Beyonce told us that she wanted to go Pop
& Country and has she ever. Her new “Texas
Hold ‘Em” (Parkwood/Columbia) has turned out
to be the treat of the year so far. Not only is it a breakout at pop radio, Country has also
jumped on this one with open arms. We will see how it all plays out for so far this has
become a real winner for her. Recording artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor is taking the Top40
format by storm. The single “Murder On The Dancefloor” (Casablanca/Republic) has
turned out to be a solid winner “out of the box”. Radio programmers are all over this
one big time and it’s actually a very solid track.
Jung Kook has teamed up with Usher just in time for the big Super Bowl
appearance and great things are happening all over the place. “Standing Next To
You” (Bighit Entertainment/Republic) is the jam that I’m talking about and what a
solid single this has turned out to be. It’s a solid pairing and a big-time winner for the
both of them. Fletcher also has a good thing going and make no mistake about that.
“Lead Me On” (Capitol) is the song that is taking the new red-hot single to the top of
the charts and in record time.
Renee Rapp has really been taking things to a whole new level. Not only
did she get a shot at performing on Saturday Night Live, her new “Not My Fault”
(Interscope) is the strongest mover of the year so far. If you add the fact that she’s
making the award show rounds and embarking on many radio visits, this single is set
for #1 and in record time. One of her best pals in Victoria Monet also has a solid plan
in place. “On My Mama” (Lovett Music/RCA) is fast becoming a smash hit at radio
and this one has Top5 potential.
Newcomer Atarashii Gakkoo has a story that’s building and try to say that
name five times fast. “Hello” (88rising) is the single has come out of the box with
some real fire power, our music and programmers are all over this one big time. The
act known to the world as Boys Like Girls is also getting a real push out there at the
format. “Miracle” (Fearless/Concord) is the single that has really proven itself in a
rather short time. Make sure to spend a little time with this one and see what all the
fuss is about. Knox has got a solid hit in the making. From the first week of release
the single “Not The 1975” (Atlantic) has pulled in some rather impressive numbers.
It’s been on a slow build, but things are really starting to happen for this one to be
sure. Lany also has a real winner on the move. “XXL” (Sunset Garden/UMG) is the
jam that appears to be well on its way to becoming a massive single. Only time will
tell but so far so very good.
When Justin Timberlake decided to get things moving again in his career he
was not kidding. His new “Selfish” (RCA) has turned out to be the biggest prime
mover so far in 2024. It’s actually JT at his very best. If you add to that all the personal
appearances including his stint recently via Saturday Night Live, the world has opened
up at full throttle for him all over again. Let’s hold a #1 slot for Justin Timberlake &
this monster hit. Teddy Swims is having quite the run and make no mistake about that.
“Lose Control” (Warner) is just a small sample of what this artist is all about. Radio
has really taken to Teddy who really knows how to sell a song. There is a very bright
future breaking for this multi-talented artist and Teddy Swims is well on the way to
a massive career. 21 Savage has got a good thing going as well. Many of our music
and program directors are singing the praises of the single “redrum” (Epic) and for
good reason. It’s just that good.
Dua Lipa just keeps rolling out hit after hit. Her latest in the single “Training
Season” (Warner) really puts her a step ahead of the pack. This new track is actually
one of her best to date and it’s only a matter of a week or two before it breaks wide
open. Kenya Grace continues to build her fortunes at the Top40 format. “Strangers”
(Major/Warner) got it all started and the best is yet to come. Speaking of the very best,
this is our major NMA Nominations issue. Please take the time to visit us on-line and let
your voice be heard. Once again music fans and subscribers have a big hand in making
it all happen. This is the time to make your move and contribute to the process.
