Hey, buddy! Why don't you pick us up a couple of Macallans and we'll chat about what’s new at three key Mediabase formats? There, there, buddy.
TOP 40
It was a very good week for Warner Bros., capturing #1 Most Added with Jason Derulo f/Snoop Dogg’s “Wiggle,” as well as having a big first week out with Echosmith’s “Cool Kids.” Capitol stays hot, picking up two slots with Sam Smith’s “Stay with Me” for a fourth week and Jennifer Lopez’s “First Love” for a third week. Republic has two newcomers on the list with “Tennis Court” from Lava's Lorde and Avicii’s “Addicted to You” (Island) out of the box. Hollywood‘s back for a third week with Demi Lovato f/Cher Lloyd’s “Really Don’t Care,” along with Epic and Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake’s “Love Never Felt So Good.” Columbia returns with Pharrell Williams’ “Come Get It Bae,” and RCA closes out the action with Shakira’s “Empire.”
RHYTHM
Nicki Minaj’s "Pills N Potions" (YMCMB/Republic) takes top honors again as the Most Added record. Republic also had a solid follow-up week on Lil Wanye f/Drake’s "Believe Me." Columbia's Pharrell Williams was second Most Added and continues to close out with “Come Get It Bae.” Usher’s "Good Kisser," through RCA, and Jeremih’s "Don't Tell Em," through Def Jam, also grabbed a handful of new commitments.
ALTERNATIVE
Coldplay's newest single "A Sky Full of Stars" (Parlophone) is by far away the Most Added record this week at Modern Rock. Dirty Heads make more noise with their latest track "My Sweet Summer." Glassnote's CHVRCHES gain momentum with "Recover," as it’s now on over 20 stations. Republic has a nice week with Lorde's "Tennis Court" and Phantogram's "Black out Days." Meanwhile, Razor & Tie's Pretty Reckless is breaking through with their hit "Heaven Knows."LIVE NATION POSTS (ANOTHER) RECORD QUARTER
