Verse August 19, 2012 Chart Success, Soul/R&B/Alt Comments

Roc Nation’s unstoppable pop force and superstar-in-the-making, Rita Ora has topped the UK singles chart for the third time in a row.

Following the collaborative track “Hot Right Now” with DJ Fresh and the Tinie Tempah featuring “R.I.P”, the West London bomshell shot to the top of the charts, knocking Grime godfather Wiley‘s “Heatwave” off the top spot, with her Notorious B.I.G referencing pop smash “How We Do (Party)” which is taken from her debut solo album, Ora, which is scheduled to be released on August 27th.

The second highest entry this week comes from Emeli Sande whose single “Read All About It (Part III)” (her solo version of Professor Green‘s chart topping single) entered at number three after receiving a major boost following her performance at the recent Olympic closing ceremony in London.
