How is this not chart hyping?

 

I doubt Stormzy was even expecting to chart with this. However when it shot up iTunes, I expect he wants to capitalise on that!

 

I think Lethal Bizzle and Sneakbo came across as more desperate, as they released more chart-friendly songs whereas this Stormzy track is a freestyle.

 

Without major-label backing, how else can these artists promote their songs? Surely its the same tactic used by boybands etc. but to a different audience?

 

Keep an eye on this song, could be the urban-pop crossover hit to end 2015. Currently at #10 on the UK Shazam chart with radio adds from Kiss, long standing support from 1Xtra and major label backing from Atlantic. All videos taken off YouTube so it should get a proper push and an iTunes release date soon.

 

One of my favourite songs of the year, great to see it go mainstream. Very smooth and prime example of letting a great hook take centre stage.

Plus they have epically buggered up the release of it.

 

Surely they've gone down the normal route of the song being available from when the album was released I thought?

The album isn't even out until Friday.

I forgot how many versions of songs The Vamps put on iTunes.

Oh in that case it is odd, I thought it was already out.

All three versions? :P (plus the EP)

Where's he handing them out? I actually need some new trainers. 99p sounds like a bargain :D
Why is the Extended Version of Wake Up 59p but the other is 99p? :lol:

 

Because people will buy the main version anyway as it will be on the radio. They want to persuade people to buy the extended version as well so they have put it up as a lower price.

All I know is they are Adidas creps and he's "driving around the UK" :lol:

It's just a shame that he wasn't in the iTunes top 10 on Sunday evening when the Big Top 40 show was on. It would have been awesome to hear Capital & Heart play a grime freestyle during daytime radio :lol:
