Don't forget guys EOY Top 100 on Buzzjack from 2PM on Sunday! We'll still run it if it turns out they're doing half EOY/half regular chart tonight too, can't be letting all Joseph's hard work go to waste. :P

Let’s go!!! Ellie for #1!!!

Last year I found out early in the afternoon because one of my friends got the info early. Thankfully not this year!

 

Very interested to see what happens here!

I hope that Mariah gif is ready, in case Mariah does it tonight :D

Afternoon guys.

Ugh I think the guy on Radio 1 has just ruled out one of the contenders, won't say who though for those who missed it.

I hope these 2 students are decent and dont mess up the presenting

Ive only got a little bit of tippex left.

AIWFCIY has made it to #1 in Germany for the first time - UK next please :cheer:

When was the last time Radio 1 had a proper top 40 show for the chart published just after Christmas? Has it ever happened since streaming data was included in the chart?

well I'm still not sure if it's a proper top 40 chart, I'm sure I just heard him say Chart of the Year but then also gave 2 contenders for this week's chart, so it might be both?

The host on now said "at 4 the last official chart of the year"

Biography

 

A London-based grime MC of Ghanaian heritage, Stormzy made a swift rise in the early 2010s to become one of the U.K.'s most critically-acclaimed artists. 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

“Ellie WAS doing so well in the mids”

 

Ok it’s over

They sound fine don't they.

Only 3 contenders mentioned for #1 and of them being Ladbaby?

So jealous of these two student radio presenters! Good luck to them both.

 

'Vossi Bop' a strong start to the chart - definitely one of the better #1 singles of the year.

I'm assuming they'll have to play a lot of Xmas songs today then

Stormzy to begin and end the show please

Only 3 contenders mentioned for #1 and of them being Ladbaby?

well he was number1 last week so I guess they had to mention him?

 

Haven't heard this in a while, it's sounding remarkably fresh!
