I thought y'all said Big Sean's "Beware" single was going to flop.

What stations? Reference them and I'll pull their playlist for the past 7 days if you'd like. :stylin:

It may be [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/URL] or #2 on some pseudo countdown shows, but in terms of spins, it's not in the top 40 in either the Urban or Rhythmic format yet.

The #1 Song today in my Hot 3@3 is @BigSean @LilTunechi Beware! @hot937 @HotAfternoon937

Seen it posted on twitter the other day. Where you find the Urban or Rhythmic at? Song will slowly climb back up the Urban/Rhythmic charts. Def Jam just sent it to radio this past Tuesday. Give the song a week or 2 before it gets back on Billboard.

I have access to radio charts breh. I just looked up the station you mentioned, WZMX in Hartford. From July 6th to July 12th, it got 23 spins at [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2]#2 3[/URL] , up from 18 spins and [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2]#2 7[/URL] the week before (June 29th to July 5th). For perspective, for the last 7 days, that station's top 10

#1 Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines" 75 spins
#2 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis "Same Love" 70 spins
#3 Justin Timberlake "Mirrors" 67 spins
#4 Daft Punk "Get Lucky" 59 spins
#5 Arianna Grande "The Way" 58 spins
#6 Ciara "Body Party" 50 spins
#7 Jay-Z "Holy Grail" 47 spins
#8 Miguel "How Many Drinks" 45 spins
#9 A$AP Rocky "Wild For The Night" 43 spins
#1 0 Bruno Mars "Treasure" 43 spins

As for Def Jam just "sending" it to radio, as referenced above, it was on radio before the 9th. In 2013, though a label may official "send" a song at a certain time, once a CDQ leaks onto the Internet, most PDs start playing it unless they're told otherwise.

None of this is to say that the song won't be a hit, just that there is no evidence to say, from a radio perspective, that it is one yet. I have no dog in this "fight", just wanted to present some facts, because often on The-Coli I see folks talk about what's hot on radio without having a single clue.

Good looking out on the info. The single is still relatively new. It's usually takes time for songs to catch on to radio. Most of all of Sean's singles take about a good month before it becomes a regular on radio playlists. Not really worried at this point. Song has been receiving love on Twitter and other blog sites.
