Chase & Status and Stormzy make it two weeks at Number 1 with BACKBONE

Chase & Status and Stormzy make it two consecutive weeks atop the Official Singles Chart with BACKBONE, and is once again the UK’s most-streamed song of the week (5.5 million streams). 

On securing their first-ever Official Number 1 single last week, Chase & Status’s Saul Milton and Will Kennard 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. And for it to go straight in at Number 1? It couldn't get any better for us.”
