CHASE & STATUS

Chase & Status are an English electronic music duo composed of Saul Milton aka Chase (born June 23, 1981) and Will Kennard aka Status (born October 21, 1980). Chase & Status met when they were both students at university in Manchester, and scored a series of Dance Chart chart-toppers early in their career such as Hurt You and Take Me Away.

The duo made their UK Official Singles Chart debut with Love’s Theme in 2005, Chase & Status have notched up several hit songs since with guests such as Plan B, Kano, Liam Bailey and Tinie Tempah from their Number 2-peaking album No More Idols. They were nominated for Best British Group at the 2012 BRIT Awards.

In August 2024, Chase & Status joined forces with British superstar rapper Stormzy on drum & bass single BACKBONE, the song went straight in at the summit of the Official Singles Chart giving Chase & Status their first ever Number 1 single.

Reacting to the news, Chase & Status told Official Charts: “We knew that connecting with Stormzy was going to create something special, but we didn't expect a KO reaction like this. To see him running out at our show at The Milton Keynes Bowl, in his best man’s suit; straight from a wedding and in front of 45,000 people was insane! One of the greatest British MCs to ever do it, spitting over DnB & for it to go straight into Number 1? It couldn't get any better for us.”  Image: Moira O'Hara/Shutterstock
