And speaking of throwing heat, Columbia’s Gray, Burruss, Bedard, Stevens & Brenner continue their flame throwing game of 21 with a new Adele track set to drop 10/15. The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber’s “Stay” is still locked in at the #1 spot on the chart and it looks like it’ll be there for a few more weeks. Lil Nas X’s “INDUSTRY BABY” f/Jack Harlow is now Top 5 while his second track, “THAT’S WHAT I WANT,” moves Top 10 after they were the #1 & #2 Greatest Gainers of the week. So, like I said… flame throwing…
