Sealing a week which has seen Stormzy become the hottest voice in British music, his debut album ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’ has gone straight in at Number 1 in the Album Charts.
The Croydon wordsmith beat out competition from Rag ‘n’ Bone Man (in one of the closest chart races in a long time) to snatch the top spot, marking ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’ out as the first out and out grime album to make it to the top spot.
