I spent my entire Monday on the phone trying to stop people from telling me Game of Thrones spoilers! My DVR was calling, but first, I had to get to the music.

Epic’s Team Glassman held their second annual #EpicFest over the weekend and it was a who’s who of industry executives and artists with some truly great performances. This week, Kent Jones’ “Don’t Mind” (We The Best) is one of Greatest Gainers and moves closer to the Top 10. Meghan Trainor’s “Me Too” goes Top 15 and becomes the #6 song on iTunes. Fifth Harmony’s “All in My Head (Flex)” (SYCO) takes a massive jump up to #27, and Zara Larsson’s “Lush Life” is looking to chart, following time in the Most Added column. Coming next is DJ Khaled f/Drake’s “For Free,” which is already #11 at Rhythm.

Republic’s CW, Spangler & Russell have Drake f/Wizkid & Kyla’s “One Dance” (YMCMB) ready to move to the top of the chart; it’s currently #3 and was one of the Greatest Gainers this week. Ariana Grande’s “Dangerous Woman” is now Top 5 and climbing. James Bay’s “Let It Go” is #1 in current MB callout and Top 10. Watch for a big chart move from Nick Jonas f/Tove Lo’s “Close” (Island) next week, as lots of majors move it to Power and Subpower, like Y100, WKST and WPOW, to name a few. Shawn Mendes’ “Treat You Better” (Island) was Most Added on impact, pulling in more than 100 adds. DNCE’s “Toothbrush” jumps up inside the Top 20 after pulling in adds from WWMX, WNOW and WLDI. They have three tracks impacting this week: Cheat Codes X Kris Kross Amsterdam’s “Sex,” which pulled in WDZH, WNKS and WFLZ prior to impact, Marc E. Bassy f/G-Eazy’s “You & Me,” which sees WBBM, WIOQ and KHTS already on board, and Ariana Grande’s “Into You.” FYI, the latter has a ton of majors on the board already.

Capitol’s Rainey, Youngblood & Siciliano launched Troye Sivan f/Alessia Cara’s new one, “Wild,” and it’s already looking to chart; already in are KDIS, WDZH, WWWQ and WZPL. WDZH APD Slacker says, “When I first heard ‘Wild,’ it was a no-brainer, the perfect song, strong hook and a great feature with Alessia. This kid is a star. Super excited about this record. It sounds great in Detroit!” Meanwhile, Ben Rector’s “Brand New” (Aptly Named/Caroline) has climbed up to #33 and now has 80+ stations on board.

Columbia’s Leipsner, Borris & Vaughan have the current #1 on the chart with The Chainsmokers f/Daya’s “Don’t Let Me Down.” Ruth B’s “Lost Boy” is set to make the jump into the Top 15, and with help from Y100, KALV, KTFM and WNRW, it should happen very soon. Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” (XL) is now Top 20, and there are 90m+ views on the video. WWMX and KLUC are on the board for Beyonce’s “Sorry,” just as it moves up to #35. Calvin Harris f/Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” is now Top 5 and shows no signs of slowing down.


Mom+Pop’s David Jacobs is continuing to have great success with Flume f/Kai’s “Never Be Like You,” which is poised to make the Top 20 move. The sales and streaming numbers are increasing every week, and with the RTM callout that just posted, this track is just getting started.

Hollywood’s Finck, Smith and Ennis are thrilled with the great start they have going on for Jordan Fisher’s “All About Us.” After just two weeks, it's sitting at #34, and there are 115+ stations on board already. Watch for his performance on the upcoming ESPY Awards (7/13).

RCA’s Riccitelli, JR, Daddio & Cooper have the Greatest Gainer this week with Sia f/Sean Paul’s “Cheap Thrills” (Monkey Puzzle). The track is #7, and with the MB callout that just posted with a #1 debut, this one is sure to continue to climb. Pink’s “Just Like Fire” climbs up to #12. Plus, there are Top 5 sales for that one in a ton of major markets. ZAYN’s “Like I Would” moves up to #29, as KNOU, KBFF and WNTQ joined the 100+ stations already on board. And Usher’s “Crash” pulled in more than 45 Pop stations on impact, including WBMP, WKQI and KIIS.

Warner Bros.Gray, Dyer, Reich & Shih have moved Bebe Rexha f/Nicki Minaj’s “No Broken Hearts” Top 30. The sales and streaming numbers continue to increase, as it climbs up the chart; big increases are coming in from KKHH, KPTT and WRVQ. RedOne’s “Don’t You Need Somebody” is bubbling just under and looking to chart after a very strong first week of adds; early believers include KAMP, XHTZ, WBMP and WQMP.

Def Jam’s Sackheim, Rothschild & Farag have pulled in 100+ stations for Rihanna’s “Needed Me” (Westbury Road/Roc Nation), and it’s now #32. It’s also been one of the Top 5 Most Streamed records in the country for six weeks in a row. New this week are KIIS, WNCI and KSMB. Alesso’s “I Wanna Know” has 65+ stations on board and is just about to chart.

MUSIC WE LOVE: Frankie’s “New Obsession” (RCA), Frenship & Emily Warren’s “Capsize” (Columbia).
