G Herbo is attracting the attention of U.S.
Shazammers thanks to a pair of syncs on two TV series.
Herbo's “Cold World” (
Republic) leads the week’s Biggest Movers after its use on
Starz/
Hulu’s
Power Book IV: Force. He's also the featured artist on
Nardo Wick’s “Who Want Smoke???” (
Flawless/
RCA), which got thumbs a-waggin’ after a placement on the new season of
Showtime’s
The Chi.
Jacob Banks’ 2015 track “Monster” also benefited from a sync, in
The Equalizer 3.
Kenya Grace’s viral sensation, “Strangers” (
Major/
Warner), released 9/1, is causing a stir on both sides of the Atlantic; it’s just behind the
Biggest Gainer in the U.K.,
Sonny Fodera,
MK &
Clementine Douglas’ banger from the summer, “Asking.”
Another new track riding a wave of Shazams is
Calle 24, Chin Pacas &
Fuerza Regida’s “Que Onda” (
Street Mob).
