The pair first teased the song back in April at American music festival, Coachella.
Last week on the chart, Shaboozey’s slick country bop returned to Number 1 after first climbing to the top spot back in June and then again in May.
But another week wasn’t meant to be as Chase & Status and Stormzy have officially knocked Shaboozey off the top of the chart.
We chatted to Saul from Chase & Status about linking up with Stormzy and originally getting him to sing on a drill beat, then adding his vocals to the drum and bass music.
It was a dance fest on the show as we were also joined by Sonny Fodera, Jazzy & D.O.D about their massive new tune ‘Somedays’.
We had 7 other new entries on the Big Top 40 this week, including Katy Perry’s new song ‘LIFETIMES’, which is dedicated to her daughter Daisy, as well as ‘Cry Baby’ from David Guetta, Clean Bandit and Anne Marie.
Can Chase & Status and Stormzy retain their Number 1 spot again next week? Could we see the return of Shaboozey for a fourth week, or could a brand new track top the Official Big Top 40?
Listen next Sunday from 4pm on Global Player to find out!
