Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, Avery Sunshine scores her first #1 hit with "Call My Name"...

The sole entry at #30 is Beyonce with "Ring Off"...

Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, whose stations add more dance/pop music to their playlists,  ILOVEMAKONNEN and Drake just to #1 with "Tuesday"...

Pitbull and Ne-Yo team up at #34 for the "Time Of Our Lives"...

Bronx-born bachata singer/songwriter Prince Royce arrives at #39 with "Stuck On A Feeling" featuring Snoop Dogg. It's my "Soul Pick of the Week"...
