GetAtMe

It’s the New Year and as we always say,”the truth is in the sales numbers.”  The Migos BAD & BOUGIE starts the year off at num 1 (these sales came out of nowhere, #hmmm …).  Rae Sremmurd BLACK BEATLES ( a real strong cut…) falls to num 2.  Drake FAKE LOVE is num 3 (another strong contender…) The WeekNd STARBOY is still holding strong and so is DRAM BROCCOLI.   John Legend is back on the chart with LOVE ME NOW and Rihanna LOVE ON THE BRAIN is slowly moving up the chart.  Amine CAROLINE (this cut is amazing because the sales are so strong.  This is clearly a west coast thing…) and The WeekNd 2nd cut on the chart I FEEL IT COMING is at num 9.  Big Sean BOUNCE BACK (getatme handicapped) comes in at num 10.

It’s the new year and happy New Year to all.  Remember “there’s nothing wrong with the record business that a good record can’t cure…”

Who would have though 6 months ago, D.R.A.M. (an artist who accused Drake of jacking the HOTLINE BLING beat from him), would be outselling Drake (who knew…?).  Well our num 1 this week is D.R.A.M. BROCCOLI (and sometimes the gods are fair…).  Here’s the stats:

• DRAM BROCCOLI is num 1 (I know that’s crazy right) and Drake’s TOO GOOD (who GetAtMe told yall this song was a hit months ago…) came up from num 8 to num 2…
• Drake ONE DANCE fell to num 3 from num 1 and Rihanna NEEDED ME came up from num 9 (great update of a classic blues cut…)
• Tory Lanez LUV is at num 5 and Dj Khaled FOR FREE comes in at num 6…
• Kehlani GANGSTA is num 7 (this cut sat on youtube for over a year and suddenly just started to sell…) and at num 8 is 5th Harmony ALL IN MY HEAD (The Simon Cowell star machine is at full steam…)
• Wale MY PYT is at num 9 and Drake CONTROLLA comes in at num 10…

The single sales are down almost 10,000 downloads a day currently as we go into the second month of the 3rd quarter.  Has streaming caused the drop in sales?  No because the pop number are still in the 15,000 plus area every week.  What seems to be happening is that the hip hop buyers are sometimes being distracted by gossip for click blogs and hiphop threads.  At times in hiphop we tend to worry more about the industry acceptance as opposed to gauging fans buying taste.  We need to get those number back into the 10,000 plus a day area.  Also Drake still has 3 songs in the top 10,

Remember, “There’s nothing wrong with the record business that a good record can’t cure…”
