Vibe Update

BONNIE BANKS: The sole debut in this week’s Vibe-Raters round-up is Kemosabe/Epic’s Bonnie McKee. With the infectious “American Girl,” McKee—who’s penned and/or co-penned songs for the likes of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Taio Cruz, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and Carly Rae Jepsen, among others, garnering eight #1s and 25m+ track sales—steps out as an artist with big early gains at Pop radio. She’s earned 1.2m VEVO views for the track’s video (with another 1.1m for the star-studded “lip-dub” clip); add MTV Hits, Fuse, a VH1 new piece and an upcoming Good Morning America appearance and it seems McKee’s face is pretty much everywhere. “Girl” is also #7 in Shazam searches. In other Vibe news, Robin Thicke hits #1, while The Civil Wars, Lorde and Bastille vault toward the top. Read all about it here. (8/1p)
