Established DJ-producer Sonny Fodera has made chart history with another independent track 'Somedays' entering the UK Top 10 Singles Chart on OCC!

The achievement happened this past Friday, when 'Somedays' ft. D.O.D and Jazzy on Sonny's own label Solotoko entered at the no.10 spot.

Sonny Fodera is now the only independent artist to achieve 2 x top 10 singles on his own label (not a major label) in 20+ years, especially within 12-months, proving that artist owned label breaking records in the charts is possible.

It follows his previous release ‘Mind Still’, which is the #1 selling British independent single of 2024 to date, which followed his single ‘Asking’ (no. 7 in OCC), having sold over 1-million units in the UK since release in July 2023.

About:

Dance music sensation Sonny Fodera is back with another of his irresistible house singles 'Somedays,' this time in collaboration with Jazzy & D.O.D with an epic music video to match. It comes hot on the heels of his last global smash hit 'Mind Still' which amassed 15M streams in under three months and was added to worldwide radio playlists on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and CAD.

With now over 1 billion streams  across his catalogue, it is now almost a year since Sonny Fodera dropped 'Asking' which accumulated 160M streams alone while spending 50 weeks in the UK OCC charts (peak no.7), plus going Platinum in the UK, Double Platinum in Ireland and getting Gold certified in Australia. That was the latest in a long line of fresh and captivating house singles that have long since proved he has a knack for innovative sounds on his own independent label Solotoko.  

For this one, Sonny Fodera teams up with singer/producer Jazzy once more having already worked with him to great acclaim on 'Life Lesson', whilst also collaborating with the likes of casso and Headie One on ‘Zeros’, Belters Only most famously on chart topper ‘Make Me Feel Good’, and releasing her debut solo album ‘Constellations’ with single ‘Giving Me’ peaking at no.3 on the UK Singles Chart.

Meanwhile, British-born DJ and producer D.O.D continues to set sonic trends and rack up millions of streams to his name with his high-energy style and anthemic tunes like Gold certified ‘Still Sleepless’, which spent  21 consecutive weeks in the official UK Singles Charts as well as Gold certified ‘So Much In Love’ and epic collab with Jax Jones, ‘Won’t Forget For You’.

Road testing the primed dance hit, Sonny has already performed 'Somedays' live at his epic and sold out Alexandra Palace show back in April and Longitude festival in June, causing huge crowd reactions. Following huge festival and club sets at Glastonbury,  Hideout Festival, Brooklyn Mirage and more, Sonny is also set for another record breaking summer with the return of his annual 16-week Amnesia residency in Ibiza for the third year running as well as headline shows on the dance stage at Reading and Leeds Festival, ARC Music Festival in Chicago and he will also be headlining not one but two sold out shows at Warehouse Project in Manchester, becoming the first artist to sell out two dates without a lineup.

The brilliantly sultry vocals and melancholic chords of 'Somedays' are powered by sleek, future-facing drums. The atmospheric vocal builds the mood before feel-good pianos will get hands in the air and crowds of any size singing along. Paired with Margate’s beach backdrops in the music video, ‘Somedays’ perfectly captures the essence of a UK summer, showcasing Jazzy's incredible energy throughout.

'Somedays' is feel-good music for good times and is sure to set all new records this summer.
