S01E03: Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone

Episode three of Chart Attack is all about serial bop merchant and Scottish DJ legend Calvin Harris, as we explore his 2009 number 1 ‘I’m Not Alone’. This was a pivotal period for Calvin as he transitioned from oddball indie electro maverick into massive global star pumping out hit after hit, becoming the king of the summer banger. We’ll talk about that journey from the bonkers and frankly iconic ‘Calvin In Dumfries’ to just how this song became his first number 1 single. We’ll also chat a bit about the events of 2009, including The Horrors, pigeons and pineapples, as well as taking a trip to Dino Park and pondering the question, ‘Why do all DJs seem to be so tall?’ Chart Attack is brought to you by Dork. It’s hosted by Abigail Firth and Martyn Young and produced by Patrick Gunning. Chart data is sourced from the Official Charts Company.
