Two momentum-rich singles reach the Top 40 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.
Up sixteen places, Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain” takes #34 on this week’s all-encompassing chart.
Shawn Mendes’ “Mercy” follows at #35; it was #47 last week.
Both songs have been making big gains at mainstream radio. “Mercy” also benefited from a performance during last Sunday’s American Music Awards.
