BUMP IT Or DUMP IT!, VOL. 135:



[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. 135:

"HOW DO YOU SLEEP" (Sam Smith),
Debuting #20 on Pop formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club & Urban 07/26/19;
via Capitol.,
[beginning w/ 1,753 Daily US Spins]. – It’s an alright song, the singing is on point, but the song as a whole doesn’t do a whole lot for me. It’s not urban or rhythmic, it’s like suburban imitation R&B, it’ll do well on Pop formats and top station/clubs. It’ll easily slide up into the 5-10 or better on Pop formats. I don’t think it will get enough airplay on other formats to crossover. – Weak Bump 

"RANSOM"
(Lil Tecca),
Debuting #21 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
Debuting #46 on Urban formats;
via Galactic/Republic.,
[beginning w/ 1,281 + 674 Daily US Spins]. – I was bored with the song. It’s a regular drum pattern that we hear all of the time and simple xylophone sounds. It’s a good melodic flow, but lyrically it’s not a lot of depth or weight to the creativity of the bars; it just sounds decent. With the state of radio it’s perfectly formatted for radio. It’ll do well on radio, it should chart in the 10-20 range on rhythmic and 20-30 range on Urban. – Weak Dump

"BABY SITTER" (DaBaby f/ Offset),
Debuting #37 on Urban formats;
via SCMG/Interscope.,
[beginning w/ 857 Daily US Spins]. – I like the song, the beat is playful and bouncy, yet simple. I like the flow and the personality he puts into his lyrics. It’s different from what’s currently on the radio, I really don’t think this is a radio single but because he’s on fire right now it’ll work. I can see it charting on Urban in 10-20 range. – Weak Bump 

"ON CHILL" (Wale f/ Jeremih),
Debuting #42 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club 07/11/19;
via MMG/Warner Music.,
[beginning w/ 744 Daily US Spins]. – The “ Ask of You” sample stands out immediately. It’s stereotypically a Wale song, It’s like he keeps making the same type of song over; it’s essentially an updated version of LL Cool J’s I need love format. It’s alright but not stellar and it doesn’t really fit what’s getting a lot of play on rasio currently, neither are they shipping it to Adult /R&B where it might get some spin. I can see this getting play early morning, and late evening but not a lot of play during the midday. I think it’ll chart, just at the low end and only for a short amount of time.  I can see it charting on Urban in the 30-40 range. – Weak Bump

"TIME" (NF),
Debuting #47 on Pop formats;
Shipped to Urban 07/19/19;
via NF Real Music/Caroline Dist.,
[beginning w/ 696 Daily US Spins]. – It sounds like the type of cinematic song that ESPN would play in a montage. He raps on it but it won’t fit most Urban listeners tastes, it’ll do well with suburban kids that listen to Pop formats. It’ll probably chart in the 30-40 range on Pop. – Weak Dump

"WHO DO U LOVE?" (Monsta X f/ French Montana),
Debuting #49 on Pop formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club & Urban 07/13/19;
via Epic.,
[beginning w/ 614 Daily US Spins]. – It sounds very Pop. It’s the type of beat club beat that 90’s and 2000’s pop artist would have dance routines for. French Montanan raps on it, but it won’t have any appeal to Urban radio, I can’t really see it having much interest for rhythmic either. It’s a good one time listen but nothing I’d be interested in hearing frequently. I can see it charting Pop in the 30-40 range. – Weak Dump 

"SINGLE AGAIN" (Big Sean),
Shipped to Urban 07/26/19;
via GOOD Music/Def Jam.,
[beginning w/ 596 Daily US Spins]. – I don’t really like it, I don’t think it’s a radio single. It’s a very simple R&B sounding beat, with mostly just a drum and a keyboard. Honestly, the song is kind of boring to me. It could chart but I don’t see it getting a lot of radio play. Maybe it charts in the 30-40 range on Pop. – Weak Dump

"GOLD ROSES"
(Rick Ross f/ Drake),
Shipped to Urban + Rhythmic/Club 07/24/19;
via MMG/Epic.,
[beginning w/ 187 + 162 Daily US Spins]. – Lyrically the song is alright. But the beat is too weird, it doesn’t jam, it doesn’t catch and it doesn’t stand out. It sounds like they rapping over muffled and distorted singing in the background. It’s slow-moving to the point of being boring. I don’t think this will chart or get a lot of radio play, it’s not a good pick for a single. – Weak Dump

"HOW THIS FEELS"
(R.LUM.R),
Debuting #42 on Adult/R&B formats;
Shipped to Urban 07/27/19;
via Island.,
[beginning w/ 93 + 91 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a very slow-moving and sleepy sounding song. I think it was supposed to sound sleepy but it missed the mark. Nothing about the song really impresses, holds my attention or entertains me. It might chart on Adult R&B in the 30-40 range – Weak Dump
