Strong Bump – A hit. I really like it. Rewind worthy

Weak Bump – It’s listenable. Something You have to be in the mood to listen to. Not Bad

Weak Dump – Don’t really like it. Might like parts of it but not the whole composition. Could grow on you. Underwhelming

Strong Dump – Get rid of it. Absolutely don’t like it. Garbage. Hate It

"THERE'S NOTHING HOLDIN' ME BACK" (Shawn Mendes),

Currently #1 on Pop formats;

via Island/Universal [18,105 Daily US Spins]. – It’s catchy and whimsical. It has a little bit of crossover appeal. I don’t expect it to be played in urban clubs or radio, but its one of those songs that eclectic people will somehow know. – Weak Bump

"#WHITEGIRLVOICE" (RajiTheOne),

Currently #45 on Urban formats;

via ROQA/EMPIRE Dist. [545 Daily US Spins]. – It has a Drake vibe to it. This can be a positive or a negative. Overall decent lyrics, decent production. The concept and creativity are the strength of the song. It could work on radio or in the club. – Weak Bump

"TEXT UR NUMBER" (DJ Envy f/ Fetty Wap & DJ Sliink),

Debuting #47 on Urban formats;

via Commission Music Group/BMG [468 Daily US Spins]. – Has major crossover potential. I expect this to get play in a lot of pop, top 40 stations, and clubs more than urban. It has definite party appeal. It's one of those songs that can get played out quickly because you can’t escape it. – Weak Bump

"NEW RULES" (Dua Lipa),

Debuting #47 on Pop formats;

+ Shipping to Urban formats 8/22/17;

via DL Ltd/Warner Bros Music [353 Daily US Spins]. – Okay, this also has major crossover potential. It's super mixable. I can hear this being played outright or mixed into almost any kind of set from EDM to Carribean. Probably needs a remix to get heavy urban play, but I dig. – Weak Bump

"HEARTLESS" (YFN Lucci f/ Rick Ross),

Shipped to Urban formats 7/31/17;

via Think It's A Game Ent. [215 Daily US Spins]. – It’s simple. It has a decent beat. The obvious selling point is the Rick Ross verse. It doesn’t really stand out, but can be easily mixed and should work on radio or club sets. – Weak Bump

"FLOOD WATCH" (Juicy J f/ Offset),

Shipped to Urban formats & Rhythmic/Club formats 8/6/17;

via Columbia [213 Daily US Spins]. – It sounds different than anything currently on the radio. But I don’t see this as a single for club or radio honestly, sounds more like an album cut. Currently, this would be hard to mix the whole song into a set because it's so different. You could mix the part of the beat that transitions in a mix. If this were to work it would completely change the sound of what’s out currently out –Weak Bump.

"DIE FOR YOU" (The Weeknd),

Debuting #35 on Adult Contemp. formats;

+ Shipped to Urban formats 8/12/17;

via XO/Republic [122 Daily US Spins]. - Strong Production. Strong Transitions. Has that signature Weeknd sound. This has all kind of potential. This may be a big one across multiple formats. – Strong Bump

"DANGEROUS GAME" (112),

Debuting #37 on Adult Contemp. formats;

+ Shipped to Urban formats 8/16/17;

via One Twelve Music/eOne [116 Daily US Spins]. – It’s missing the “It Factor” that makes it a hit. It's alright but definitely missing something. This is an album cut, but it may get some spins on the late night R&B segments. – Weak Bump

"RAF"

(A$AP Mob f/ A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert, & Frank Ocean),

Shipped to Urban formats 7/10/17;

via ASAP Worldwide/Polo Grounds/RCA [67 Daily US Spins]. – I can see it getting club, and pumping out of car systems because of the bass. I can see it on mixtapes, and maybe a little radio, but not prime time or constant consistent all day radio play. It's mixable, but because it sounds so much like everything out it’s not essential. – Weak Bump
