[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

BUMP IT or DUMP IT, VOL. 100:
Simple rules:
Here are the Top-9 new singles officially sent to Urban-based radio formats, 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]
-----------------------------
"YOU"(Jacquees),
Debuting @ #40 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club & Pop on 9/11/18;
via 4275 Ent./Cash Money/Republic.,
[beginning w/ 816 + 171 Daily US Spins]. – I’m not really a fan of his voice. It’s not an impressive voice to me, there’s one dude in every hood or talent show that sounds just like him. The song itself is not all that impressive to me either, it doesn’t move me one way or the other. I expect that this song will have a short-lived time on the charts, probably chart in the 30-35 range then fizzle out. – Weak Dump
"WHERE THE BAG AT?"(City Girls),
Debuting @ #41 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club on 9/23/18;
via QC/Capitol.,
[beginning w/ 814 Daily US Spins]. – It has a nostalgic southern feel. Its part/club music, it’s ratchet, raw and uncut, the skills aren’t great but at least there’s a lyrical and song making structure, clear words, and it makes sense. The beat is pretty decent. This should get to the 30-35 range. – Weak Bump
"LIL BEBE"(Danileigh),
Debuting @ #45 on Urban formats;
Debuting @ #44 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Pop on 9/17/18;
via Def Jam.,
[beginning w/ 665 + 391 Daily US Spins]. – I like the beat. It’s not bad I just feel like it probably could be executed better. The chorus part is decent the in-between I'm not so much feeling. The singing is ok the lyrics could be further developed. I could see it playing on the radio, and based on the beat I could hear it in the club. I expect it to chart in the 40-45 range for both Urban and Rhythmic. – Weak Bump
"NEVER CALL ME"(Jhene Aiko f/ YG),
Debuting @ #50 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club on 9/17/18;
via ARTium/Def Jam.,
[beginning w/ 531 + 93 Daily US Spins]. – It’s pretty good, it’s about standard for Jhene Aiko. I think I’d have rather heard it without the YG verse, I don’t think his verse was a necessary addition that elevated the song. I don’t think it took away from the song but it didn’t elevate it. Id like for Jhene to step it up some, this song doesn’t really challenge her vocal, or artistry. I expect it could chart in the 35-40 range. – Weak Bump
"THE FLUTE SONG"(Russ),
Currently @ #40 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Urban on 9/16/18;
via Diemon/Columbia.,
[beginning w/ 504 + 118 Daily US Spins]. – I like Russ, I like this song. The beat matches the type of sound currently being played on the radio, the hook and adlibs also match what’s currently on the radio. The lyrical ability is what’s different. I’d say this has a chance to chart in the 30-35 range on urban and rhythmic. – Weak Bump
"THAT MAGIC"(India.Arie),
Debuting @ #19 on Adult Contemp/R&B formats;
Shipped to Urban on 9/16/18;
via Soulbird Music/BMG Dist.,
[beginning w/ 461 + 36 Daily US Spins]. – It’s not an urban record. It's not her best work, but I can listen to it. It won’t get massive push or airplay, but it may get some early morning show or late night love spins. Adult contemporary will gladly embrace it. It will chart in 15-20 range for Adult Contemporary charts – Weak Bump
"DTF"(The Game f/ YG & Ty Dolla $ign),
Debuting @ #44 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Urban on 9/22/18;
via Blood Money Ent./eOne Dist.,
[beginning w/ 393 + 167 Daily US Spins]. – Ok, the Snoop Dogg, “Aint no Fun” sample is what gone make it a go, but it doesn’t jam half as hard a the original. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear it on the radio, but it doesn’t feel like a radio single; it doesn’t have the catchiness or the bounce, it feels like a popular album cut. I can see it getting a few spins on Urban and Rhythmic, and barely sneaking into the top 45, and fighting to stay on both charts. It’ll probably be in the 40-45 range on Urban and Rhythmic – Weak Bump
"OVERDOSE"(Agnez Mo f/ Chris Brown),
Debuting @ #47 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Urban on 9/21/18;
via Aquarius/300 Ent./Atlantic,
[beginning w/ 365 Daily US Spins]. – Not an urban record, I don’t see how it fits into that rotation. It’s a better fit for Rhythmic and Pop formats. I could definitely see it being played in dance clubs or played with and fit into an EDM set of some kind. I can see it in the 35-40 range in Rhythmic and 40-45 range if it submitted to Pop. I’m not a fan of the song, however. – Weak Dump
"JUST MY TYPE"(Tiana),
Debuting @ #50 on Pop formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club & Urban on 9/23/18;
via Bungalo/Heritage Music/Universal.,
[beginning w/ 231 + 56 Daily US Spins]. – I’m not really a fan of the song, it’s pretty standard, it doesn’t really do much to stand out. But I could see it getting a little bit play in Urban and Rhythmic. I expect it’ll charts at the bottom of both of those charts by getting right to the 45 marks. – Weak Bump
