Hey there, buddy! You look great! Really. Anyhow, it’s a beautiful Friday and we wanna make it to happy hour by 5, so take a seat and we’ll run our radio forecast by you.
TOP 40
Well, it looks like Def Jam's, Miss I-G-G-Y will stay in the top position on the chart for one more week with "Fancy," and Republic's Ariana Grande will hold at #2 with "Problem" f/Iggy Azalea. Columbia’s Calvin Harris stays hot, as "Summer" moves into the #3 position. Warner Bros.’ Nico & Vinz have the new #4 with a big jump up for "Am I Wrong." With a huge jump, one of this week’s Greatest Gainers is RCA's Magic!, settling in at #7 with “Rude.” Capitol’s Katy Perry is also climbing Top 10 with “Birthday.” Capitol’s Sam Smith is posting big gains inside the Top 20 with "Stay with Me," along with Jason Derulo f/Snoop Dogg’s "Wiggle" (Warner Bros.), KONGOS’ " Come With Me Now" (Epic) and Pharrell Williams’ "Come Get it Bae" (Columbia), but this week’s Greatest Gainer is “Maps” by Maroon 5. Hollywood's Demi Lovato has another great spin week with "Really Don’t Care” f/Cher Lloyd and looks to join the Top 20 next week.
RHYTHM
Grand Hustle/Def Jam's Iggy Azalea holds the #1 position again this week, with Republic’s Ariana Grande and "Problem" f/Azalea right behind. Warner Bros.’ Jason Derulo takes a huge leap into the Top 5 with "Wiggle" featuring Snoop Dogg. Look for solid increases again this week from Childish Gambino's "3005" (Glassnote), Nicki Minaj’s "Pills N Potions" (YMCMB/Republic) and Nico & Vinz’s "Am I Wrong" (Warner Bros.). Capitol’s Sam Smith is debuting “Stay With Me” this week, and Columbia's Beyonce may do the same with "Pretty Hurts."
ALTERNATIVE
It's seven weeks and counting at #1for Nonesuch/Warner Bros.’ Black Keys and their big hit "Fever." There's still no real threat to overtake them. In terms of movement, Cage the Elephant's "Take It or Leave It" (RCA) climbs to #11 and is next up to the Top 10. Interscope's Rise Against makes a real nice move (#25-18) with their latest single "I Don't Want To Be Here..." Also on Interscope, Lana Del Rey will make her chart debut with "West Coast."
