On this week’s episode, the guys welcome Billboard.com features editor Brad Wete to discuss the impressive hot streak of Pharrell Williams, and what to expect from his just-announced new album “G I R L”; Eric Church’s “The Outsiders” debut, and how a country artist without any smash singles just notched the biggest album debut of 2014; Mariah Carey’s return to the Hot 100 as a solo artist, and whether or not her next album still has some “buzz” behind it; and the record-setting Hot 100 run of Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive.” There’s also a new segment called “Wacky Chart Stat of the Day”; NBA All-Star Weekend; the “happy bummer” of AWOLNATION; Exposé; and much more.
