Republic Corps’ Team Davey Dee pull off the “switch” to perfection this week as they manage to take Nicki Minaj’s “FTCU” to #1 over Muni Long’s “Made for Me” (Def Jam). Minaj gained more than 500 spins, earning her second #1 this year. There is still life in Long’s track, and it will fight to get back to #1 this week, but it will be a tall task as Sackheim and Dontay over at Epic are full steam ahead with 21 Savage’s “redrum.”

The single ended the week at #4, gaining 430 spins along the way; it’s at #3 on the building chart and has a lot of momentum. Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That” w/Kendrick Lamar (Wilbrn/Boominati/Freebandz/Republic) adds an impressive 900 spins to their total this week, which rockets them inside the Top 15. They also dropped another album, WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, which could be their second #1 album in a month! Meanwhile, Tyla’s “Truth or Dare” (FAX) ends the week at #18 as it continues to develop. Travis Scott’s “FE!N” f/Playboi Carti enters the Top 20 thanks to an increase of 190 spins.

RCA and Lori G also have a record that is poised to try and make a run at #1 with Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me.” The track ends the week at #6, but Lori has fired up the engines for a push in the next two weeks; was up more than 300 spins this week. Meanwhile, SZA’s “Saturn” (TDE) looks to be another bonified hit. This one is up a whopping 400 spins, and the power rotations are starting to come in. Although the track is currently sitting at #9, it will be inside the Top 5 in two weeks or less. Bryson Tiller’s “Whatever She Wants” (TrapSoul) climbs two spots to #22 after picking up an increase of 190 spins and has a solid buzz attached to it.

Over at Columbia, James White has Beyoncé’s “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” (Parkwood) at #8 and still moving, and they’re impacting her track “II MOST WANTED” f/Miley Cyrus this week. James and the team are also still active in continuing to grow Jessie Murph & Jelly Roll’s “Wild Ones.”

Over at ICLG, Dixie Tipton moves GloRilla’s “Yeah Glo!” (CMG/Interscope) inside the Top 25. She picks up 180 spins as the new goal is to reach the Top 20.

Michael Williams and the mega/gamma. team have USHER’s “Ruin” perched at #21. He’s also got Sexyy Red’s “Get It Sexyy” (Open Shift) climbing five spots to #26 after landing a 230-rotation increase.

And at Warner, B Dot Scales is still driving Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which gains 110 spins and is good enough for #19 as it approaches #1 at Top 40.
