Who is Dave?

English rapper Dave has had a string of Top 40 singles including Funky Friday ft. Fredo which debuted at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart in 2018. His debut album Psychodrama went straight to Number 1 in March 2019, winning the Mercury Music Prize in the same year.

On 31st October 2025, Dave became the first British rap act to debut three albums at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart. His third studio record The Boy Who Played The Harp landed straight in at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, securing the Brixton-born star a hat-trick of chart-toppers, joining 2019’s PSYCHODRAMA and We’re All Alone In This Together.

According to Official Charts data, The Boy Who Played The Harp notched up a massive 73,800 UK chart sales over the past seven days, making it the second biggest opening week for a British album this year.
