Soul Sweep: May 31, 2014...






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

On the main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, Jhene Aiko holds tight at #1 for a third week with "The Worst"...

The top debut of the week belongs to singer/songwriter Trey Songz, whose second single from his upcoming sixth album, "SmartPhones", comes in at #46. The first, "Na Na", peaked at #9 a few weeks back and now is at #13 for the third straight week...

Atlanta-based rap trio Migos drops in at #47 with "Fight Night". Last year they went to #15 with "Versace"...


 The final debut of the week s from singer Jazmine Sullivan with "Dumb" featuring rapper Meek Mill at #50. She went all the way to #1 in 2008 with "Need U Bad". This new one is my "Soul Pick of the Week"...


Meanwhile on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, Pharrell's "Happy" reigns for a ninth week, while there are no new entries...

Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, which includes some dance music into the radio mix, DJ Snake and Lil' Jon climb to #1 with "Turn Down For What"...

Moving in at #29 is rapper Lil' Wayne with Drake on "Believe Me"...


The other debut at #35 is rapper Sage the Gemini with Kool John on "College Drop"..


That's it for this soul trip...I'll be back in 90 minutes with the newest on country radio....groove on!
