YOUR RADIO WILDCARD: Republic's Ariana Grande is our most recent radio wildcard with "Problem," coming off a #28 chart debut and #1 Most Added honors in her first week at Top 40. The track, featuring guest Iggy Azalea, was also the #3 Greatest Gainer. Kudos to Messrs. Walk, Spangler and team. The song has of course also been selling like crazy, zooming to the top of the iTunes singles chart upon arrival (boosted by a smokin' performance on the iHeartRadio Music Awards); it remains on that retail perch as we write this. How big can this one get? (5/5p)
