YOUR RADIO CHART PREVIEW

What to Expect at Three Key Mediabase Formats

Hey buddy, wanna stare into our crystal balls? It’s time to predict the future of radio.

TOP 40

The top of the chart remains the same, as Columbia's John Legend stays in the #1 spot with "All of Me." Justin Timberlake’s "Not a Bad Thing" (RCA) and American Authors’ "Best Day of My Life" (Island/Republic) both have big gains this week and continue to climb inside the Top 5. The Greatest Gainers are in the teens; Def Jam's Iggy Azalea gets the biggest jump with “Fancy” and is poised to go Top 10, as will DJ Snake & Lil Jon’s "Turn Down for What" (Columbia). Capitol's Katy Perry is also one of the week’s Greatest Gainers with "Birthday." Columbia's Calvin Harris joins the Top 20 with "Summer," along with Warner Bros.Nico & Vinz and their single, "Am I Wrong." Republic has a great week as Ariana Grande f/Iggy Azalea’s "Problem" soars right through the 20s and looks unstoppable. Meanwhile, Epic sees multi-format success as KONGOS’ “Come with Me Now” moves Top 30. Also, look for RCA’s Sia to chart this week with "Chandelier."

RHYTHM

RCA is sitting pretty, as it looks like Chris Brown’s "Loyal" will retain the #1 position by the narrowest of margins this week.The race to be the next #1 is between Columbia's DJ Snake and Lil Jon with "Turn Down for What" and Def Jam’s Iggy Azalea with "Fancy". There are big increases this week from YG f/Drake’s "Who Do You Love" (Def Jam), Ariana Grande f/Iggy Azalea’s "Problem" (Republic), Childish Gambino’s "3005" (Glassnote), and Jason Derulo f/Snoop Dogg’s "Wiggle" (Warner Bros.). Meanwhile, RCA's Usher blows onto the chart in just one week with "Good Kisser," which will be up over 600 spins.

ALTERNATIVE
In another super-tight race for #1 honors, The Black Keys will end up in the top spot with "Fever" (Nonesuch/ Warner Bros.). Epic's KONGOS, still very strong with "Come with Me Now," will slide to #2; "Bad Blood" by Virgin's Bastille is right behind at #3. Coldplay's "Magic" and Bleachers’ hit "I Wanna Get Better" (RCA) are on deck for the Top 5 soon. Jack White's "Lazaretto," via Columbia, is having a great week of spins as it’ll be up over 250x and climb to a impressive #13. Crush/Warner Bros.’ Big Data is also having a good week of spins, up over 100x with "Dangerous," as it closes in on the Top 15. Island/Republic’s buzzing Tove Lo will debut with "Habits." The latest from Capitol’s Capital Cities, "One Minute More," is also close to charting.
