LIL TRENDSETTERS
The latest Next Big Sound Trendsetters chart from Pandora—which has gained enough marketshare of late to become the #4 on-demand streaming service provider—features gains by Colombian singer Wolfine (in the wake of his duet with Maluma on Univision's Premios Juventud) and a #16 debut by New Orleans-bred indie rapper Lil Donald, whose "Do Better" is clearly an aspirational track for listeners. Meanwhile Rex Orange County gains two spots and Nashville breakout Morgan Wallen remains in the Top 20. Check out the whole thang here.
