Soul Sweep: October 17, 2015..

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

On the main R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, The Weeknd holds at #1 for a third week with "The Hills"...

Tamar Braxton follows up her #19 hit "If I Don't Have You" with the song at #49, "Catfish", my "Soul Pick of the Week"...

"Jumpman", from the Drake/Future mixtape What A Time To Be Alive, pops in at #50...

Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, Janet Jackson remains on top for a seventh week with "No Sleeep"...

Prince is back at #29 with "1000 X's and O's". It's only listenable on TIDAL. So, yeah.

At #30 is neo-soul singer Kem with "Promise To Love"...

Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, whose stations include more dance/pop music in their playlists,
"The Hills" is at #1 for a fifth week...

As Chris Brown's "Liquor" climbs to #22 on this chart, his new single "Zero" leaps in at #26...

The viral dance hit "Hit The Quan" from iHeartMemphis shuffles in at #37...

The final newbie at #40 is JR Castro with "Get Home" featuring rappers Kid Ink and Migos...

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