'EASY' DOES IT 

A big round of applause for PETER GRAY and his industrious COLUMBIA RECORDS team, BRADY BEDARD, JIM BURRUSS, MATT STEVENS, SAMANTHA BRENNER, who delivered the entire Top 40 panel in the first week on "Easy On Me", the new single from ADELE (get the blast here). The song broke SPOTIFY's record for the most streams in a single day, debuting with 24 million streams in 24 hours. If you were wondering who held the previous record ... it was one of the label's many other global stars, BTS, for their hit single "Butter". 

DAVID DYER, JOSH REICH and the WARNER RECORDS take second place with "Faking Love," the latest single by BRAZILIAN sensation ANITTA - a bouncy, breakup track and collaboration with label-mate SAWEETIE. Get the blast here and check out the new clip below.

IMAGINE DRAGONS' "Follow You" (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope) reached #1 at Alternative, went Top 15 at Hot AC and just missed charting at Pop earlier this year. Now, thanks to being featured in a TV spot for SAMSUNG MOBILE, the track is making a comeback at Top 40, where it is third most added this week. Congratulations to BRENDA ROMANO, CHRIS LOPES, CHRIS MORADI, DON CODDINGTON and their whole team on the win. Below, you can check out the MATT EASTIN-directed clip, which boasts 46 million views.
