Climbing out of the underground grime scene, he made his breakthrough in 2017 with his platinum-certified, chart-topping debut, Gang Signs & Prayer. Within half a decade of the release of his debut EP, he was a Glastonbury festival headliner. Born Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr. in the south London town of Croyden, he launched his career clashing at youth clubs around his hometown. His performances evolved from grime-only music that showed a love of artists like Skepta to more rap-oriented material that reflected Stormzy's growing appreciation for artists like Drake. Late in 2013 he began uploading his "Wicked Skengman" series of freestyles over classic grime beats; in 2014, he made his official debut with the EP Dreamers Disease. A year later he released the single "Know Me From" along with "WickedSkengMan 4," the first track in his "WickedSkengMan" freestyle series and a Top 20 hit in the U.K. That December, Stormzy performed the single's B-side, "Shut Up," at a match between heavyweight boxers Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte. The song jumped into the Top 40 following the broadcast, and the rapper launched a campaign to have the song top the charts during Christmas. This boosted the track to the number eight position, and the number one position on the R&B singles chart. Before returning to the studio to record his first LP, he released non-album single "Scary" in the spring of 2016. Stormzy returned in 2017 with his official full-length debut Gang Signs & Prayer (#Merky Records), which featured the platinum single "Big for Your Boots," "Cigarettes & Cush" with Kehlani, and "Blinded by Your Grace, Pt. 2" with MNEK. The critically-lauded set debuted atop the U.K. albums chart and was soon certified platinum. In 2018, the album took home the prize for British Album of the Year and Stormzy was crowned British Male Solo Artist of the Year at the annual Brit Awards. Riding the wave of acclaim, he was announced as one of the headliners at 2019's Glastonbury Festival. That year, he also scored his first number one single in the U.K. with "Vossi Bop." - iTunes Top 100 Chart History Stormzy 2015 49 Know Me From -NAS- 2015 18 WickedSkengMan 4 -NAS- 2015 08 Shut Up -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 49 Dude (Lethal Bizzle & Stormzy) 2017 06 Big For Your Boots -2- 2017 21 Cold -3- 2017 22 Bad Boys (feat.

December 27, 20196 yr Probably helps that Elton has a video for his whereas Queen don't. Queen is one of my favourites ever, it was on the first Now Christmas cassette and charted top 30 only because 1984 was a HUGE year for xmas songs, so may have got lost in the stampede. Yes but strangely doesn't make Now compilations these days.
December 27, 20196 yr I can’t believe we’ve been saying that THIS VERY WEEK would be Mariahs week like for years and years And now it’s here and she’s gonnabe cheated out of a number one by a desperate FLOP 💀
December 27, 20196 yr How on Earth has it dropped despite having big streams and being on SCR? I hope it becomes the first #1 of the new decade
December 27, 20196 yr OMFG YES!!! YES!!!!! YEEEESSSS!!!! COME BACK NEXT WEEK STORMZY YOU TART. THIS WEEK IS MARIAH'S!!! OMFG MARIAH'S BEST CHANCE IN YEARS!!!! SO GLAD I SKIPPED ELLIE EVERY TIME I HEARD HER!!!!
December 27, 20196 yr Stormzy and Ellie must be the two non-Christmas song still to be played. River is a Christmas song but the non-Christmassy title must be putting them off a bit.
December 27, 20196 yr 'Merry Christmas Everyone' up there with Wizzard in the euphoric stakes for me! Its the bells that start the song immediately remind you of Christmas :wub:
December 27, 20196 yr This is a complete surprise. Stormzy down to number 5 though probably number 1 next week. Sales between the top 5 MUST be very close.
December 27, 20196 yr Thought this would be top 3! Will get there next week at least. Come on Mariah!
December 27, 20196 yr I imagine that a third no.1 for Ellie Goulding denying Mariah Carey a third no.1 would be the most accurate representation of music dying in existence.
