Nico & Vinz
Am I Wrong

Warner Bros. Records

WE SAY

Nico Sereba and Vincent Dery are the duo Nico & Vinz and there's a good chance they may be on your radar already - we noted earlier in the week that this song had become the first-ever to reach the UK Top 100 on streaming alone, racking up close to half a million plays a week and growing rapidly. This global smash topped the Shazam worldwide chart for six consecutive weeks and here initial radio support is across Radio 1 (now added to the C list) and 1Xtra, Radio 2 (straight onto their B list this week), Capital, Capital Xtra, Kiss and Kiss Fresh. It's Top 5 in the States, has reached no.1 in 25 countries so far, sold more than two million copies and gone 20-times platinum in Scandinavia. The stats speak for themselves. This is a great track that connects with people on a massive scale, thanks to its winning blend of African rhythms, soulful pop vocals and a great lyrical message of positivity and self-expression. When this finally gets released as a download in just over three weeks, you've got to be looking at it fighting off all other contenders at no.1 and hanging around the top end of the chart for the rest of the year. Destined to be one of the biggest singles of 2014, you might think you're late to the party but, in reality, things are just heating up. Truly enormous.
