Soul Sweep: June 20, 2015...

We're at the "hump" of my catch-up 'chart sweeps' from last weekend, sampling the songs making their debut on the charts in Billboard magazine, and this time out I'm serving up the latest hits on R&B radio...

On their main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, the Weeknd spends a ninth week at #1 with "Earned It (50 Shades Of Grey)"...

Tamar Braxton returns at #49 with the second single from her upcoming Calling All Lovers album,  "If I Don't Have You". The first, "Let Me Know", climbed to #8 back in February...

Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, "Earned It" reigns for a fourth week, while Tamar's track rockets in at #17 ("Let Me Know" peaked here at #5)...

Tamia returns at #26 with "Stuck With Me", the second single from her just-released LoveLife album, and my "Soul Pick of the Week". It follows "Sandwich and A Soda" which made it to #20 in May...

 Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, whose stations add more dance/pop music to their playlists, Wiz Khalifa's #1 pop hit "See You Again" is on top for a third week...

DJ Khaled drops in here at #37 with "How Many Times" featuring Chris Brown, Lil' Wayne, and Big Sean. The single moves up to #24 on the main R&B list in its fourth week...

Rapper T-Wayne takes his novelty pop/rap-dance hit "Nasty Freestyle" to this list at #39...
