And we’re back … or at least it sure feels like it if you’re looking at all the new releases that are dropping by the majors. It truly feels great to have multiple new tracks being released from artists… unless you’re the PDs trying to figure out how to add four tracks at a time! Oh well, these are good problems to have!

Columbia’s Gray, Burruss, Bedard, Stevens & Brenner continue their extra hot streak with The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber’s “Stay” as the #1 Most Added track this week. It scored a whopping 137 adds out of the box and it’s already Top 25 in just a few days. Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)” has reached the #1 position on the Mediabase chart after a 14-week campaign. BTS’ “Butter” is currently Top 10 and they’ve just had a 6th week at #1 on the Hot 100. Polo G’s “RAPSTAR” is starting to cross over after massive success at Rhythm and Urban. It’s now in the Top 30 and still climbing. Columbia, along with RECORDS’ Strazza, have Nelly & Florida Georgia Line’s “Lil Bit” in the Top 15. They’ve done a great promo job of getting radio to pay attention to this real hit!

Trinidad and his vibe seem like the sound Chicago needs, and we are excited to give our audience what they yearn for in 2021: fun music. Excited to see this thing go and for Trinidad to shine,” said Brady Broski, APD/MD, WKSC.
