Soul Sweep: August 18, 2012...
Hey folks, time now for the third part of today's "chart sweeps" of the new music making their debut on Billboard magazine's weekly charts. This time out we'll sample the songs coming on to the R&B//HipHop and Adult R&B radio lists.
On the main R&B/HipHop chart, rappers 2 Chainz and Drake take over the top spot with "No Lie", which makes it two #1 singles in a row the former appears on (after Kanye's "Mercy")..
The highest debut this week is the return of quiet storm goddess Anita Baker, with her first single in seven years (her last was 2005's "Serious"). Previewing her Only Forever album at #61 is a cover of a 1998 single by actor/singer Tyrese, "Lately"...
