Stefflon Don scores 11th UK chart hit with Selecta

British-Jamaican rapper and deejay Stefflon Don earned her 11th entry on the UK Singles chart as Selecta (credited to Chase & Status featuring Stefflon Don) debuted last week at #27.

Selecta is produced by English electronic duo Chase & Status (comprising Saul Milton and Will Kennard). It is featured on the duo’s mixtape 2 Ruff, Vol 1, which was released on November 10 via Virgin/EMI Records.

The mixtape peaked at #4 on the UK Albums chart.

This is not the first time that Chase and Status have worked with an artiste of Jamaican heritage (Stefflon Don’s father is from Denham Town in Kingston). The duo previously worked with Capleton on the song Duppy Men, which peaked at #94 on the UK chart in 2005; Cutty Ranks on a remix of Retreat (2018); Kabaka Pyramid on the track Murder Music; and Burro Banton and Mr Vegas on the song Delete/Big Man Skank.

Stefflon Don is best known for her 2017 #7 UK hit Hurtin M (featuring French Montana), and Boasy featuring British rapper Wiley and Sean Paul, which rose to #11 on the UK Singles chart in 2019.

Her other charted singles include Senseless (#63 in 2018), 47 featuring Sidhu Moose Wala, Mist and Steel Banglez (#17 in 2019), Linkup featuring Geko, Deno and Dappy (#84 in 2019), Ding a Ling featuring British rapper Skepta (#64 in 2017), and Instruction by Jax Jones featuring Demi Lovato (#13 in 2017).

Still in the UK Singles chart, Nightmares by Chris Brown featuring Byron Messia debuts at #23, giving Messia his second entry on the chart for this year. In June, Talibans topped out at #12.

Moving now to the Germany’s Urban Music chart, where Beama by Shenseea featuring American rapper Lola Brooke debuts at #40. The song was released via Rich Immigrants/Interscope earlier this month.

Over on the streaming and sales-driven Billboard Reggae Albums chart there is not much activity to report as most of the titles retain their places from a week ago.

Bob Marley and the Wailers spend 202 non-consecutive weeks on top with Legend, while Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy and Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul are #2 and #3 respectively.

Dutty Rock by Sean Paul is #4, Greatest Hits by UB40 is #5; while Set in Stone, Wisdom and World on Fire by Stick Figure are #6, #7 and #8.

No Love by Byron Messia remains at #9 and Damian “Jr Gong” Marley’s Welcome to Jamrock re-enters at #10.

Drift by Teejay dips from #41 to #43 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, but it fares better on Rhythmic Airplay darting from #33 to #30. Over on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Drift backtracks from #33 to #35.

On the New York Reggae chart, Bad Boy Johnny by Tony Roy clocks a third week at #1. Meanwhile, No Destroyer by Burning Spear steps up from #7 to #5, Statue of a Fool by Richie Stephens gains from #11 to #9, and Starlight by Naomi Cowan is on the move from #18 to #15.

The Lord Says by Ginjah (28) and Faith Over Fear by Hopeton Lindo (30) are the new entries.

Look a Girl by brothers Stephen and Chino McGregor takes over the #1 spot on the South Florida Reggae chart.

Brutal by Mykal Rose moves up from #21 to #19.

Switch on You by Romain Virgo (24) and Queen of the Arena by Chardel Rhoden (#25) are this week’s new entries.
