TAG, THEY'RE IT: SHAZAM'S BIGGEST MOVERS
Usher's new offering "Crash" (RCA) has moonwalked to the top spot on the Shazam USA Top 100's Biggest Movers list, making this a sunny day for the artist and his old pal/new manager Scooter Braun. It’s been a busy few months for Usher: He’s finishing up his eighth studio album and recently completed the filming of Hands of Stone, a biopic of boxer Roberto Duran hitting 8/26, in which he plays the role of Sugar Ray Leonard.
Jennifer Lopez’s “Ain’t Your Mama"—her first release for Epic—makes nearly as big a jump as Usher, while Drake's new one, "4PM in Calabasas" (YMCMB/Republic), powers to #3. “Raw” from Dutch producer San Holo (see what he did there?) shot to #4, propelled by its use over the end credits in the latest episode of HBO’s brilliant Silicon Valley. Another artist with a whimsical name—but a more familiar one—Mike Will Made-It—rounds out the Top 5 with his Rihanna-featuring “Nothing Is Promised" (Eardruma/Interscope).
On the other side of the ocean, Warner U.K.’s Clean Bandit has another impending hit with "Tears," which pulls into the #1 space on the Shazam U.K. Top 100's Biggest Movers list. The track, featuring X Factor U.K. winner Louisa Johnson (the long-running show’s youngest champ yet), is the first taste from their as-yet untitled sophomore album.
