New Music Weeky’s Inside Top40 Radio focuses weekly on the hottest artist at Top40 radio. Chart activity, new releases and where to find them at U.S. radio.
The Chainsmokers are back at Top40 after a little break and are starting right where they left us and that’s with another big radio hit. “High” (Disruptor/Columbia) is the single that is setting the format on fire and it’s one of their best to date. Radio is lucky to have them back where they belong. […]
Adele is back and in a very big way. Not only did she take her single “Easy On Me” (Columbia) to #1 in record time, she also is taking her follow-up in “Oh My God” (Columbia) along the same path. It’s great to have her back and she is taking full advantage of this huge […]
Justin Bieber keeps breaking hit after hit at the Top40 format. His new offering in “Ghost” (Def Jam) keeps his list of monster hits growing by leaps and bounds and this one is no exception. The pairing of Drake with Future and Young Thug has turned out to be quite the winner. “Way 2 Sexy” […]
Our team is also following the breakout of Coldplay & their new “Higher Power” (Parlophone/Atlantic) single. With the premiere of the song on American Idol most recently, you could not ask for a better opening. The Nathan Carruth Band are taking it all the way home with “Raindrops Of Grace” (Groove House Music Group). Linards […]
Ava Max has made quite the name for herself over the past year. She seems to have found her groove and shows it very well indeed with a song called “My Head & My Heart” (Atlantic). Big numbers for this one out of the box which tells us that a hit is in the making. […]
Shawn Mendes & Justin Bieber have teamed up together for a real strong entry to close out 2020. They both saved their very best for last as the new “Monster” (Island/Def Jam-Republic) takes flight. Radio is all over this one big time & we hope they stay with it for a spell. What is better […]

The pairing of Kelsea Ballerini & Halsey has turned out to be pure magic. Everybody is all over “The Other […]
Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day fame is back at radio with strong single. In an attempt to keep things a bit bright and optimistic he’s out with a remake of “I Think We’re Alone Now” (Reprise/WEA) which is actually pretty tight. He may be on to something new re-packaging older classic songs. Do we […]
The Jonas Brothers could not be any hotter. Just coming off a very high-profile Grammy appearance, they were able to put the spotlight on their new single “What A Man Gotta Do” (Republic) and you could not ask for a better way to get this excellent single started. Halsey continues her winning ways and she is […]
Blackbear has got it all moving in the right direction at Top40 and many out there in the programming world are singing the praises of the red-hot “Hot Girl Bummer” (Beartrap/Alamo/Interscope). We’ll see how this plays out getting through the holiday season. Was the timing right here? The Weeknd thinks his timing is spot on […]
