Stormzy has blazed his way to the top of the UK’s Official Singles Chart with comeback jam ‘Vossi Bop.’
And he’s made history in the process.
Full story below…
Released as the first taste of his much anticipated sophomore album, the track has stormed in at #1 on the coveted tally – with colossal streaming figures.
The viral cut wracked up 12.7 million plays; a feat which sees the Londonder accrue the largest streams ever for a rapper. In doing so, he bested the previous record set by Drake’s ‘In My Feelings.’
Beyond streams, ‘Vossi’ earns the honour of scoring the second biggest first-week combined sales of the year (94,500), topped only by Ariana Grande’s ‘7 Rings’ (126,000).
Stormzy’s chart touch-down comes after a three way battle with Lil Nas’ ‘Old Town Road’ (which dropped to #2) and Taylor Swift‘s ‘ME!’ (which had to settle for a #3 opening).
Speaking to Official Charts, the 25-year-old said:
“Words don’t really do it justice. I’m genuinely, for once in my life, speechless! My supporters have had my back like crazy – this is all you guys, thank you so much”
Congrats!
The success bodes well for Stormzy, who’s headlining Glastonbury next month.
