Marella's Team ICLG is smiling as Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars' "Die With a Smile" (Interscope) jumps from #4 to #1 this week. Also moving up is Spangler & Lucas’ REPUBLIC squad as Sabrina Carpenter's "Taste" (Island) joins the Top 3. Warner's Chester & Reich have Myles Smith's "Stargazing" looking to enter the Top 5. And debuting on the chart will be Island/Republic’s Chappell Roan with "Pink Pony Club" and Atlantic’s Alex Warren with "Burning Down.”
JJ Ryan, SVP of programming for iHeartMedia Oklahoma, will now add Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri to his oversight.
The territories had most recently been overseen in part by Dave Ashcraft, Region SVP of programming for iHeart's Arkansas Area (Fayetteville, Ft. Smith & Little Rock, Springfield, MO & Wichita, KS), who departed in August.
Ryan, who also programs Top 40 KJYO (KJ103) and Country KTST (101.9 The Twister)/ Oklahoma City and KMOD & KTBT (92.1 The Beat)/Tulsa, was elevated to his SVP post in earlier this year.
Here we are 13 weeks later and Hozier's "Too Sweet" has returned to #1 on the T40 chart. This marks another milestone for Columbia's Team Gray in 2024. Warner's Chester & Reich have Teddy Swims' "The Door" joining the Top 10, while REPUBLIC’s Spangler & Lucas crew have Sabrina Carpenter's "Bed Chem" (Island) entering the Top 20. Arista's Petropoulos crew will debut Damiano David's "Born With a Broken Heart" (Sony Italy), which is already eyeing the Top 30.
