will.i.am is on track for his tenth UK Number 1 single with It’s My Birthday FT 17-year-old singer Cody Wise.
Rapper/singer/songwriter/producer and general all round musical powerhouse, will.i.am, is set to hit the Number 1 spot this weekend with It’s My Birthday, featuring 17-year-old US singer, Cody Wise.
It looks like getting to Number 1 will be a piece of cake for will.i.am! It’s My Birthday has a combined sales figure of over 42,000 so far this week, with just over 1% of that figure being accounted for by audio streams.
It’s the second week that audio streams from services such as; Spotify, Deezer, Napster, Music Unlimited, rara, Xbox Music and O2 Tracks have been included in the new-look Official Singles Chart, with 100 streams equating to one sale.
It’s My Birthday was written by Will and Cody, alongside Keith Harris (Madonna, Kelis, Britney Spears) and Indian composer, A.R. Rahman and, if it holds on to the top spot through to Sunday will be the tenth chart topper Will has appeared on, including five as a solo artist and five with The Black Eyed Peas.
Shocked at this tbh. 'It's My Birthday' is terrible. But whatever, I like will.i.am and I'm glad to see him do well. After all, he produced the best song on ARTPOP
