at #70, and they are impacting Tinashe’s “Superlove” this week. It is already at #72, and had 85 new spins.

Rick Sackheim, Noah Sheer, and Scott Maness at Def Jam have YG f/Drake “Why You Always Hatin’” moving #21-18, tacking on 120 spins, and Kanye West’s “Father Stretch My Hands” (G.O.O.D./Roc-a-Fella)at #20, which sees an additional 190 spins this week. They also own the highest debut this week in Major Lazer f/Justin Bieber & MO’s “Cold Water”(Mad Decent), which comes in at #29. It was up 735 spins, and is still gaining momentum. Logic’s “Flexicution” continues to grow, as it moves #61-49. It was up 130 spins.
