EPIC SERVES A HAPPY MEAL WITH TRAVIS SCOTT'S RADIO BONANZA
They're lovin' it! "Franchise," the new single from Epic megastar/fast-food gazillionaire Travis Scott, is exploding at radio. The cut is #1 Most Added at Pop (Scott's biggest impact at the format ever), with no fewer than 81 stations on board first week, including majors like Z100 NYC and KIIS L.A. That's pretty gobsmacking for a pure rap record.
Rick Sackheim and company are slathering themselves with secret sauce, not only for the song's Top 40 debut but for its prior killer bows at Rhythm (#1 Most Added on impact, +626 spins over the weekend and majors galore) and Urban (#1 Most Added with 68 commitments, iHeart panel closed and +623 spins over the weekend; #2 Greatest Gainer this week). Way to supersize it, buddy! You want fries with that? OK, we'll stop now.
