Big congratulations to Gary and Rachael Spangler on the birth of their baby girl, Mila! Rachael and Mila are happy, healthy and resting comfortably. All of the cursing and yelling you heard from your neighbors’ house was not a domestic dispute; it was opening Sunday of the NFL! It’s another year to put your hopes and dreams into your favorite team (unless you are a Jets or Cleveland fan) … Finally, a round of applause for Rick Sackhiem, Noah Sheer and Scott Maness for taking Jay Z’s “Holy Grail” to #1 this week! This is Jay’s ninth #1 record on the Mediabase Rhythm chart. They also have Big Sean’s “Beware” at #11 this week, up 464 spins. 2 Chainz’s “Feds Watching” is at #15, Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” is at #28 (and also the biggest debut record of the week) and Rich Homie Quan’s “Type Of Way” is at #30 and up 159 spins. Just outside of the chart is August Alsina’s “I Luv This Sh*t,” which should debut this coming week. They impacted B5’s “Say Yes” and have Rihanna’s new “What Now,” which they just serviced… Strazza, Inca and Lori G at RCA records have Chris Brown’s “Love More” at #8 and up 359 spins, Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” at #14, Miguel’s “How Many Drinks” at #29, and after much blood, sweat, and tears, Becky G’s “Play It Again” debuting at #35 and up 67 spins. Make sure to check out T Pain’s “Up and Down,” which impacts 9/23 and also a new Kid Ink track featuring Chris Brown, “Show Me”… Republic has Drake making huge moves again this week, as it jumps #5-4 and is up 948 spins! This is looking like the next #1 record for sure. The new Ariana Grande track is “Right There,” and features Big Sean. Look for this one to have a very strong impact week this week… Gary Spangler and Davey Dee also have Jay Sean’s “Mars” climbing into the top 25, going #23 this week. Nelly’s “Get Like Me” is sitting at #25, and Sage The Gemini’s “Gas Pedal” vaults #36-27 and is up 255 spins. And how about Lorde’s “Royals”? This multi-format track is blowing up at Pop, Alternative and Hot AC, and enters the chart at Rhythm this week at #38, up 318 spins. On the outside of the chart looking in is DJ Khaled’s “I Wanna Be With You.” It was up 76 spins, and looks to chart this coming week… Ayelet Schiffman and James White at Columbia continue to grind up the chart with J. Cole’s “Crooked Smile.” It’s at #3 this week, and after 13 weeks on the chart, was STILL up 448 spins. They also have both Juicy J’s “Bounce It” and Daft Punk’s “Lose Yourself to Dance” sitting just outside of the chart. This week, they impact Krewella’s “Live for the Night,” and have a track from new artist Naya Rivera entitled “Sorry,” which features her boyfriend Big Sean… The fine folks at Epic debut Future’s “Honest” this week at #40. It was up over 100 spins and continues to build. Rachael and Dixie Tipton are also a week or two away from debuting TeeFlii’s “This D” record. It’s at #52 and was up 96 spins this week. And make sure to check out Cher Lloyd’s “I Wish” featuring T.I. It impacts this coming week… Lee L’Heureux at WB has Jason Derulo’s new one, “Marry Me.” It impacted Pop this past week, and is off to a great start. It impacts Rhythm in two weeks. And Macklemore’s “White Walls” continues to ascend the chart. It jumps #33-26 and was up nearly 300 spins. The video has numerous cameos from other rappers; be sure to check it out!
