Jamie Miller Becomes First Welsh Artist in 15 Years to Top UK Singles Chart
The Welsh singer’s track surged after a Jennifer Love Hewitt video sparked a TikTok dance trend and drove it to the top, the Official Charts Company said.
- On Friday, Cardiff-born singer Jamie Miller topped the Official Singles Chart with his viral hit Babydoll, narrowly defeating Tate McRae's Housewife for the number one spot, according to the Official Charts Company.
- Following its August release, Babydoll gained viral momentum on TikTok through a two-step choreography trend, with popularity surging after Miller released a remix featuring Off Campus star Antonio Cipriano.
- Miller becomes the first Welsh artist in 15 years to achieve a number one single, and the first solo male Welsh artist to reach the summit in 41 years since Shakin' Stevens in 1985.
- Elsewhere, Irish band Fontaines secured their second number one album on the Official Albums Chart with Dopamine Chamber, marking the third biggest opening week for an album in 2026.
- Miller, who considered quitting music earlier in 2026, told the Official Charts Company, "I don't even know what to say other than thank you so much for getting me number one." He called it "the biggest thing" that has happened to him.
