Mr Probz scores debut UK Number 1 with Waves

Dutch star Mr Probz makes a major splash on the Official Singles Chart with his debut UK release, Waves, going straight in at Number 1!

Following in the footsteps of his fellow countrymen Bingo Players, Martin Garrix and Nicky Romero – who have all scored chart toppers on our shores over the last year – Dutch hip-hop star turned singer, Mr Probz, has gone straight in at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart today with his debut UK release, Waves.

The single, which has sold nearly 127,000 copies in the UK over the last seven days, has also made a Top 10 splash in Belgium, France and The Netherlands after being remixed by German DJ and producer Robin Schulz.

“Wow! Number 1 in the UK! It happened so fast,” Mr Probz tells OfficialCharts.com. “I can’t go on Twitter and thank everyone personally, so right now I wanna say thanks to everybody that’s supported the single, everybody who bought it, and made sure it keeps creating waves.”
