Thirty year olds—they’re always know-it-all’s! They think they have just enough experience to know better than anyone else. If you haven’t taken the time to make your way through the pages of the HITS 30th Anniversary edition you are missing out on some great old photos and stories of the way it was. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the laughs.

Def Jam’s Sackheim, Rothchild & Farag have the #1 song in the country this week in Major Lazer f/Justin Bieber & Mo’s “Cold Water”(Mad Decent). They are also impacting Kayne West’s “Fade” (G.O.O.D.) this week and already on the board are 30+ adds including KIIS, KAMP, WBMP and WBLI. Alessia Cara’s “Scars (To Your Beautiful)” is now #24 and has over 150 stations on board; new adds this week include WKQI and WQEN. Impacting on 10/10 is Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain” (Westbury Road).

Epic’s Team Glassman has moved Meghan Trainor f/Yo Gotti’s “Better” into the Top 30 after just a couple of short weeks of airplay, with over 130 stations and KIIS and Premium Choice adding to the list this week. This on is on the fast track up the chart. Impacting this week is Zara Larsson’s “Ain’t My Fault” which is already selling 14K singles a week and it will surely be in the Most Added column as there are already over 70 stations confirmed for impact. Fifth Harmony “That’s My Girl” (SYCO) impacts next week and the list is already stacking up quiet nicely.

Columbia’s Leipsner, Borris & Vaughan jumped The Chainsmokers f/Halsey’s “Closer” (Disruptor) up three spaces to #2 this week Calvin Harris’ “My Way” impacted and charted all in the same week, climbing to #34 immediately after impact. Frenship’s “Capsize” is looking to join the Top 30 as there are 125+ stations on board; WBMP is in for this week. Mike Perry’s “The Ocean” has pulled in early support from KMVQ, KHTS, WQMP and KDND and is looking to chart soon.

RCA’s Riccitelli, JR, Daddio & Cooper charted Pitbull f/Flo Rida & Lunchmoney Lewis’ “Greenlight” with help from KAMP, KKHH, WKTU and WKSC. Tinashe’s “Superlove” pulled in new adds from Z100, B96 and WODS to add to the 50+ other stations on board. Martin Garrix & BeBe Rexha’s “In The Name of Love” (STMPD RCRDS) has over 90m Spotify streams and is #5 Global Spotify and #15 U.S. Spotify as it makes it way toward the chart. With big Spotify and Shazam numbers already, Sia f/Kendrick Lamar’s “The Greatest” (Monkey Puzzle) is pulling in airplay prior to impact (9/27); Z100, WPOW, WXKS and KYLD are just a few of the majors on the board already.

“We adore Sia, and playing “The Greatest” was a simple decision,” said Erik Bradley, APD, WBBM (pictured). “It should very successfully follow in the massive footsteps of ‘Cheap Thrills.’”

Capitol’s Marella, Rainey, Youngblood & Siciliano have moved Jon Bellion’s “All Time Low” Top 30 with 100+ stations on board and more than 30m streams on Spotify— they are off to the races with this one.

Republic’s CW, Spangler & Russell are impacting Ariana Grande f/Nicki Minaj’s “Side to Side” and it should wind up in the Top 5 on the Addboard this week. Shawn Mendes’ “Treat You Better” (Island) is Top 5 and was also a Top 5 Greatest Gainer again this week. Drake f/Rihanna’s “Too Good” (YMCMB) is Top 10 while Kungs & Cookin’ on 3 Burners’ “This Girl” is now Top 15. Hailee Steinfeld & Grey f/Zedd “Starving” is poised to make the jump to Top 20 and Marc E. Bassy f/G-Easy’s “You & Me” is set to make the jump to Top 30. Nick Jonas f/Ty Dolla $ign’s “Bacon” (Island) after three weeks in the Most Added column is now #37 with 75+ stations on board.
