Stormzy’s Own It scores the UK’s first Number 1 song of 2020 and the decade as it climbs to the top spot on this week’s Official Singles Chart.
Own It featuring Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy climbs from 5 to 1 to become Stormzy’s third chart-topper in the UK, following Vossi Bop and Take Me Back To London featuring Ed Sheeran in 2019.
The track scores 57,000 on the chart this week, including 6.6 million streams. This makes Stormzy the first British rapper to score three Number 1 songs in ten years.
Watch Stormzy celebrate the news below:
“When we shoot, we score!” Stormzy told OfficialCharts.com. “Big up Ed and Burna Boy. Honestly, I’m so grateful. Anyone who listens to me, supports me, buys my music, streams my music or comes to my shows, you lot have changed my life. Words aren’t enough, but thank you.”
The last British rapper to score three Number 1 singles in the space of one year was Dizzee Rascal, who landed a trio of chart-toppers ten years ago with Holiday, Dirtee Disco and Shout, between September 2009 – June 2010.
Stormzy beats strong competition this week from Lewis Capaldi, who zooms from 12 to Number 2 with Before You Go.
