BUMP IT or DUMP IT, Vol 79

[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 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]

"DONE FOR ME"(Charlie Puth f/ Kehlani),
Debuting @ #47 on Pop formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 03/30/18;
via Atlantic.,
[beginning w/ 554 + 134 Daily US Spins]. This is real nice, it has a slight 80’s production feel to it, its borderline a dance track It’s a great collaboration. It’s a very repeat worthy, has the head nod factor and it’s pretty catchy. I think it’s a lock for pop and rhythmic spins, I hope it gets some urban spins. Ill say this is a top 15 hit if it’s given a chance to succeed. – Strong Bump

"G.O.A.T."(Eric Bellinger f/ Wale),
Debuting @ #46 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 03/23/18;
via Epic/Sony.,
[beginning w/ 583 Daily US Spins]. – This is a hit, if this is not at the top of the charts, it’s a real problem. This is top 5 -10 material easily, it goes hard. This should shoot up the charts swiftly. It’s a really good collaboration and great chemistry between the two artists. It fits well on urban formats, it’ll do well in clubs, it’s repeatable and it’s a record that sounds like it’ll be played at any part of the day – Strong Bump

"WE DON'T LUV EM"(Hoodrich Pablo Juan f/ Gucci Mane),
Debuting @ #49 on Urban formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 04/01/18;
via Hoodrich Prod./1017 Eskimo/Alamo.,
[beginning w/ 481 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a good party record, should play well in the club. The beat is infectious; I expect to hear this jamming out of car stereos. Both verses are pretty decent. It fits urban radio, but it also stands apart from what’s currently on the charts – Weak Bump

"BE CAREFUL"(Cardi B.),
Shipped to Urban + Rhythmic/Club formats 04/01/18;
via Atlantic.,
[beginning w/ 451 Daily US Spins]. This sounds like a semi-personal record, it’s a big deviation from the party type records she’s been putting out. I expect it to be given a chance so I expect this to probably be a top 25-30 album. I’m not really a fan of the flow or the beat but it could kind of grow on me. – Weak Dump

"CATCH A BODY"(Livvia f/ Quavo),
Debuting @ #50 on Pop formats;
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 04/01/18;
via 'VIA Music/eOne.,
[beginning w/ 434 Daily US Spins]. This doesn’t sound like a urban record other than having Quavo on it. This wil do well on pop formats, I’m not sure it even charts on urban, I don’t think it’ll slide into the top 45 – Strong Dump

"PRAY RMX"(Sam Smith f/ Logic),
Shipped to Pop + Urban + Adult Contemp/R&B formats 04/01/18;
via Capitol.,
[beginning w/ 249 Daily US Spins]. – Im not sure if Urban will give it a chance, the climate is not right for it currently. It’s a good song and collaboration, but I think it’ll get most of its traction on pop and adult contemporary formats. If it gets on urban it’ll be a top 35-40 record and only stick around for a few weeks – Weak Bump

"LOVE YOU BETTER"(King Combs f/ Chris Brown),
Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 03/30/18;
via Bad Boy/Epic.,
[beginning w/ 111 Daily US Spins]. – First thing that stands out is the Case Touch me Tease Me sample. The second thing that stands out is how much he sounds like his pops Diddy. Its not a bad sing, its just not great. This could go either way. Maybe it’s a top 35 song. – Weak Dump

"SIDEPIECE ON THE SIDE"(Willie Clayton),
Shipped to Adult Contemp./R&B formats 03/27/18;
via EndZone Ent.,
[beginning w/ 59 Daily US Spins]. I don’t see it getting on urban radio. Maybe not even Adults contemporary. That’s a very localized blues sounding song that you’d expect to ear only on weekends or holiday weekends when certain radio stations play for the older folks – Weak Bump

"LATE NIGHT LOVER"(Walter Beasley f/ Raheem DeVaughn),
Debuting @ #46 on Adult Contemp./R&B formats;
via Affable/Shanachie.,
[beginning w/ 57 Daily US Spins]. Not sure it gets into the Urban Markets, but it’ll tear it up on Adult Contemporary, R&B, and smooth Jazz stations. It’s a really good song, but younger crowds wont give it a fair shake, older crowds will love it. Its real smooth, it’s for steppers and two steppers, or it can be played in quiet storm sets. – Strong Bump

BUMP IT! or DUMP IT!, VOL. 78

Strong Bump– A hit. I really like it. Rewind worthy. Unquestionable Smash Hit. Extremely rewind-worthy and one of the better records out currently. Next to no flaws to pick out, something that you'll be supporting/playing daily. Something you predict will be a Top-15 Hit or higher.

Weak Bump– It’s listenable. Something you have to be in the mood to listen to. Not Bad. 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– Don’t really like it. Might like parts of it but not the whole composition. Could grow on you. Underwhelming. 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 it’s 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– Get rid of it. Absolutely don’t like it. Garbage. Hate It.

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.

Some show will definitely use it as the soundtrack to a night out on the town. I can see it getting radio play, but not necessarily heavy radio play on the urban side. Probably a top 30 record. But if it catches on in other formats I can see it doing well. – Weak Bump

"WALK IT, TALK IT"(Migos f/ Drake),

Debuting @ #41 on Urban formats;

Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 3/28/18;

via QC/Motown/Capitol.,

[beginning w/ 867 + 183 Daily US Spins]. I expect it to be a top 10 radio hit just because it’s Migos and Drake, but I don’t really like it. It’s boring, predictable, and expected. It offers the same thing every Migos track offers, low-level lyricism, simple beats, a bunch of adlibs, repetitive hooks and a high profile feature. The one trick pony gig got old for me long ago, Id like to see what else they can do as an artist. – Strong Dump

"LOVE 'N HENNESSY"(A.Chal),

Debuting @ #48 on Urban formats;

Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 3/23/18;

via GAZI World/Epic.,

[beginning w/ 625 + 123 Daily US Spins]. – I wouldn’t be shocked to her this on the radio. Probably in the top 40 to mid 30 range. I didn’t really enjoy the song, it never captured my attention. It’s nothing I’d really want to listen to, I found myself not really paying attention and it was sort of just own in the background – Strong Dump

"ALIVE"(Lil Jon f/ Offset & 2 Chainz),

Debuting @ #50 on Rhythmic/Club formats;

Shipped to Urban formats 3/24/18;

via BME/Universal.,

[beginning w/ 316 Daily US Spins]. – This is pretty good and should get radio play. There’s a little bit of something for everyone on here. This’ll do good in the club, especially the strip club, and it may cross over. I’m not sure where it’ll be on the charts, could be a top 25. – Weak Bump

"BIGG FACTS"(MoneyBagg Yo),

Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 03/25/18;

via Bread Gang/N-Less/CMG/Interscope.,

[beginning w/ 276 Daily US Spins]. – It’s a good song for the car stereo enthusiast, it has a lot of deep bass. I can see it being played in the club, but early in the night. On a radio level, it could go either way; it could get take off and be a nationwide sensation like Black youngsta’s song “Booty”, or it could not get much play at all and never crack the top 45. I don’t think it’s a radio single, it may crack the top 45 but it’ll be a short stint. – Weak Dump

"SAD!"(XXXTentacion),

Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 03/26/18;

via Bad Vibes Forever/Caroline Dist.,

[beginning w/ 226 + 127 Daily US Spins]. – It has a very big and interesting beat that catches attention right from the start. This could be a lower twenties mid-thirties record. Its kind of short and its mostly a beat and a hook, not a lot of content or substance. I'm interested to see how this performs. – Weak Dump

"WANT IT"(Next),

Currently @ #28 on Adult Contemp/R&B formats;

+ Shipped to Urban formats 3/10/18;

via Oxford Park Comm.,

[beginning w/ 189 Daily US Spins]. – For nostalgia purposes, this will perform pretty well on adult contemporary and R&B formats, Next fans will be happy to hear new material from them. It has the right subject matter but it’s not something I’d even expect to hear on late night love segment. But I’m not sure its a hit on urban formats. I'd be shocked to hear it cross over honestly. It doesn’t quite seem true to the Next style of music. – Weak Dump

"DOPE BOY MAGIC"(Shy Glizzy f/ Trey Songz & A

Boogie Wit Da Hoodie),

Shipped to Rhythmic/Club + Urban formats 03/06/18;

via Glizzy Gang Label/300 Ent.,

[beginning w/ 98 Daily US Spins]. – It doesn’t do it for me. It sounds like its out of key and the collaboration doesn’t seem to work. I’m not sure if this gets enough radio play to crack the top 45. I think it’s a miss. – Strong Dump

It‘s a disappointing week for new singles. I’m interested in a few and I have mixed views about others, of them.
