Tinie Tempah f/ Jess Glynne - "Not Letting Go"

[Juan Carlos]

New single from Tinie Tempah called "Not Letting Go", which features Jess Glynne.



Available for pre-order. Out on June 19 in New Zealand, so I guess the rest of the release dates would be around that time too.

This is absurdly catchy. I'm already hooked.

This song is SO GOOD

Such a throwback summer vibe! If this were an American rapper it would smash the Hot 100.

It took awhile, but I really like this now. I wasn't totally sold at first, but now I can't get it out of my head.

[Fancy]

Top 200 on iTunes in the US without any promo. Could Tinie grab a second hit?

3rd song on Hot Tracks. That helps a lot. I hope this smashes though.

just released in the uk, and is currently #1 on their itunes with a commanding lead

Go Jess! Get that fourth UK #1 next week :)

[Juan Carlos]

Oh! I wasn't expecting that lead to be honest, but I guess it could be mainly because of Tinie's performance of the track with Sasha Keable (Jess is due to have a vocal surgery) on Graham Norton's show last Friday.

Anyway, I think it's going to be a close race for the #1 spot between this song and "Are You With Me" by Lost Frequencies and it could be a "Crazy Stupid Love"/"Rude" situation again. That said, I really want Tinie/Jess to reach atop this week because Lost Frequencies has more chances to do it the following week in my opinion.

[Juan Carlos]

Early Tuesday update in the UK and "Not Letting Go" is currently atop there, followed by "Are You With Me" and "I Don't Like It, I Love It".

From the Official Charts:

Tinie Tempah is on course to take this week's Official Singles Chart top spot with his Jess Glynne collaboration "Not Letting Go".

The track is currently almost 10,000 combined chart sales ahead of its nearest competitor Lost Frequencies, who enters the Top 40 at Number 2 with "Are You With Me" following its download release.

If its sales momentum continues, "Not Letting Go" will mark Tinie's sixth UK Number 1 following "Pass Out" (2010), "Written In the Stars" FT Eric Turner (2010), "R.I.P." with Rita Ora (2012), "Tsunami (Jump)" with DVBBS & Borgeous (2014) and "Crazy Stupid Love" with Cheryl (2014).

Jess Glynne has topped the chart three times to date, with Clean Bandit's "Rather Be" (2014), Route 94's "My Love" (2014) and "Hold My Hand" (2015).

Midweek update in the UK and "Not Letting Go" is still atop with 10k combined sales over "Are You With Me" there.

Debuts atop in the UK, becoming Tinie Tempah's third solo (sixth overall) #1 and Jess Glynne's fourth overall #1 there.
