Dave and Fredo have knocked Calvin Harris and Sam Smith off the top of the Official UK Singles Chart after five weeks with their massive new single.

The brilliant ‘Freaky Friday’ has debuted at Number 1 on the Top 40, bringing an end to ‘Promises’’ five-week reign and making history while doing so.

The independently-released track lands at the top of chart after racking up a massive 6.7 million streams in the past week, leaving him “speechless”.

“I’m speechless right now,” he told OfficialCharts.com. “I just want to say thank you to everyone that’s helped us get this Number 1. I can’t even explain to you how grateful I am.”

Dave joins Drake as only the second artist to have a song debut at Number 1 in 2018, something which certainly doesn’t happen to everyone.

In addition to being the first number one single for both Dave and Fredo, this is being celebrated as a big moment for UK rap more generally.

SB.TV founder Jamal Edwards told OfficialCharts.com: “It's a very monumental time for British music and this is definitely one of these moments that we will remember for a very long time. I've seen Dave and Fredo's rise from the ground up and I feel like there's so much more to come, very exciting indeed.“

Elsewhere on the chart, Rita Ora’s ‘Let You Love Me’ climbs to Number 5, while Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s epic ‘Shallow’ from A Star Is Born arrives at Number 6.

Game



At this age, how are them man still hating?

My young boy in a different country

But he ain't ever been on vacation

One hand on the girl I'm dating

One hand on the cash I'm making

We come through like Funky Friday

And have all of your mandem skating



I came in, 550 on trainers

Island girl amazing, could be Bajan, Trini or Haitian

She got a bag with flowers

If the trainers match I'll take it

Me and bro just shut down Gucci

Had the whole of the shop floor waiting

Who's that girl in the line

With the big behind that's looking all tempting?

If her friend is a dead ting

Take one for the team with a bredrin

Two peng tings at the entrance

Want attention but a man can't let them

She must think I'm a reverend

You ain't coming here getting redemption, no way



At this age, how are them man still hating?

My young boy in a different country

But he ain't ever been on vacation

One hand on the girl I'm dating

One hand on the cash I'm making

We come through like Funky Friday

And have all of your mandem skating



I see dem man skating now, I'm talking about running their legs

My youngens in country plugging the Z

He can't even buck me till nothing is left

I flooded my right, I flooded my left

I'm ducking your wife, I'm ducking the feds

The bell on the trap, it's buzzing again

But still I ain't trying to get busted by feds

Look man I ain't caught the bus in a sec'

It's me and my rambo cutting through West

The way that I went and just flooded my neck

I'm shocked that I ain't gotta struggle for breath

With me and the missus be going on dates

She's holding the dipper, I'm holding her waist

Just see some pigs moving low in the mains

So I phone up my nigga and told him the plate



Tell a peng girl you can HMU

I don't wanna cuddle and H-U-G

And I'm still shopping in HMV

For all of my niggas in HMP

Heard you got a girl going DMU

If I DM'd you would she DM me?

Young black brudda I'm a stylish g

Man I put the IC in IC3



They tell me I'm gifted in rap

Nothing was nice, used to live in the trap

Now if I go ask that chick for her snap

I can bet money she's giving me that

I'm always in Harrods, I'm filling the bag

Them niggas ain't winners, them niggas are mad

Gyal at my vids and them bitches are bad

They get picked in the foreigns and ditched in the cab

Game



At this age, how are them man still hating?

My young boy in a different country

But he ain't ever been on vacation

One hand on the girl I'm dating

One hand on the cash I'm making

We come through like Funky Friday

And have all of your mandem skating Writer(s): Tyrell Paul, David Omoregie, Fraser Thorneycroft Smith, Marvin Bailey Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com Hide the lyrics
