WEEKLY 9: BUMP IT! or DUMP IT!, VOL. 89

[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.

Green = Rising

Red = Declining

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] 

"BETTER NOW"(Post Malone),

Debuting @ #21 on Pop formats;

Debuting @ #17 on Rhythmic/Club;

+ Shipped to Urban 06/12/18; 

via Republic.,

[beginning w/ 4,578 + 1,910 + 189 Daily US Spins]. – Doesn’t sound like an urban format recording. It’s cool for Pop and Rhythmic, I don’t expect this will chart in the top 45 for Urban. –Weak Dump

"GROWING PAINS"(Alessia Cara),

Debuting @ #23 on Pop formats;

+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban 06/16/18; 

via Def Jam/Universal.,

[beginning w/ 3,011 + 187 + 114 Daily US Spins].  – It’s a good song and she can really sing, but the song doesn’t sound like a song for urban formats. I don’t expect it to crossover or chart in the top 45 of Urban Formats – Weak Dump

"YIKES"(Kanye West),

Debuting @ #25 on Urban formats;

Debuting @ #31 on Rhythmic/Club formats;

+ Shipped to Pop 06/17/18; 

via GOOD Music/Def Jam.,

[beginning w/ 1,315 + 891 Daily US Spins]. – It doesn’t really sound like a radio single to me, but it’s probably the best song on his album, and the album has slim pickings. I supposed it’ll be a go and they’ll put a slight push behind it because it’s Kanye. This’ll probably end up in the top 10-15 just because of who it is. I’m not really a fan of the song, however – Weak Bump

"APESHIT"(The Carters),

Debuting @ #30 on Urban formats;

Debuting @ #45 on Rhythmic/Club formats;

+ Shipped to Pop 06/24/18; 

via Parkwood/RocNation.

[beginning w/ 1,068 + 578 Daily US Spins].  It definitely matches the type of stuff on the radio currently. It’ll probably end up charting in the top 5. I don’t particularly like the song, it’s beneath both of them to use this kind of a gimmick at this point in their careers – Weak Dump

"BED"(Nicki Minaj f/ Ariana Grande),

Debuting @ #39 on Pop formats;

Debuting @ #37 on Rhythmic/Club; 

Shipped to Urban + Pop 06/22/18; 

via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic/Universal.,

[beginning w/ 989 + 805 Daily US Spins].  – It’s fit for other formats but unless the sound in urban is about to take a dramatic shift this doesn’t sound like a single for urban formats. – Weak Dump

"GANG OVER LUV"(Brent Faiyaz),

Debuting @ #37 on Urban formats;

Shipped to Rhythmic/Club 06/14/18; 

via Lost Kids LLC.,

[beginning w/ 892 + 191 Daily US Spins].  – This sounds like a small record, it’s something I’d expect to hear locally but not nationwide. I wouldn’t expect this get higher than the top 30-35 range, and I wouldn’t expect it to stick around very long – Weak Dump

"WIN"(Jay Rock),

Debuting #39 on Urban formats;

+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club 06/15/18; 

via TDE/Interscope.,

[beginning w/ 817 + 102 Daily US Spins].  – It’s a very different delivery for Jay Rock, but it fits the current type of music played on Urban formats currently. It’s simple and stripped down, but it has a big beat and it has an easy to remember hook and several parts that are made for singing along too. It’s one of the better songs on his album and it won me over. He could have another top 10 on his hands, especially after the success of Kings Dead – Strong Bump

"BIG BANK"(YG f/ 2 Chainz, Big Sean, & Nicki Minaj),

Debuting @ #32 on Rhythmic/Club formats; 

Debuting @ #41 on Urban formats; 

via 400/CTE World/Def Jam.,

[beginning w/ 825 + 738 Daily US Spins].  – It’s a star-studded track, but it’s a very disappointing track; no one really showed out or took the lead on the track. The beat is not very special the hook is lackluster, it’s not very catchy so it doesn’t grow on you. I expect it to be a top 20-30 chart – Weak Dump

"BACK TO LIFE"(Russ),

Debuting @ #37 on Rhythmic/Club formats; 

Shipped to Urban + Pop 06/09/18; 

via Russ My Way Inc./Columbia.,

[beginning w/ 755 + 127 + 73 Daily US Spins].  – This is catchy, its perfect for the radio, it has the potential to crossover to multiple formats. It’s well written and put together. It’s a good bit different than what urban radio is currently playing, this could chart somewhere in the top 30- 40 range. – Weak Bump
