December 30, 20223 yr It’s the first time since 1992 where no one has scored multiple #1 singles in the exact same year Why do you always needlessly use the word 'exact' in this post
December 30, 20223 yr Author 05 | 10 | 7th week Stormzy Firebabe 2nd single from This Is What I Mean Released: 10th November 2022 Label: 0207 Def Jam Chart Statistics NE (24/11/2022) | 26-26-11-9-8-10-5 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 54 Sales 22 Audio Streaming 47 Video Streaming Video F0CnKnCjJZ4 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 Top 100 Chart History 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- MILLIONAIRE 2017 21 Cold -3- 2017 22 Bad Boys (feat.

December 30, 20223 yr Hope firebabe drop fast on Amazon It will without the Alexa play Christmas music impact.
December 30, 20223 yr Can’t wait till this drops out of the top 40 altogether next week Such a boring song
December 30, 20223 yr Hopefully this won't be top 100 next Friday. Erm, dude... it's likely none of these will be. :lol:
December 30, 20223 yr Why do you always needlessly use the word 'exact' in this post To avoid confusion. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen something like this. Every year, we’ve had artists scoring multiple #1s in the same year
December 30, 20223 yr So many of these new hits not doing it for me. RAYE literally the only one that is lol.
December 30, 20223 yr Aww RIP Bublé's many disjoint #7 peaks. Imagine if it started stalling at #6 as of next year
December 30, 20223 yr To avoid confusion. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen something like this. Every year, we’ve had artists scoring multiple #1s in the same year What would be confusing about the phrase 'in the same year' though x
