Naughty Boy scores his first ever Number 1 single as a lead artist, and the fastest selling single of 2013 so far, with La La La FT Sam Smith.

Emeli Sande collaborator Naughty Boy has clocked up the fastest selling single of 2013 so far, and his first ever Official Singles Chart Number 1 as a lead artist, with La La La FT Sam Smith.

Naughty Boy (real name Shahid Khan) began his career as a music producer in 2005 after getting a grant from The Prince’s Trust to establish Naughty Boy Recordings. Later that year he won £44,000 on Noel Edmonds’ hugely popular game show, Deal Or No Deal, which he used to buy more recording equipment. Since then he has collaborated with the likes of Emeli Sande, Wiley, Chipmunk, Leona Lewis, Tinie Tempah and Rihanna, to name but a few.

After clocking up sales of over 145,000 copies during its first calendar week on sale, today La La La nudges ahead of 2013 previous fastest selling single, The Saturdays’ What About Us FT Sean Paul, which sold over 114,000 week one.
