Soul Sweep: March 5, 2016...





We're at the "hump" of this week's "music sweeps", sampling the songs making their way on to the singles charts in Billboard magazine, and this time I'm serving up the latest hits on R&B radio...

On the main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, Bryson Tiller scores his first #1 hit with "Don't"...

Sean Combs takes back his moniker Puff Daddy this week on two songs that enter the R&B Airplay chart. First up at #44 is "You Could Be My Lover" featuring rapper Ty Dolla $ign and Gizzle.
