Yay!

 

Now that Wham! have that record they can hurry up and overtake Mariah :kink:

 

Yes can they please overtake her so I can get my 50-1 winnings.

 

(I actually stuck a fiver on both of them but the odds were better on Wham)

Hope Raye continues to be ahead of both Wham/Mariah next week!!

Why would it be in the chart outside Christmas?

I remember when DTKIC was still in the chart in January 1985 and I meant if it managed to hang on on 6th January chart

I remember when DTKIC was still in the chart in January 1985 and I meant if it managed to hang on on 6th January chart

Those were the days of physicals still being in stores though, I think it's very clear the charts are not the same as they were 40 years ago. It won't be around in the 6th Jan chart.

AIWFCIY is now tied with "I Believe" for Frankie Laine for the most weeks in the top 10 ever!

Oh Raye!

Biography

 

Grime attracts big personalities, but even by the genre’s imposing standards, Stormzy isn’t so much a rapper as a force of nature: a 6’5” lyrical whirlwind boasting a powerhouse voice and one of the most impressive ascents in pop music, stepping up to headline Glastonbury within five years of his debut EP. Born Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr. in 1993, Stormzy was still a boy when grime was in its infancy, and he came up battling fellow teens at youth centers in his native Croydon, London. By the time he was 20, he had launched his “WickedSkengMan” series, uploading freestyles over classic grime beats, and he swiftly developed a rep for his tough staccato flow and pugnacious attitude. Fittingly, Stormzy performed his 2015 single “Shut Up,” one of his earliest hits, at a heavyweight boxing match. “I set trends, dem man copy/They catch feelings, I catch bodies,” he raps on the song, and it’s true that when he throws down the gauntlet, he tends to make history: 2015’s “WickedSkengMan 4” was the first freestyle ever to break into the UK Top 40, and in 2017, his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, was the first grime album to go to No. 1 in the UK charts, 14 years after Dizzee Rascal’s Mercury Prize-winning Boy in da Corner first carved out a space in UK pop for the upstart underground genre. But Stormzy quicky proved himself interested in more than just besting his rivals, instead using his platform to become the voice of conscience for young and marginalized people across the UK. At Glastonbury 2017, he delivered a moving tribute to the victims of that summer’s Grenfell Tower fire; at the 2018 BRIT Awards, he aimed a scathing freestyle at Prime Minister Theresa May, whose government he accused of negligence after the fire. Musically, too, Stormzy has shown a willingness to push beyond grime’s traditional limits, dipping into R&B and gospel as he vacillates between taunts and introspection. “I would be a bit fake if I just gave you pure grime albums,” Stormzy told Apple Music. “I’m going to embrace my musicality because that is true to me as well. I love melody and I love R&B and I love pop music. Bruv, I’m going to do whatever I like.” - Apple Music

Why has Jack just played a trailer for the show we are currently listening to ??!!

I’d prefer if this and Firebabe switched places and I hope RAYE has stopped Anne-Marie from going top 5

Loves the #7 position!

raye top 5 pleaseeeeee

Why has Jack just played a trailer for the show we are currently listening to ??!!

He’s having a very off day lol!

YES RAYE & 070 SHAKE!!!!. Wow at 070 shake getting a top 10

Also good for her that she no longer has the accolade of her biggest hit technically being an uncredited feature on a Kanye album track.

knew Raye would be 5-6, hope 5 so can stop the worst song of the year from getting top 5

Not surprised Raye is so high given its been increasing on streaming all week.

 

If possible a week at the top before the old Christmas stuff reaches ridiculous levels would be fantastic.

Also good for her that she no longer has the accolade of her biggest hit technically being an uncredited feature on a Kanye album track.

wait which one is that?

It would be nice for a year to not have Wham and Mariah as the top 2 Christmas tracks but you can't do much when they are most streamed all the time. I like Mariah still though.

 

The Stormzy song isn't too bad but not one I care for either.

Boo at RAYE missing the top 5
