lol. Not to mention there's Or Nah by The Game and Fancy which sound like his productions.
I think he had 5 songs in the top 10 at one point too. His domination is crazy, but all those songs are very catchy and good club tracks imo. The only one that's not so catchy is Na Na. I listen to it occasionally but it doesn't have me wanting to play it on repeat like the others do.

I don't think it's THAT surprising. It's a big hit that has R&B/soul and house influences. Also the vocalist on it is Sam Smith who's a soul singer. The song is also house influenced and urban radio did play some of the house hits back in the 90's (granted back then a lot of the singers on house songs were black), so not too strange that it plays them today, although maybe a bit surprising simply because there haven't been any house hits in the US in ages.
Also, in the UK it was urban stations like Rinse FM, Choice FM, Radio 1Xtra and pirate stations that supported Disclosure from early on, even with Running Remix, whilst pop stations never played that song, and Capital FM (one of the biggest pop stations in the country) refused to play Latch when it was smashing, and only started playing Disclosure after White Noise was released.
I maybe would have expected the song to chart on urban AC before urban though.
Don't by Ed Sheeran getting airplay on country radio is a lot more surprising imo.
