Drake still holds it down with “The Motto” f/Lil Wayne building inside the Top 10 with taking the #3 Greatest Gainer, blowing up “e’ryday, e’rday” for e’ryone at Rhythm heading Top 5 with a #11 -6, +590 move. He’s sold a million singles, making it the #12 iTunes single. And, Universal Republic’s Gary, Davey and Alisa keep it moving for “Take Care” f/Rihanna nailing the #4th Greatest Gainer too, jumping #22 -18, +113. Drizzy’s also sold 700K with this one too! WQHT’s Ebro and Karlie slam it 112X, with WPGC’s Jason, WPOW’s Jill and Erik, KYLD’s Cat and Travis and KDON’s Sam and Eric closely trailing them. Tyga’s “Rack City” is the #1 Greatest Gainer and makes a move for Top 10, as he goes #13 -11, +628. KBOS’ Greg and DJ Erb hit it 116X, and WMBX’s Louie, WDHT’s Scott and KISV’s J. Reed play catch up.

WZPW’s Jason and Amanda report #1 phones, KUUU’s Kevin and Booker, and KCAQ’s Big Bear and Joey Boy, and KKUU’s Antdog and Ron T. get Top 10s. Dev’s “Naked” grabs the Top 5 Greatest Gainer position, with 2 versions for radio, one f/Enrique Eglesias and one f/T. Pain.

WPGC’s Jason scores Top 10 research, and is out front in spins, with WHWT’s Fresh, WCKX’s Big Bink and WZMX’s Buck playing catch up. T. Mills’ “Vans On” impacts with a gang of stations already playing, setting him up to chart ASAP too. I heard it yesterday on KPWR’s New @ 2 and it sounds great on air! KBOS calls in their early add this week, and leads the country in airplay, followed by KISV, KKUU and KHTN. Top 10 phone stories come out tha’ gate at KUUU, KISV and KZFM… At RCA, Strazza, Beata and Kevin, focus on delivering Chris Brown’s “Strip” f/Kevin McCall Top 10, taking it off #16 -14, +341.

Pain’s returns, officially on 2/13, with “Turn All The Lights On” f/Neyo. KPWR’s Jimmy and Eman premiered it last week and they’re already featuring it on New @ 2. There’s also early love coming from WJMN’s Dylan and Pup Dawg, WRCL’s Clay and Ian, WNHT’s Shady and KCAQ’s Big Bear and Joey Boy.
