Pop Sweep: August 1, 2015...

Hey gang, I'm back after a week break with the first of today's five "music sweeps", checking out the songs making their debut on the various charts in Billboard magazine. As usual, I'll start out on the pop side of things, then later in the day move on to the latest in rock, R&B, country, and dance music. And away we gooooo...

On the "big" chart, Billboard's Hot 100, which combines tallies of radio airplay from all formats, sales (like iTunes and AmazonMp3 and the like), and internet streaming (from subscription services like Spotify and on-demand like YouTube), last week Jamaican pop-reggae artist OMI took over at #1 for the first time with "Cheerleader", and holds again this week...

Last week Meghan Trainor entered the chart at #95 with the fourth single from her debut album Title, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" featuring John Legend. This week she leaps up to #71. Her last single, "Dear Future Husband", topped off at #14...

Last week country-rock newcomers Old Dominion rode in at #99 with "Break Up With Him", and jumps 10 notches this week...

The other one, "Jump Out The Face" featuring Future, goes from #91 to #98. Also, his current radio single "All Eyes On You" climbs to #28 this week, while the now-infamous beef-inducing track featuring Drake, "R.I.C.O.", falls from #43 to #45...

On the Mainstream Top-40 radio panel, Taylor Swift still reigns for a fifth week with "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar...

Last week the sole debut was Jason Derulo's "Cheyenne", which now moves from #36 to #32, while his former #1 hit "Want To Want Me" drops out of the top-10...

There's also only one newbie this week as well, as Australian "boy-band" 5 Seconds of Summer arrive at #39 with "She's Kinda Hot", the first single from their upcoming second album. Their first produced two top-20 hits on this chart with "She Looks So Perfect" and "Amnesia"...

The second single from U2's Songs Of Innocence album to make this chart, "Song For Someone", enters at #39. "Every Breaking Wave" peaked out at #34. With a powerful video featuring Woody Harrelson, this is my "Pop Pick of the Week".

Lastly, on the Adult Contemporary, or "Easy Listening" radio chart, Ed Sheeran climbed back to #1 where it stays again for an 18th week with "Thinking Out Loud"...
