So what was your favorite moment of Grammy night? Adele stopping the live broadcast, James Hetfield’s mic malfunction, or the Prince tribute that turned into a spotlight on Morris Day and the Time? Lots of moments to “shake your head at”….
Columbia’s Leipsner, Borris & Vaughan had a lot to celebrate on Grammy night with Adele, Beyonce and The Chainsmokers taking home major hardware on the Pop side of things. The Chainsmokers’ “Paris” (Disruptor) moves Top 10 this week and looks to be heading to the top of the chart. James Arthur’s “Say You Won’t Let Go” is poised to join the Top 30 with 100+ stations on board. Train’s “Play That Song” impacts this week with 30 stations already in rotation.
Epic’s Team Glassman dropped a new single from DJ Khaled f/Beyonce & Jay Z, “Shining” (We The Best); our spies tell us it was recorded and the deal assembled while everyone was in a studio in L.A. during Grammy week. The track is currently Top 10 on iTunes. Also impacting this week is Hardwell f/Jay Sean’s “Thinking About You” (Cloud 9)—the video has 15m views to date.

Travis Scott’s “Goosebumps” (Grand Hustle) is bubbling just under and looking to chart.
Caroline’s Saturn, Halpern & Holman continue to post great metrics on Hey Violet’s “Guys My Age” (5Mode). They moved it up inside the Top 20 and there are 2.2m streams as they announced a headlining tour. New airplay includes WWPW, KBFF and WXXL. The staff at Caroline says, “Fuck the charts, we work the HITS.”
Hollywood’s Finck, Smith & Ennis have Sabrina Carpenter looking to join the Top 30.

Capitol’s Marella, Rainey & Siciliano debuted the new Katy Perry at the Grammys and Katy’s performance was spectacular as always—she never disappoints. “Chained to the Rhythm” debuted at #24 after just a few days of airplay. Kudos must be given for the great promotion job that has been done on Jon Bellion’s “All Time Low.” It is one of the true great promotion stories of our time—they have stayed with this and fought off all naysayers and it should join the Top 10 next week. Calum Scott’s “Dancing on my Own” moves up to #37 this week with 100+ stations on board. Sigma f/Birdy’s “Find Me” pulled in a ton of majors on impact, Venus, KAMP, KVIL, WBMP and KALV just to name a few.
Def Jam’s Sackheim, Rothchild & Farag have Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain”(Westbury Road/Roc Nation) heading Top 5. It’s already Top 5 on the MB Power Play list and on the Big Picture Chart; new increases this week from WODS, WIOQ and KHKS should keep this train on track! Big Sean’s “Bounce Back” (G.O.O.D.) from his #1 album I Decided is set to chart with 60+ stations on board including WWWQ, WKQI, KHTS and WXSS.
Warner Bros.’ Gray, Dyer, Reich & Shih have BeBe Rexha’s “I Got You” set to join the Top 15—they have all but closed out the panel and pulled in 24 rotation increases to keep the drive going toward the top of the chart.

Republic’s CW, Spangler & Russell looked to be having the most fun during Grammy week if you watched CW’s social media streams …. With two tracks continuing to build inside the Top 10, The Weeknd f/Daft Punk’s “I Feel It Coming” (XO) and Shawn Mendes’ “Mercy” (Island) they just keep setting the pace for success. Drake’s “Fake Love” (YMCMB) moves Top 15, Julia Michaels’ “Issues” joins the Top 20 with 165+ stations on board and Marian Hill’s “Down” (Photo Finish) should join the Top 20 very soon.
