Soul Sweep: December 13, 2014...

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

On their main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, I LOVE MAKONNEN scores his first #1 hit with "Tuesday" featuring Drake...

Philly-based DJ Drama drives in at #48 with "Right Back" featuring rappers Jeezy, Rich Homie Quan, and Young Thug...

Charlie Wilson grooves in at #49 with "Goodnight Kisses". The song also moves up to #18 on the Adult R&B list...

Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, Sam Smith stays at #1 for a tenth week with "Stay With Me"...

British soul songstress Estelle returns at #28 with "Conqueror", my "Soul Pick of the Week". She went to #1 on this format with "Thank You" in 2011...

and Sam Smith nearly bookends himself as his top-10 pop hit "I'm Not The Only One" drops in at #29...

Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, whose stations add more dance/pop music to their playlists, Trey Songz is at #1 for a fourth week with "Touchin, Lovin"...

Rap duo Rae Sremmurd went to #35 with their first single "No Flex Zone". They equal that with their new one "No Type"...

British DJ/producer Mark Ronson arrives at #40 with "Uptown Funk" featuring vocals from Bruno Mars...

I'll return in 90 with the latest on country radio...
