Grime star reveals how he'll celebrate 'Dance Wiv Me''s success

Dizzee Rascal has revealed he's planning to party every night his single 'Dance Wiv Me' is Number One.

The song, a collaboration with producer and vocalist Calvin Harris and Dizzee's protégé Chrome, topped the UK singles chart last night (July 6).

Speaking to NME.COM, Dizzee explained: "Yeah, [last night] we just had a little bit of a drink and that - I'm gonna have another tonight, all week really. I'm just gonna keep going for it until someone knocks me off!

"Calvin's back in Scotland at the moment, but Chrome was there, he was down. He hasn't even had a song out before, you know!"

The rapper admitted he could be in trouble, however, if his single keeps the top spot for a long period of time: "If it's there for as long as Bryan Adams (16 weeks in 1991), I'll kill myself! As long as it's there at Number One I won't be sick of hearing it, though."
