RCA HEAT MEANS EXTRA NIPPER JOKES

Peter Edge's RCA is heating up on multiple fronts, which may explain why Nipper is humping the leg of John Fleckenstein (pictured).

Latto's "Put It on da Floor Again" f/Cardi B is Top 5 at Apple Music; the video (with 7m views in five days) is the #1 trending music clip on YouTube. Look for this one to make a lot more noise in the near future.

Miguel's "Sure Thing" (ByStorm) remains #1 at Pop radio and has prominent perches at several other formats.

Foo Fighters have re-emerged with new album But Here We Are (Roswell), which has earned unqualified critical raves and is poised for a Top 10 chart bow in the vicinity of 60k. The band is also the subject of "churning" rumors that suggest they are the mystery act on the Glastonbury Festival lineup.

House Edge also has a breakout in Young Nudy, whose "Peaches & Eggplants" f/21 Savage looks big; it's currently Top 50 at Apple Music.

Meanwhile, SZA's huge year continues; her SOS (TDE) is the #2 album YTD with nearly 1.8m in U.S. ATD and well over 2.2b streams. Her single "Snooze" (Top 10 Spotify U.S. and Apple Music) is Top 5 at Pop radio and on its way to the top. And her "Kill Bill" (Top 15 Spotify global) continues to rage.

All of which means Nipper gets extra treats—and an extra copy of HITS to poop on.
