TOWER POWER (UPDATE)

As you'll have noticed from a perusal of our latest Song Revenue Chart, Capitol is hot. Not only do they have the top two tracks and three of the Top 10 with Lil Baby & Gunna (Quality Control/Motown), but Halsey has a serious hit and the top-ranking Pop entry with #6 "Without Me," and Marshmello & Bastille also make the leaderboard with "Happier" (Joytime Collective/Astralwerks). That gives House Barnett half of the Top 10.

We should note that Lil Baby has 11 tracks on the rev chart overall (including one f/Drake), also known as 22% marketshare.

On the Top 50, meanwhile, Team Tower has two of the Top 5, including the week's biggest debut, from Quavo (also QC/Motown) and the returning Lil Baby/Gunna set.

We're sharing this pic of Steve with the HITS crew to remind him that things aren't always so rosy. Sometimes you're swimming in smashes, and sometimes you're swarmed by nerds.
