New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Stormzy scores the UK's first Number 1 song of 2020 and the decade as Own It climbs to the top spot on this week's UK Singles Chart.
Own It ft.
Ed Sheeran and
Burna Boy climbs from 5 to 1 to earn
Stormzy his third chart-topper in the UK in 12 months, following Vossi Bop and Take Me Back To London (with Ed Sheeran) in 2019. The track scores 57,000 chart this week, including 6.6 million streams.
In a new video interview with OfficialCharts.com,
Stormzy reacts to scoring his third Number 1 single: "When we shoot, we score! 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 12 months was
Dizzee Rascal over 10 years ago, who landed a trio of chart-toppers with Holiday, Dirtee
Disco and Shout between
September 2009 and June 2010.
Own It earns Nigerian singer-songwriter
Burna Boy his first Number 1 and

Jax Jones ft.
Ella Henderson vaults 35 spots to 9 to become Jax's sixth Top 10.
