BUMP IT! or DUMP IT!, VOL. 97







[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. 97:

 Simple rules: 
Here’s 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]

-----------------------------

"SICKO MODE" (Travis Scott f/ Drake & Swae Lee),
Debuting @ #18 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Debuting @ #26 on Urban formats;
via Cactus Jack/Grand Hustle/Epic.,
[beginning w/ 1,932 + 1,488 Daily US Spins]. – It seems like an unlikely choice for radio because of the production complexities, with the beat changes and movements. It also seems a little long for a radio single. The song honestly left me with an empty feeling, I don’t really like it, don’t really hate it. Its just meh, besides the neat changes nothing else really stood out to me. It doesn’t sound like anything else on the radio so it may have that going for it. It will probably be in the 20-30 range– Weak Dump 

"PROMISES"(Calvin Harris f/ Sam Smith),
Debuting @ #34 on Pop formats; 
Shipping to Urban + Rhythmic/Club on 8/23/18;
via Columbia.,
[beginning w/ 1,325 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a nice little dance record for the clubs, but I don’t think it’ll resonate with the larger Urban audiences nor chart on urban formats. It’s definitely more for pop, probably somewhere in the 20-25 range. I’m not a real fan of the song, it just doesn’t do much for me, it's not something I really want to listen to.– Weak Dump 

"ICE ON MY BABY" (Yung Bleu),
Debuting @ #45 on Urban formats; 
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club on 8/25/18;
via YB2018/916% Ent/Bad Azz Music.,
[beginning w/ 672 Daily US Spins]. – It’s not bad this is pretty decent. The beat and the flow of it are alright. It has a familiar sound so it fits current radio playlist and club setlist. I’m not a huge fan of it, it’s simple and not all that creative,  but it’s what I’d expect to hear in the club. It sounds like something that would get play throughout the day.– Weak Bump

"2 VAULTS" (Tee Grizzley f/ Lil Yachty),
Debuting @ #45 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club on 8/18/18;
via 300 Ent/Atlantic.,
[beginning w/ 657 Daily US Spins]. – I like it. I like the beat first and foremost. Both artists do an acceptable and a better than their average job of getting into the pocket and using the right flow for the beat. It kind of sounds like a solid album cut or a mixtape track, if this plays on radio I think it’ll chart in the 35-45 range and it’ll have to fight to stay on the charts, I could see this playing in the club, but it’d be one of those early in the night songs.– Weak Bump

"2 SEATER" (DJ Holiday f/ Quavo & 21 Savage),
Debuting @ #47 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club on 8/26/18;
via 916% Ent/TrapHouse.,
[beginning w/ 597 Daily US Spins]. – I was a little bored by this track. It doesn’t seem new or fresh. I feel like I’ve heard this type of beat, this flow, this type of collaboration, this subject matter, concept, and vocabulary over and over again; and I’m honestly waiting to see what else they can do, because they’re not improving, and I’m not impressed anymore. I expect this will probably be in the lower 30’s-45 range.   – Weak Dump 

"VEGAS" (Poo Bear f/ LAZR),
Debuting @ #50 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Pop on 8/26/18;
via Bearthday Music LLC.,
[beginning w/ 517 Daily US Spins]. – This doesn’t work for me. It didn’t sound like the beat and the lyrics gelled together, something sounded off. It supposed to be a live it up and party type of song but I didn’t feel that energy; the entire song never came together for me. If this charts I expect maybe 40-45, and it barely holds on and has to fight to stay on the charts.– Strong Dump 

"RING" (Cardi B f/ Keylani), 
Debuting @ #48 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Urban + Pop on 8/28/18;
via Atlantic.,
[beginning w/ 265 Daily US Spins]. – I like this, it’s a nice complete sounding song. It's good song making. This will definitely be a radio smash across multiple formats. This will be in the top 5 of Urban real soon, I expect it to rise rapidly. This will probably spin sometime in the top 10 of Pop and Rhythmic also. Cardi has another one on her hands.– Strong Bump 

"SO MUCH LIFE" (Ready For The World),
Debuting @ #33 on Adult Contemp/R&B formats;
Shipped to Urban 8/21/18;
via RFTW Music.,
[beginning w/ 153 Daily US Spins]. – Man, that’s a throwback type of jam right there. They gave me a little bit of everything right down to an instrument solo. I really like that. Unfortunately, it has no shot to chart on Urban formats, it may get some early morning syndicated show spins or some late night love spins but that s about it. This could easily be in the 15-20 range on Adult Contemporary, and that’s where it’ll get the majority of its spins.– Strong Bump 

"THROUGH IT ALL" (Tamela Mann f/ Timbaland),
Debuting @ #39 on Adult Contemp/R&B formats;
Shipped to Urban on 7/23/18;
via Tilly Mann Music Group/eOne.,
[beginning w/ 89 Daily US Spins]. – That’s beautiful, that’s high-quality song making right there, she took us to church. But unfortunately its too good and too mature for urban radio, it doesn’t have a chance to chart. It might get some early morning inspirational spins and syndicated show morning spins. Gospel stations and Sunday Morning shows will show it support. But it’ll be in the 10-20 range on Adult Contemporary formats and will probably rise rapidly.  –Strong Bump
