Labor Day marks the end of summer and on to the fourth quarter of the year! And looks like Columbia’s Gray, Burruss, Bedard, Stevens & Brenner will keep their hot streak alive until we make those midnight toasts at the end of the year to welcome 2023. Last week, they had the #1 track at six formats in Mediabase. With Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking” making Power rotation moves to take over the top spot at Pop from Nicky Youre’s “Sunroof”f/dazy, that streak looks to continue. And don’t blink, because Beyoncé’s “BREAK MY SOUL” (Parkwood) looks to join the Top 5 while Styles’ “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” gets set to join the Top 20. Rosa Linn’s “SNAP” also impacted this week as one of the Top 10 Most Added tracks, scoring 15 stations on impact!

Republic’s Spangler & Romeo impacted Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” and have been #1 Most Added two weeks in a row, securing 90+ adds since. KHKS PD Patrick Davis says, “‘Super Freaky Girl’ is infectious with an immediately recognizable hook!" Republic also has Post Malone’s “I Like You” f/Doja Cat (Mercury) ready to join the Top 5. It’s Top 10 U.S. Shazam and Top 10 U.S. Spotify. Yung Gravy’s “Betty (Get Money)” is heading Top 15 with new stations like Z100, Venus, WXXL and WNKS, while Morgan Wallen’s “Wasted on You” looks to join the Top 20 with 588m+ streams to date and Stephen Sanchez’s “Until I Found You” is Top 30 with 90+ stations on board.

Capitol’s Marella, Nolletti, Acampora & Siciliano have Halsey’s “So Good” set to join the Top 10 with 170+ stations and Top 2 Rate the Music scores. FLETCHER’s “Becky’s So Hot” impacted and has been in the Top 10 Most Added for two weeks in a row (have you seen that video??). It’s spinning on 32 stations, including HITS1, KBFF and KMXV.

RCA’s Rothschild, Maldonado, JR & Daddio are firing on all cylinders with Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” (L-M), which was the #1 Greatest Gainer last week and is #1 on Spotify’s Top Songs U.S. chart. The panel is nearly closed on this as it looks to join the Top 10 this week. Doja Cat’s “Vegas” (Kemosabe) enters the Top 10 as it moves to Power rotation everywhere. It’s Top 15 on Spotify U.S. and Top 10 on Today’s Top Hits. Marshmello & Khalid’s “Numb” (Joytime Collective) is heading Top 10 with a closed-out panel, while Kane Brown’s “Grand” heads Top 20 and was once again a Top 10 Most Added track with stations like WIOQ, KKRZ and WHQC all coming in.

Interscope’s Romano & Lopes also have a very full plate of music. First up is One Republic’s “I Ain’t Worried” (Mosley), which moved Top 10 and was the #2 Gainer on the chart this week. It looks Top 5 bound quickly. Meanwhile, Imagine Dragons’ “Bones” is Top 25 at Pop and Top 15 at Hot AC. Ellie Goulding’s ‘Easy Lover” f/Big Sean is now on 100+ pop stations and joins the Top 30 with majors like HITS1, Z100, WKTU and B96. Benny Blancox BTS x Snoop Dogg’s “Bad Decisions” (Friends Keep Secrets) is Top 30 with 100+ stations spinning, including KYLD, KIIS, KHKS and WPOW. Zedd x Maren Morris x BEAUZ’s “Make You Say” was the #2 Most Added track prior to its official impact and pulled in major adds like Music Choice, WKSC and WWWQ. Look for BLACKPINK’s “Pink Venom” (YG Entertainment) to impact this week as a Top 10 Most Added track.

In2une’s Connone & Lucek charted KX5’s “Escape” f/Hayla and it’s already Top 30 bound. With 50+ stations spinning, including WKSC, KIIS, WBBM, KALV and KENZ, watch for this one to move up quickly.
