“Thiago Silva” has entered the charts this week after Dave’s set at Glastonbury last weekend.

The track from Dave and AJ Tracey was released back in 2016 but has entered the charts this week after Dave asked a member of the crowd to rap AJ Tracey’s verse on the track. 15-year-old Alex Mann joined Dave onstage and has now gone viral.

Also this week, Stormzy has re-entered the charts with his debut album Gang Signs and Prayers after headlining Glastonbury last Friday night. The album sat at number 73 and has now gone back into the top 20 at number 14. During his set, he featured seven tracks from the album, which saw a massive increase in sales and streams.
