DSP DEVELOPMENTS: "DECISIONS" TIME

The unlikely alliance of Benny Blanco, BTS and Snoop Dogg has produced an instant streaming rocket. The shimmering pop ditty "Bad Decisions" (Friends Keep Secrets/Interscope) is now Top 15 on the Spotify global Top 50. "Decisions" additionally held the #1 spot at iTunes before moving to #2 (see below) as BTS stans make it rain. (The song is also, as it happens, part of an Xbox "singing controller" promotion that will soon be the bane of parents everywhere.)

Meanwhile, the latest party hosted by We the Best/Epic impresario DJ Khaled, "Staying Alive" f/Drake and Lil Baby, is #Top 5 U.S. (just behind Steve Lacy's powerhouse "Bad Habits") and #18 worldwide as of this writing.

Parkwood/Columbia's Beyoncé, still celebrating a big #1 chart debut, has unleashed "BREAK MY SOUL (THE QUEENS REMIX)," featuring fellow megadiva Madonna. It's currently #1 at iTunes.

Stay tuned for more digital disquisition very soon.
