Soul Sweep: January 17, 2015...

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

On the main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, Chris Brown returns to the #1 spot for a fourth non-consecutive week with "New Flame"...

While rap duo Rae Sremmurd's "No Type" holds at #6 (it peaked at #3), their next single "Throw Sum Mo" with Nicki Minaj and Young Thug is the top new entry at #45...

Another hip-hop duo, TK-N-Cash, land at #50 with "Mind Right"...

Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, Avery Sunshine climbs back to the top for a second non-consecutive week with "Call My Name"...

Trey Songz lands at #27 with "Touchin' Lovin'", the former #1 hit on the Rhythmic Songs chart...

Alt-soul singer Goapele claims my "Soul Pick of the Week" at #30 with "Strong As Glass". She previously went to #18 with "Change It All"...

Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, whose stations include more dance/pop music in their playlists,  Ariana Grande remains on top for a third week with "Love Me Harder"...

The solitary newbie at #39 is Wash with "Can't Trust Thots" featuring French Montana....

I'll be back in 90 minutes with the latest on country radio...
