It sure is great to have football back! Week one had a number of surprises (Sorry that the
Patriots lost,
Lee L’Heureux and
Todd Glassman). San Fran looked good (
Short-e is happy), Seattle looked amazing, and my beloved
Ravens lost. I won’t even get into the
Ray Rice situation. The
Redskins were, well, the Redskins (sorry,
Noah Sheer). I know it’s only week one, but there are a few teams that need a quick adjustment if they have any hopes of having a good season. At least here in Baltimore, we have post-season baseball. We’re 10 games up in our division and in the catbird seat. Winning sure is fun... Speaking of winning,
Def Jam’s
Jeremih is doing just that. “Don’t Tell ‘Em” f/
YG is far and away the biggest record at Rhythm, and is even inside the Top 15 at Top 40 radio.
Rick Sackhiem,
Noah Sheer and
Scott Maness also take
Iggy Azalea f/Rita Ora’s “Black Widow” #9-8, up 466 spins.
Jeezy’s “Seen It All” is at #46, and they have YG’s “Do It to Ya” just getting started. They’re impacting
Alesso f/Tove Lo’s “Heroes” this week…
Republic’s
Gary Spangler and
Davey Dee have
Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” at #9, up 475 spins, as well as
Drake’s “0-100” at #13, up over 600 spins!
Ariana Grande f/Zedd’s “Break Free” is at #16, while
Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj’s
“Bang Bang” moves #19-17.
Rich Gang f/Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan’s “Lifestyle” moves inside the Top 25, gaining over 200 spins, and
Kiesza’s “Hideaway” moves closer to the chart; it climbs to #43 this week. Just under the chart, they have
Enrique Iglesias f/Descemer Bueno, Sean Paul & Gente De Zona’s “Bailando,”
Kalin & Myles’ “Love Robbery” and
DJ Khaled f/Chris Brown, August Alsina, Future & Jeremih’s “Hold You Down”…
RCA continues to drive Chris Brown towards the top, and moves “New Flame” f/
Usher & Rick Ross into the Top 10 this week. Usher f/Nicki Minaj’s “She Came to Give It to You” is at #24, up triple digits, and
Pitbull f/John Ryan’s “Fireball” debuts at #38 this week.
Sia’s “Chandelier,”
Mr Probz’s “Waves” and
G-Eazy are all just under the chart. They’re impacting
Tinashe f/A$AP Rocky’s new track, “Pretend,” and it’ll have a great week…
Ayelet Schiffman and
James White have their plan to take
T.I. f/Iggy Azalea’s “No Mediocre” to #1; it’s at #3 this week, gaining over 500 spins. They also have
Beyoncé’s “Flawless” at #23, gaining over 200 spins.
John Legend’s “You and I” sits at #39, and they impact
Calvin Harris f/John Newman’s new single, “Blame,” this week. They also see
ZHU’s “Faded” starting to create a buzz. By the way, be on the lookout for for
T.I.’s latest, “About the Money,” which they’ll impact in the next two weeks… Lee L’Heureux
and
Warner Bros. debut
Jason Derulo’s “Trumpets” at #36 this week. Sales on this single are quite impressive, as it hits 50k/week at
iTunes. It continues to develop big at Top 40 as well. He also has
PartyNextDoor f/Drake’s
“Recognize” and
I Love Makonnen’s “Tuesday,” which has an incredible buzz factor. And they just blasted out the latest track from
Nico & Vinz, “In Your Arms,” which should impact in the next few weeks…
Sujit Kundu and the
Epic squad inch ever closer to the Top 10 with
TeeFlii’s
“24 Hours.” It climbs to #11, up triple-digits this week. They also have
Lil Jon’s “Bend Ova” rising to #15, up 475 spins. Make sure you check out the video. Also,
Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” ascends to #21, up 360 spins. It has its sights set on #1 at Top 40 in the next three weeks… Meanwhile,
Nick P and
Glassnote continue to build
