Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, Sam Smith remains on top for an eighth week with "Stay With Me".

Elle Varner comes in at #30 with "Don't Wanna Dance" featuring rapper A$AP Ferg. It's my "Soul Pick of the Week"...

Nicki Minaj, who appears on the Trey Songz track, lands at #38 with her own "Only" featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown...
