Three-time MOBO winning artist Stormzy has started his bid to get his popular song “Shut Up” to the number 1 spot in time for Christmas.
The song had a spike in downloads after the Croydon MC performed the track as boxer Anthony Joshua made his ring entrance on Saturday.
With over 13 million views on YouTube already, “Shut Up” is currently sitting at number #8 in the UK Charts as Stormzy hopes to beat X-Factor winner Louisa Johnson to the prize, with both artists looking to secure their first #1. The odds from bookmaker Coral on Stormzy to pip Louisa to the top spot are at 10/1 currently, meaning people are starting to believe that he could do what many initially thought of as impossible!
This would be a huge success for Big Mike following his MOBO wins for “Best Male Act” and “Best Grime Artist” in November.
I can’t lie, it’s been a good year for the kid!
