The 23 year olds project titled ‘We are all alone in this together’ shot to number 1 this week. The project outsold Anne Maries ‘Therapy’ album which charted at second by over 55 thousand album sales, selling 74 thousand albums in the first week. This made it not only Dave’s second number 1 album but also the highest first-week sales for a UK rap album in over a decade.

Alongside the album going number 3 tracks found themselves in the top 10, ‘Clash’ featuring Stormzy charted at second, ‘Verdansk’ at 4 and ‘In the fire’ with an all-star lineup of Fredo, Meekz, Ghetts and Giggs charting at 6th.
Dave shared the news of his album going number one and gave a shout out to his fans in the caption, saying “This is the work of the people, the best supporters on earth” ending the post with “It’s our number 1”.
Dave gave back to his fans while rolling out the album, handing out Jordan 4s in Central London to his fans as well as purchasing one of his fans a Rolex.
While celebrating his accomplishment around friends and family the 23-year-old superstar from Streatham was surprised by fellow UK rap giant, Sttormzy, with a 1 of 1 Audemar Piquet.
