Nasty Nas was visiting the Scottish capital as part of his UK tour, and The Hub’s very own Smiler was invited to support. If the reaction on Twitter is anything to go by Smiler has won himself plenty of new fans with his stellar performance.

Stooshe’s single ‘Black Heart‘ is currently the 4th most-played song on UK Radio!

After the girls’ success of debuting at #4 in the UK Top 40 singles chart on the weekend, Nielsen Music – a market research body for the music industry – have added to the good news with statistics showing that Stooshe’s second single has been played over 1,000 times on UK radio stations in the last 24 hours.

The news bodes well for another strong Stooshe chart position this week, and is to the delight of those of us here at The Hub Entertainment, who have been working as the trio’s specialist radio pluggers.

CEO of The Hub, Austin Daboh, said: “As the company who secured Stooshe’s first ever radio spin, everyone at The Hub Entertainment are so proud to see the girls dominate UK radio. It’s a testament to the quality of the record that it can sit as comfortably on the A-list on BBC 1Xtra as it can on the A-list on Heart FM. I’d like to thank Anton Partridge and the whole Warner team for choosing The Hub as specialist radio pluggers for Stooshe.”

‘Black Heart‘ is released through Warner Music UK, and available to buy on iTunes HERE. Check out the music video above.

Stooshe’s second single ‘Black Heart‘ has debuted at #4 in the UK Top 40!

Having reached #5 in the singles chart with their debut effort ‘Love Me‘, the Stooshe girls will be delighted to have gone one better with their latest effort. The impressive chart performance follows a promotional run that saw a Live Lounge session on BBC Radio 1 and interviews on Choice FM and 1Xtra with the likes of The Hub’s very own Adele Roberts.

‘Black Heart‘ remains on the A-lists of Radio 1, Radio 2 and 1Xtra so expect another high position in the chart for Karis, Alexandra & Courtney next week. If you haven’t bought the track yet, get it on iTunes HERE.

The Hub Entertainment are responsible for the specialist radio promotion of Stooshe.
