Weak Bump – It’s listenable. Something you have to be in the mood to listen to. Not Bad. A Good Moderate Hit. Quality & above average; has more positives than negatives. Might need to grow on you/others, but could catch on. Not a clear smash hit, but something you'd genuinely want people to check out, so you’ll be supporting/playing it occasionally. Something you predict will be a Top-50 hit.
Weak Dump – Don’t really like it. Might like parts of it but not the whole composition. Could grow on you. Underwhelming. Sup-Par Record. Not bad, but definitely missing the mark somewhere. More negatives than positives. Listenable, as you might like some parts but not the whole composition. You don’t hate it and could understand it’s buzz, but you know you won’t be supporting/playing it much. Something you predict that won’t be on airwaves very long or have much replay value.
Strong Dump – Get rid of it. Absolutely don’t like it. Garbage. Hate It.
Complete Trash. A record you absolutely hate and has next to no positives at all. Garbage, and a waste of your time; that you’d want to warn people away from. Something that you’re sure you’ll never be supporting/playing ever; and predict that it’ll fail commercially.

No drop off this week
Now for this week's singles.
Simple rules:
As we do every week, I'll give you the Top-9 new singles officially sent to Urban-format radio stations, that are either beginning to chart right now or expected to chart soon. In exchange, you can have & listen to them, and personally comment below, stating if you would *Bump It* or *Dump It* for each record and why... [Strong Bump, Weak Bump, Weak Dump, or Strong Dump]
"BARTIER CARDI" (Cardi B f/ 21 Savage),
Debuting #46 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats;
+ Pop formats 12/26/17;
via Atlantic.
[beginning w/ 550 + 290 + 89 Daily US Spins]. I honestly really don’t like it. It’s lyrically wack, 21’s verse is slightly better than Cardi’s, but the established cadence easily fools you into believing that it’s skillful lyrics are being displayed. This should do well on radio and in the club and I expect a high volume of daily spins considering who’s on the track. – Weak Bump
"STIR FRY" (Migos),
Debuting #47 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 12/20/17;
via Quality Control/Capitol/Motown.
[beginning w/ 525 + 114 Daily US Spins] – It’s a different style of production and hook for Migos. So that’s a positive. But lyrically it’s still hook repetitive, simple, low skilled and minute in vocabulary usage, I expect it to get radio play, a lot of people will like it without knowing that it’s Migos and then it will really cross over. – Weak Bump
"BEST FRIEND"
(Sofi Tukker f/ NERVO, The Knocks, & Alisa Ueno),
Shipped to Pop formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 12/19/17;
via HeavyRoc Music Inc.
[beginning w/ 435 + 101 Daily US Spins]. – I'm not sure if it's for the radio. But it has a place in the marketing world. I guarantee you’ll hear this sync licensed on commercials and in movies or television. It’s pretty good, I can’t see a lot of crossover appeal. But in rhythmic and pop it’ll be perfect. – Weak Bump
"ICE TRAY" (Quality Control f/ Quavo & Lil Yachty),
Shipped to Urban formats 12/25/17;
via Quality Control/Capitol/Motown.
[beginning w/ 89 Daily US Spins]. The beat is alright, The hook is wack and I'm not sure of the purpose of the song. If it’s supposed to be a diss record towards Joe Budden it’s severely missing some necessary qualities of a great diss record (direct, disrespectful, shocking, straight to the point and replayable). This just sounds like trolling or taking a quick shot at Joe Budden. Lyrically and flow wise it’s subpar. I don’t expect a lot of radio play, it kind of blends in. – Weak Dump
"ROCKET" (En Vogue),
Shipped to Adult Contemp./R&B formats;
+ Urban formats 12/26/17;
via eOne.
[beginning w/ 51 Daily US Spins]. – This is classic R&B. It’ll do well with older crowds, but I don’t think most of the urban formats will give it a chance; not that it’s not modern. This level of artistry and professionalism just doesn’t get pushed to the masses anymore. This will be a big hit in concert. – Weak Bump
"HOLA" (Flo-Rida f/ Maluma),
Shipped to Latin/Tropical formats 12/16/17;
Shipping to Rhythmic/Club formats;
+ Urban formats 1/5/18;
via International Music/Poe Boy/Atlantic.
[beginning w/ 37 Daily US Spins]. I can definitely see it on pop and Latin formats, it’s partyish but it too bubble gum most urban formats. Should do well in top 40, open format and pop clubs. I'm not sure how much radio play it will receive and I don’t expect it to cross over. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t really do it for me. – Weak Dump
"DREAM KILLA" (Xscape),
Shipped to Adult Contemp./R&B formats 12/26/17;
via eOne.
[beginning w/ 34 Daily US Spins]. –It’s nice and smooth, but it doesn’t seem like a radio single and definitely not the type of splash Xscape would need to generate a buzz for them getting back together. It’s not a bad song, just not a big hit and I don’t expect it to get a lot of radio play. – Weak Bump
"RESET" (Ohio Players),
Shipped to Adult Contemp./R&B formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 12/7/17;
via Fire 4 Hire/KES Dist.
[beginning w/ 21 Daily US Spins]. – It’s not bad, it just sounds way out of place. I don’t think it has a shot on the radio, not even on adult contemporary with older crowds. I don’t think it’s a single, but I’m glad the Ohio players are still making music – Weak Dump
"PHONE JUMPIN" (Dave East f/ Wiz Khalifa),
Shipped to Urban formats 12/7/17;
via Mass Appeal/Def Jam. – Doesn’t sound like a radio single. It sounds like something for a mixtape or a mix show but not what you would expect to hear on regular radio. I don’t expect much radio play. - Weak Dump

It‘s a week of possibilities for new singles, nothing guaranteed. We’ll just have to see what happens with the majority of these in the New Year, because they can go either way.
