Forecast: Chris Brown, Usher, T.I. and More Headed For Hot 50 Debuts


New Entries & High Climbers
Following his performance of "Loyal (feat. Lil Wayne & Tyga)" at the 2014 BET Awards, Chris Brown dropped his latest single "New Flame (feat. Usher & Rick Ross)" on iTunes right afterwards. The track is actually pretty hot, delivering much more than expected. "New Flame" is expected to debut within the top 40, but just barely. Still, that would automatically place "New Flame" above "Loyal" (which spent just two weeks on the chart at lower positions). I'm expecting a #41 debut for the track.

Route 94's "My Love (feat. Jess Glynne)" (which ranked at #51 last week) should debut between positions 41 through 50. If it does debut at the end of this week, it'll mark Jess Glynne's second top 50 appearance, as well as Route 94's first week of charting (his first appearance).

Thanks to the recent release of a highly successful and accessible remix courtesy of Disclosure, Usher's "Good Kisser" should become the veteran singer's 3rd single to reach the chart. 2012's "Scream" previously reached as high as #3 and remained on the list for 15 weeks (back when the chart was only 40 positions long) and Looking 4 Myself album track "Euphoria" reached the edge of the chart (when it was only 40 positions long) near the end of 2012. The track should reach just right into the top 40. A #37 debut is a good estimate.

T.I.'s "No Mediocre (feat. Iggy Azalea)" should barely crack the list, with a #50 start possible. Disclosure's "F For You (feat. Mary J Blige)" is in a similar predicament this week with a start between 45 and 50 highly likely.

Finally, Tinashe's debut single "2 On (feat. SchoolBoy Q)" should arrive as the highest debut of the week. A start north of 40 is extremely likely. Usher's "Good Kisser" should be the next highest debut.

Tracks Likely To Exit
- "Team" by Lorde
- "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic
- "XO" by Beyoncé
- "Not A Bad Thing" by Justin Timberlake
- "The Man" by Ed Sheeran
- "Midnight" by Coldplay

Top 5 Happenings
Maroon 5's "Maps" should take either second or third place this week, with Kiesza's "Hideaway" should land in 1st place for a total of 7 non consecutive weeks at #1. Sanna Nielsen's "Undo" should wind up in second or third place, ending its 3 week run at #1. Kiesza's "Giant In My Heart" and Clean Bandit's "Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne)" should fight for the final top 5 positions (4 and 5).
