RO James moves in at #46 with his "Permission", my "Soul Pick of the Week". The track is already up at #21 on the Adult R&B list...

The third single from R. Kelly's The Buffet album, "Wake Up Everybody", comes in at #50. It also drops a notch to #16 on the Adult R&B chart...

Meanwhile, on the older-skewing Adult R&B radio panel, British songstress Adele conquers yet another chart as "Hello" moves a spot to #1, while there are no songs making their debut...

Lastly, on the Rhythmic format, whose stations include more dance/pop music in their playlists, "Say It" takes over at the top...

Rapper Kevin Gates rings in at #38 with his "2 Phones"...

Hip-hop DJ and producer DJ Mustard enters at #40 with "Whole Lotta Lovin'" featuring Travi$ Scott...
