A PREVIEW OF RADIO CHART PREVIEWS

At Top 40, it looks like RCA, led by Keith Rothschild, will take over the top spot with Doja Cat’s "Vegas" (Kemosabe), and their next one heading to #1 will be Steve Lacy’s "Bad Habit" (L-M), which will join the Top 5 this week. Interscope's Romano and Lopes have two climbing inside the Top 10 as One Republic's "I Ain't Worried" (Mosley) moves closer to the Top 5 and Elton John & Britney Spears' "Hold Me Closer" (Mercury U.K./RCA) officially enters the Top 10. Capitol's Greg Marella has Sam Smith & Kim Petras’ "Unholy" making their way into the Top 20, while Def Jam's Captain Noah Sheer moves Armani White’s "BILLIE EILISH." (Legendbound) Top 30, as does Dale Connone’s In2une with JVKE's "golden hour" (JVKE/AWAL). Debuting on the chart will be RCA's Tate McRae with "uh oh" and Columbia's Gray and company with Beyoncé’s "Cuff It" (Parkwood), the latter of which officially impacts next week.

Meanwhile at Rhythm, it’s going to be a close one this week, but it looks as though Republic's Davey Dee and team will have Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks” f/21 Savage (OVO) narrowly holding the #1 spot again. Epic’s Dontay Thompson misses the top spot by less than 50 spins with DJ Khaled’s “STAYING ALIVE” f/Drake & Lil Baby (We the Best/Capitol). QC/Capitol squad leader Dixie Tipton see City Girls’ “Good Love” f/Usher enter the Top 5, while Def Jam moves YG’s “Toxic” inside the Top 10. RCA’s Lori and Inca bring Chris Brown’s “Under the Influence” into the Top 15, while Columbia’s team Strazza and White see Lil Nas X’s “STAR WALKIN’” enter the Top 20 as label mate Beyoncé rockets inside the Top 25 with “Cuff It” (Parkwood). Look for debuts this week from Warner and B Dot Scales with David Guetta & Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” (Parlophone U.K.) and Epic’s Oxlade with “KU LO SA.”

And at Modern Rock, Warner’s Rob Goldklang has Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Tippa My Tongue” in a tight battle with Death Cab for Cutie’s “Here to Forever” for next week’s #1. Capitol’s Dan Connelly and Craig Thomas have TALK approaching the Top 15 with “Run Away to Mars,” while Dirty Hit moves The 1975’s “I’m in Love With You” toward the Top 20. Columbia’s Lisa Sonkin and Darice Lee have blink-182’s “EDGING” making a huge debut after just two days of airplay. This will quickly become a #1 record in a few weeks.
