WEEKLY 9: BUMP IT or DUMP IT!, VOL. 83

[Strong Bump] =Unquestionable Smash Hit.  Extremely rewind-worthy and one of the better records out currently. Next to no flaws to pick out, that you'll be supporting/playing daily.  Something you predict will be a Top-15 Hit or higher.

[Weak Bump] =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] =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 its 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] =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 New 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] 

BUMP IT or DUMP IT!, VOL. 83:

"I LIKE IT"(Cardi B f/ Bad Bunny & J. Balvin),

Debuting @ #34 on Rhythmic/Club formats;

+ Shipped to Urban & Latin-Urban & Pop formats 04/23/18; 

via KSR/Atlantic.,

[beginning w/ 692 + 328 + 80 Daily US Spins].  – This song has a few things going for it: it’s the best song on the album, people love all things Cardi, it’s a very familiar sample, it’s a festive/ party record, and its perfect timing as we’re in spring and heading into summer. It’s the perfect season to drop this song, it’s a perfect storm. I kind of like, I can see this being a top 20 easily. It’ll do well in the clubs for sure. – Weak Bump

"ALL OF A SUDDEN"(Lil Baby f/ MoneyBagg Yo),

Debuting @ #45 on Urban formats;

+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 04/26/18; 

via QC/Caroline Dist.,

[beginning w/ 682 + 202 Daily US Spins].  – It’s a very simple song. But I can easily see this becoming a hit. I wouldn’t be shocked if it goes viral and has some kind of challenge attached to it with people doing their own version, and bragging about what they can’t be seen with also. You’ll probably hear better rappers remake this song and do freestyles over it, I don’t particularly like the song but top 25 is not out the question. -  Weak Bump

"BAG"(BHM f/ Paper Lovee),

Debuting @ #47 on Urban formats;

+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 04/24/18; 

via Run-It-Up.,

[beginning w/ 605 + 185 Daily US Spins]. – I appreciate the flow and cadence. I have mixed feelings about the hook. The lyrics are not that good, but it’s a club type record with matching subject matter, so people may gravitate to it. This has the potential to possibly be a top 35 record or so – Weak Dump

"HOME WITH YOU"(Madison Beer),

Debuting @ #49 on Pop formats;

+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 04/30/18; 

via First Access Ent./Island.,

[beginning w/ 490 Daily US Spins]. – It sounds like a record written for Rihana, it's in her key and cadence. It’s very much a pop record, it’s too pop to expect it to get urban radio play and it not be a Rihana record. I don’t think it will chart in urban. I'm not really a fan of the song – Weak Dump

"FAMILIAR"(Liam Payne f/ J. Balvin),

Debuting @ #50 on Pop formats;

+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Latin-Urban + Urban formats 04/28/18; 

via Capitol.,

[beginning w/ 409 Daily US Spins]. This is kind of jamming, it’s a nice little toe-tapper. It may cross over to multiple formats, but I don’t think it’ll get enough urban spins to chart unless they do a remix with someone familiar. The song is jamming, it will get some club spins and people will know about it. – Weak Bump

"PUSH BACK"(Ne-Yo f/ Stefflon Don & Beba Rexha),

Debuting @ #49 on Rhythmic/Club formats;

+ Shipped to Pop + Tropical + Urban formats 4/29/18;

via Motown.,

[beginning w/ 398 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a good song, and as the temperature rises you can expect more songs like this. But it’s all in timing and this one might be a little ahead of it’s time to jump off the trend. If they’re willing to work this record, around June this could be a serious record. It has top 25 potentials, but it’s a seasonal record so timing is key – Strong Bump

"YE VS. THE PEOPLE"(Kanye West f/ TI),

Shipped to Urban + Rhythmic/Club formats 04/29/18; 

via GOOD Music/Def Jam.,

[beginning w/ 334 + 231 Daily US Spins]. – It’s not really a radio single, but with all of the emotion and controversy surrounding, and considering the artist; the song it’s going to end up easily be a top 10 record. It’s should be a hip-hop classic also, because they creatively turned a real political debate into art – Strong Bump

"FED UP"(Derez De'Shon),

Shipped to Urban + Rhythmic/Club formats 04/30/18; 

via Commission Group/BMG Dist.,

[beginning w/ 303 + 59 Daily US Spins]. –The beat is the best part of the song. The lyrics and subject are alright but the delivery and the hook need work. It could be a lower 30’s recording – Weak Dump 

"LEAVE IT SMOKIN"(Tamia),

Debuting @ #35 on Adult Contemp/R&B;

via 21 Ent. Group/eOne.,

[beginning w/ 114 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a good song, it’ll do well on Urban Contemporary, but I don’t see it crossing over to any other formats, it’s too mature. But I like the song and I’d jam out to it – Weak Bump
