From viral hit to chart smash… Jawsh 685 & Jason Derulo claim Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart with Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat).

The track started out as a viral melody on TikTok made by 17-year-old New Zealander Jawsh 685, before Jason Derulo wrote lyrics to the tune, leading to the pair teaming up.

Savage Love lifts from 4 to 1 this week, with 57,000 chart sales, including 6 million streams.

Reacting to the news, Jawsh 685 tells OfficialCharts.com:

“Being a youngin from South Auckland hitting the charts heavy to the point where we hit Number 1! Honestly it is just the biggest blessing I could have ever received, seeing it happen to not only me but for my family and friends! As always from here on out, thank you for all the support and love from around the globe! Stay safe, stay styla”.

It gives Jawsh 685 – real name Josh Nanai – a Number 1 debut single, while for Jason it earns him a fifth UK chart-topper and his first in five years. Jason’s previous Number 1 singles are: In My Head (2010), Don’t Wanna Go Home (2011), Talk Dirty ft. 2 Chainz (2013), Want To Want Me (2015). Check out our interview with Jawsh 685 here.

Sadly that's the musical mindset of Radio 1 audiences these days..Dermot Kennedy is too intelligent and a proper songsmith for their nursery rhymes..I just stick with Radio 2 where he and other proper greats still get more respect.

I knew that this was going to be a summer smash from the moment I heard it! :)
