Strong Bump – A hit. I really like it. Rewind worthy. Unquestionable Smash Hit. Extremely rewind-worthy and one of the better records out currently. Next to no flaws to pick out, something that you'll be supporting/playing daily. Something you predict will be a Top-15 Hit or higher.
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.

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]
GO GET SUM MO"
(Young Dolph f/ Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, & Ty Dolla $ign),
Debuting #50 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 11/25/17;
via Paper Route Emp./EMPIRE Dist.
[beginning w/ 474 + 149 Daily US Spins]. – This was an underwhelming and low energy experience; nobody brought any energy or effort to the track. No one raised the level of competition or tried to push and bring out the best in each other. It could possibly chart, but I don’t see it running to the top or staying on the charts for an extended amount of time. – Weak Dump
"STAND UP FOR SOMETHING" (Andra Day f/ Common),
Debuting #29 on Adult Contemp/R&B formats;
+ Shipped to Urban formats 11/12/17;
via Warner Bros.
[beginning w/ 257 + 52 Daily US Spins]. – It’s an empowering song, unfortunately radio doesn’t promote many empowering or positive messages, so I don’t expect this to be around for very long. The rap sound a little out of place and forced. I expect the majority of the spins for this to be played early in the morning and you’ll get possible smattering of it throughout the day. It’ll be tough sledding to keep it on the charts because there’s very little cross over potential – weak bump
"[FUCK] LOVE" (XXXTentacion f/ Trippie Redd),
Debuting #48 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 11/20/17;
via Bad Vibes Forever/EMPIRE Dist.
[beginning w/ 150 + 76 Daily US Spins]. – I can see this possibly being on the low levels of the charts. It’s not a true radio single, would bring down the mood in the club. If it gets radio play, I’d expect to hear it in the late evening hours when things are whining down. – Weak Bump
"NICE & SLOW" (Ball Greezy f/ Lil Dred),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 11/24/17;
via Go-Star Music/EMPIRE Dist.
[beginning w/ 115 Daily US Spins]. – The use of the Freddie Jackson Nice and Slow sample definitely helps make it more interesting. The flows are good but the rhyme scheme is fairly simple and the vocab is basic. This is a radio single, but it doesn’t seem like a national hit, it’s something I would expect to be local, regional and underground. Sounds like something you’d hear on a pirated radio station. Id also expect to hear this in the strip club or at a college party. Im not sure it’ll chart at all. – Weak dum
"SAVED" (Khalid),
Shipped to Adult Contemp/R&B formats;
+ Urban formats 11/15/17;
via RCA Records.
[beginning w/ 98 Daily US Spins]. – It’s not bad, but it’s not moving. The talent is not stand out, the writing or production doesn’t stand out. It equals out to background noise
"THE RACE" (Tay-K),
Shipped to Urban formats 11/21/17;
via Tay-K Inc/916% Ent.
[beginning w/ 83 Daily US Spins]. – Horrible! It’s unprofessional, off beat and way out of the pocket. He’s not even trying to establish a flow, just trying to force lines together and the bars aren’t hot, creative or skillfully crafted. – Strong Dump
"KRIPPY KUSH RMX"
(Farruko f/ Bad Bunny, Nicki Minaj, Rvssian, & 21 Savage),
Shipped to Pop formats + Rhythmic/Club formats;
+ Urban formats 12/4/17;
via Carbon Fiber Music/Sony Music Latin.
[beginning w/ 76 + 135 Daily US Spins]. – I don’t like it, but it’s catchy and it has a lot of star power. I can see this catching on and raising up the charts quick. I can hear it in the club, and pumping out of systems driving down the road. It’s mixable, it stands out. This could go to the top of the charts and be there for a while – Weak Bump
"STAND UP" (Fabolous & Jadakiss f/ Future),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 11/17/17;
via Street Fam/D-Block/Def Jam.
[beginning w/ 36 + 34 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a radio single, just not a big radio single. It’s not contrived. Its not the best beat for their talents, but they make it work and adapt pretty well to it. I honestly don’t expect this to get a lot of radio spins, but if it doesit’ll probably get mid day and afternoon spins, and it’ll probably be in the middle of the charts and fall away relatively quickly. – Weak Bump
"GOD WANTS ME 2 BALL"
(Boosie Badazz f/ London Jae),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 11/29/17;
via Trill/Bad Azz/Atlantic. - It doesn’t sound like a radio single, its more of an end of an album track. Part motivational, part bragging and reminiscing through song. It’s not very mixable, would be out of place in the club. And I can’t think of a time when it would be on radio, my best guess would be early morning, I’d be shocked to see this chart. – Weak Bump
