Bump Or Dump

Alright Here are this week's new singles being shipped to radio. These are potential singles that will be taking over your radio station in the upcoming weeks and my opinion of each. You can find a link for this playlist located at the bottom. Enjoy .

"GLORIOUS" (Macklemore f/ Skylar Grey),
Currently #36 on Pop formats;
+ #43 on Rhythmic/Club formats + #57 on Urban formats;
via Macklemore LLC [1323 + 454 + 302 Daily US Spins]. –  Has a nice full sound. It’s full good music, it’s positive. This might be out of season, however. I don’t see it as a summer hit, it probably has a better shot on pop radio stations than urban radio. Decent lyrics, flow, and delivery and has a little head nod factor. I expect it to hear it used in a movie or tv show.  I like it Weak Bump

"RAKE IT UP" (Yo Gotti f/ Nicki Minaj),
Currently #21 on Urban formats;
via CMG/RocNation/Epic [1551 Daily US Spins]. – This is almost too perfect for radio. Should play well in both the dance club and the strip club. It’s simple all the way around, easy to understand, doesn’t require thought or to listen hard, has a simple hook and a few parts for people to remember and yell out when they come up; the masses will eat it up. I personally don’t really like, however.  Weak Dump

"TONE IT DOWN" (Gucci Mane f/ Chris Brown),
Currently #36 on Urban formats;
+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats on 6/23/17;
via GUWOP/1017/Atlantic [763 Daily US Spins]. – The Production is strong and is the best part of the song. Gucci’s flow and delivery are strong even though the are not very clear.  It’s a good song for riding and pumping out of the speakers so on that alone it could catch on big. It could be a decent club record based on the strength of the production.  Weak Bump

"DON'T MATTER" (August Alsina),
Currently #39 on Urban formats;
via Def Jam [660 Daily US Spins]. – This is a strong single. It may be too traditionally R&B for the midday mainstream radio these days. Later in the day and at night, however, this works. It’s also pretty good for riding out to. I’d actually play it around a woman without feeling like it might be too vulgar. It should definitely make some mixtapes, it’s incredibly mixable for a R&B mix-tape.  Strong Bump 

"PERFECT PINT" 
(Mike Will Made It f/ Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, & Rae Sremmurd),
Debuting #47 on Urban formats;
via EarDrummers/Interscope [438 Daily US Spins].  – The beat is honestly nauseating. The entire song has a cloudy feel about it. It may play on the radio, but I don’t see it as a huge smash. It may get some love in the club, early in the night. Overall its way too stripped down, simple and unimaginative. Kendrick Lamar couldn’t even save it as his verse was only so-so. Strong Dump

"SIGNS" (Drake),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats on 6/26/17;
via Young Money/Cash Money/Universal [beginning w/ 149 Daily US Spins]. – People will eat it up because it's Drake and has a familiarity to it. It's honestly very close in pattern to “One Dance”. It's not very interesting or particularly captivating. Radio will probably force it, however Strong Dump, it’s an experience I didn’t have to have.

"DON'T RUSH" (Force M.D.s),
Currently #35 on Adult Contemp. formats;
via Force Music LLC. [119 Daily US Spins]. – It’s well produced, well written and well delivered. It probably won’t get play until the late night love section of radio, it's definitely for mature listeners. I wouldn’t expect it in the club or a party. I don’t think it’s a smash, but a strong album cut. Strong Bump 

"PIE" (Future f/ Chris Brown),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats on 6/27/17;
via A1/Freebandz/Epic.  -  I have no clue what they are really saying or talking about. But it’s up tempo and has a full sound and it’s simple enough that people won't care that its random and unfocused. It’s dumb enough to be a hit on radio and in the club. Weak Bump 

"WISH YOU WELL" (Amir Obe'),
Shipped to Urban formats on 6/19/17;
via Def Jam. -  The Beat is kind of interesting. The lyrics are very simple and not very creative or deep. But it will be perfect for most radio stations. I don’t expect a major hit that’s inescapable, but it’s capable of getting play in between the summer hits. It may work best in the club. I expect someone will do a freestyle or remix over the track.
