We're at the "hump" of today's "chart sweeps" checking out the songs reaching the radio charts in Billboard magazine, and this time out I'm serving the latest R&B jams on the radio...

On the main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" holds steady for a sixth week at #1....

The top entry on the list at #34 is the soul "super-group" of Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank for "I Need"....
