Rihanna’s “Sledgehammer” Rises To #2 On Bubbling Under Hot 100

As Rihanna’s “Sledgehammer” takes flight at the adult contemporary and hot adult contemporary formats, it moves closer to debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song improves to #2 on this week’s edition of the Bubbling Under Hot 100, which ranks the top songs that have yet to appear on the actual Hot 100.

“Sledgehammer” debuted at #19 on last week’s edition of the Bubbling Under chart.

“Sledgehammer,” which appears on the “Star Trek: Beyond” soundtrack, is being promoted at the aforementioned adult radio formats. It was also serviced to pop, but Rihanna’s “ANTI” single “Needed Me” is receiving the promotional focus at that format.
