British-Jamaican rapper and deejay Stefflon Don earned her 11th entry on the UK Singles chart as Selecta (credited to Chase & Status featuring Stefflon Don) debuted last week at #27.
Selecta is produced by English electronic duo Chase & Status (comprising Saul Milton and Will Kennard). It is featured on the duo’s mixtape 2 Ruff, Vol 1, which was released on November 10 via Virgin/EMI Records.
The mixtape peaked at #4 on the UK Albums chart.
This is not the first time that Chase and Status have worked with an artiste of Jamaican heritage (Stefflon Don’s father is from Denham Town in Kingston). The duo previously worked with Capleton on the song Duppy Men, which peaked at #94 on the UK chart in 2005; Cutty Ranks on a remix of Retreat (2018); Kabaka Pyramid on the track Murder Music; and Burro Banton and Mr Vegas on the song Delete/Big Man Skank.
Stefflon Don is best known for her 2017 #7 UK hit Hurtin M (featuring French Montana), and Boasy featuring British rapper Wiley and Sean Paul, which rose to #11 on the UK Singles chart in 2019.
Her other charted singles include Senseless (#63 in 2018), 47 featuring Sidhu Moose Wala, Mist and Steel Banglez (#17 in 2019), Linkup featuring Geko, Deno and Dappy (#84 in 2019), Ding a Ling featuring British rapper Skepta (#64 in 2017), and Instruction by Jax Jones featuring Demi Lovato (#13 in 2017).
