One thing Calvin Harris has? Hits.
Across a career stretching his own solo music, chart-topping productions for the likes of Rihanna, Rita Ora and Cheryl Cole as well as headline-grabbing collaborations with Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith and, yes, Rihanna again, Calvin has become one of the most reliable and successful hitmakers of his generation.
And his latest record? Literally 8 years in the making. Released this week, 96 Months packs chart-toppers such as One Kiss with Dua Lipa and Promises with Sam Smith into one collection for the first time, chronicling the eclectic and sonically diverse production work Calvin has displayed over these last, well, 96 months.
To celebrate, we've crunched the numbers and revealed Calvin Harris' Official Top 40 biggest songs ever in the UK for the first time.
Don't be afraid to catch Feels! This infectious summer tune was the biggest hit from Calvin's ode to 70s funk, Funky Wav Bounces Vol. 1, which was no feat considering the LP also contained tracks with big hitters like Ariana Grande, Migos and Frank Ocean. Fun fact; Feels is also the most recent chart-topper for Teenage Dream queen Katy Perry,
As he began to produce for other artists more and more post-We Found Love, there was less focus on Calvin's solo output and, indeed, his vocals. Indeed, Feel So Close (which sees Calvin back on singing duties) was born out of confusion and frustration; Calvin had played his label some tracks he'd been working on for 2012's 18 Months, but they'd got a muted response. So instead, he wrote and sang on Feel So Close in a matter of hours.
A school disco classic. Dance Wiv Me was the first Number 1 single for Dizzee Rascal, who got Calvin involved in the hook of the song when he heard (and loved) 2007 classic Acceptable In The 80s.
The most recent single from Calvin's output where his own vocals took him all the way to Number 1, Summer does indeed sound like, well, summer, even 10 years on.
We don't need golden rings, but we'll certainly take the endlessly entertaining, ever-twisting beat of Promises, that fits around Sam Smith's sensual vocals like a glove. There could have been a lot of pressure on Calvin's shoulders to follow-up One Kiss with an equally impressive hit, but Promises doesn't sound dragged down by expectations, it sounds freed by them.
Gritty warbler Rag'n'Bone Man may have seemed like an odd choice for a feature on a Calvin Harris track, but his soulful, guttural vocals are a perfect mix for the rumbling synths of Giant.
Is it nirvana? One of the most stylish club records of its time, How Deep Is Your Love found Calvin teaming up with production duo Disciples, along with a pitched-up, un-credited vocal from the song's co-writer, Ina Wroldsen. A bit of pop lore for you; when the song was being demo'd, British indie auteur FKA twigs originally laid down vocals for How Deep Is Your Love. Imagine what could have been!
We Found Love is one of those untouchable, mercurial pop moments, so when Calvin Harris and Rihanna reunited for a second track together, the question on everyone's lips was of course...how can they top it?
Well. This Is What You Came For succeeds by not even trying to, it's less frantic and manic than its older sister, settling into a more mature Eurodance beat. We would be loathe to mention, of course that That Is What You Came For was, of course, written by Calvin and Taylor Swift, who originally took the writing credit under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg (her demo version of the track finally leaked last year, and you can still hear Tay's vocals in the background of the track on the hook).
One of the most iconic dance records of the 21st century, and a landmark moment for both artists caught in its momentum. The first song Calvin took full charge of as a producer and writer in his own right, and a flag in the ground for Rihanna as a legitimate, all-time pop influencer of the highest degree, time has done little to dull We Found Love's shine, simply because if you look for it hard enough, you will see it everywhere in modern dance music.
What makes One Kiss the perfect summer song? Is it a retro production that takes you back to Ibiza? A smooth, cooing vocal performance from its main star? Or a earworm of a chorus so strong it'll be stuck in your head for days? Well, One Kiss had all of these to its merit (the best bit of the song? The way the refrain somehow comes back harder each and every time, by the time the final chorus hits, you're basically having a stroke) and used everything to its advantage.
Calvin's ninth UK Number 1 single, it was the all-important second chart-topper for Dua Lipa, denying her one-hit wonder status for the rest of her career and setting her on the path to restructure her own stardom and go stratospheric on Future Nostalgia.
Overall, One Kiss clocks in with 3.5 million UK chart units, including 390 million streams, making it Calvin (and Dua's!) most-streamed song in the UK, and biggest of their careers overall.
