[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

Debuting #36 on Pop formats;
Debuting #33 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Urban 07/22/19;
via Warner Music/BMG Dist.,
[beginning w/ 4,210 + 875 + 124 Daily US Spins]. – I saw a video of a dude doing a dance to this 10 weeks ago, and just like with Old Town Road, I thought it was just a parity, but based on the fact that people liked it and shared it when I posted I expect this song will be a go also. I actually like this song a little better than Old Town Road, and I suspect others will too because it’s instructional, so people will want to urban line dance to it. I expect this will catch on and be played in the club and it’ll be a group dance song for people at parties for years to come. I expect this will chart Pop and Rhythmic in the 10-20 range. It’ll also eventually get attention in urban and chart in the 15-25 range. – Weak Bump

"PRETTY BITCHES IN THE TRAP" (Summerella),
Debuting #36 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club 06/22/19;
via Zone 4 Inc./Interscope,
[beginning w/ 899 Daily US Spins]. – I don’t like the song. The production could have been more creative, it’s basically just basic drums, and piano keys being attacked. Lyrically it sounds forced, like can we take a few buzzwords and mix them together and we should have a hit; it feels like someone was trying to take a short cut. II don’t see this doing well, it’ll chart in urban but I don’t think it’ll be around long. I thin it’ll chart in the 30-40 range in Urban. – Strong Dump
"SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT" (James Davis),
Debuting #16 on Adult/R&B formats;
Shipped to Urban 08/03/19;
via Motown/Capitol,
[beginning w/ 610 + 111 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a nice little calm song you’d hear on the R&B stations or early in the morning or late at night. It’s kind of boring and unimpressive, the production is basic, it sounds like someone is just leaning on a keyboard an every few measures going up a scale. The singing is also very monotone and airy. It’ll get play on Adult R&B, but it won't appeal to younger audiences. It’ll Chart R&B in the 10-20 range – Weak Dump

Debuting #44 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Shipped to Urban & Pop 08/07/19;
via Atlantic,
[beginning w/ 527 + 271 + 101 Daily US Spins]. – It’s very electric and computer sounding urban pop. It’s not really going to appeal to urban formats, a few urban listeners will listen to it because it has Travis attached to it. It’ll chart rhythmic in the 25-35 range. It may chart pop in the 30-40 range – weak bump
"MOTIVATION" (Normani),
Shipped to Pop & Urban 08/15/19;
via Keep Cool/RCA,
[beginning w/ 375 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a good upbeat song with decent singing. I just don’t know where it fits. The beat feels somewhat urban the singing feels pop. I don’t think this will chart because they not gone know where to place it, because it can’t be boxed in and it doesn’t really lean far enough one way or the other, - Weak Bump
"BLOW MY MIND" (Davido f/ Chris Brown),
Shipped to Tropical, Urban, & Rhythmic/Club 08/06/19;
via Columbia,
[beginning w/ 315 Daily US Spins]. – This is kind of the slower side of Afrobeat. I feel like Afrobeat is going to be treated the same way as reggae, meaning people will only take it seriously when it’s upbeat and can be played in the club. I don’t think American audiences that listen to radio are prepared for the more R&B style of fro beat, so I don’t think it will chart – Weak Dump
"SPIRIT" (Beyonce),
Debuting #29 on Adult/R&B formats;
Shipped to Pop & Urban 07/26/19;
via Parkwood/Columbia,
[beginning w/ 273 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a strongly sang song, that builds up into a big spiritual record. It builds like a big gospel choir song. This will undoubtedly do well on Adult R&B, but other than early morning inspiration for some of the morning shows, I can’t see it getting a whole lot of play on any other format throughout the day. It’ll chart in the 5-15 range in urban – Weak Bump
"HOW YOU WANT IT" (Teyana Taylor f/ King Combs),
Shipped to Urban & Rhythmic/Club 08/09/19;
via GOOD Music/Def Jam,
[beginning w/ 266 Daily US Spins]. – The Mase and Total sample of What you want stand out immediately. They actually used the sample of Curtis Mayfield riff a little rawer than Mase, but added the tell me what you want on top of it just like Total did to give it the familiarity. This jams I can see it getting radio play and being in the club because it’s ratchet. I can see this charting Urban in the 20-30 range – Weak Bump
"HAIR DOWN" (SiR f/ Kendrick Lamar),
Shipped to Urban 08/14/19;
via TDE/RCA,
[beginning w/ 208 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a very simple beat and simple concept. The singing is kind of airy, and Kendricks verse seems unmotivated. I don’t particularly like the song, it’s kind of boring, and it doesn’t sound like a radio single at all. This wouldn’t make me want to check out more music from this artist. I don’t think it’ll chart. – Weak Dump
