An online campaign has started to drive Stormzy’s Shut Up to the coveted Christmas No.1 slot later this week.
Speaking to The Lad Bible on Saturday, Stormzy said of the campaign “I’m a bit crazy so sometimes I just get these mad ideas that, on paper, aren’t even possible. But in my head I just think ‘yeah, f*ck it, let’s do it’… [if I won] I’d have a party and pop some bottles and make a video being like ‘aaaaahaha fuck it.'”
Excitement has reached such high-heights, that bookmakers have already slashed the odds for the track to 10/1 (at the time of writing), and pits Stormzy against Justin Bieber and the newly-crowned X Factor UK winner, Louisa Johnson.
You can buy Shut Up by clicking here (or the iTunes link) – here’s why we strongly believe the track should reign supreme in this year’s charting:
1) The X Factor winning single (which historically has taken the Xmas No.1 spot) is really REALLY shit this year.
2) Getting Shut Up to Xmas No.1 would be a deserved accolade for Stormzy
3) Getting Shut Up to Xmas No.1 would be a deserved accolade for the entire grime scene.
4) Getting a grime track to No.1 at any point of the year is amazing – the press that a Christmas No.1 would achieve would lead to the genre finally being taken seriously by the mass public.
5) Stormzy invited this girl on to perform the track at his September Noisey set.
6) Stormzy opened for Anthony Joshua during his fight this weekend (and that’s amazing in itself!)
