RCA DOUBLES DOWN

No matter how you count it, we note that RCA had two in the Top 5 on our most recent Top 50 chart. P!nk's Hurts 2B Human racked up 108k+ (she's at 152k RTD consumption), while Khalid's Free Spirit (Right Hand) added 54k to its total in its fourth week and has hit 879k RTD consumption.

It's also noteworthy that these two authentic stars, one of which has been on the scene for nearly 25 years and the other having first hit industry radar in late 2016, collaborated on the title track of P!nk's album. Both are products of the label's A&R acumen and its dedication to patient, persistent development.

Peter Edge, John Fleckenstein and Joe Riccitelli were playing Frisbee with Nipper and couldn't be reached for comment.
