We all know music is slow on the weekends so it’s the perfect recipe for me to sit back and write a new Play It On The Radio in peace. Kendrick Lamar had the most added song on Urban radio this week which was definitely a pleasant surprise. But here are the other highlights from the FM dial.
Previously: #35
RHYTHMIC:
- We finally have a new number one! Kirko Bangz moves up the charts to the top position with his banger ‘Drank In My Cup’.
- Drake still holds strong at #2 and #3 with ‘Take Care’ and ‘The Motto’, respectively.
- Young Jeezy continues his strong move as he enters the top 10 at #7 with ‘Leave You Alone’ feat. Ne-Yo. Warren G gets a big credit for producing this certified hit.
Kendrick Lamar has created a huge buzz around himself with his two outstanding mixtapes O(verly) D(edicated) and Section 80 along with multiple co-signs from Top Dawgs. Now signed with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath imprint through Interscope/TDE, Kendrick is currently readying his first official debut album, due later this Summer.
The first single ‘The Recipe‘ featuring his new boss Dr. Dre is the surprise leader in number of adds on the Urban Radio this week with 27 adds, beating out Bei Maejor’s ‘Lights Down Low’ (23), B.o.B’s ‘Ray Bands’ (9) and G.O.O.D Music’s ‘Mercy’ (9). We hope it continues to do well.
Stay tuned for the full edition of Play It On The Radio.
Drake released the video for one of the most popular tracks from Take Care last week. The ‘HYFR (Hell Ya F***in Right)’ visual which is based on a scene of bar mitzvah received rave reviews from fans.
The news now comes in that the song will serve as the next official single from his platinum album, going for adds on April 24th. Do you think Drizzy will conquer the radio once more?
After the jump, a fun GIF of a Young Drake dancing in the video that you don’t want to miss.
