Soul Sweep: January 31, 2015...

We're at the "hump" of today's "chart sweeps", sampling the songs making their debut on the 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, Big Sean spends a third non-consecutive week at #1 with "I Don't Fuck With You"...

Sevyn Streeter is back at #40 with "Don't Kill The Fun" featuring Chris Brown. In 2013 she climbed to #2 with "It Won't Stop" (also with Brown)...
