UK hip hop star and US rocker among the most popular tracks that no-one has heard of. Yet.
Shazam's tagging chart - used by people trendier than us to predict what's going to be hot a few weeks from now - is out and Dizzee Rascal’s new single Dance With Me, featuring Calvin Harris, has climbed strongly to fourth place.
The track could well be a hit for Dizzee after being iD’d by 'thousands' of Shazam users across the UK ahead of its official release on July 7th.
There's also good news for Kid Rock - despite pulling out of a performance at the Download Festival this weekend due to dehydration, his new single All Summer Long enters the Shazam chart at number 21.
This week’s number one is Sweet about Me by Gabriella Cilmi, while Mint Royale’s Singing in the Rain drops to second place.
Meanwhile, Sub Focus enter the chart at number eight with Timewarp and Ironik continue to perform strongly with Stay With Me placed fifth.
Shazam’s top ten tagging chart for Monday June 9th to Monday June 16th 2008 is as follows:
