For Casey Kasem Im Pat Buchanan. These are the weeks biggest hits from 20 to #1 and were counting em down! At #18 here’s this week’s highest debut. It’s the first hit on our chart for a hot new British DJ, songwriter, record producer and musician named, Shahid Khan. But when it comes to recording music, Shahid goes’ by the stage name, Naughty Boy. Originally, Shahid didn’t plan on becoming a musician. Initially he was studying Business and Marketing at London Guildhall University (now London Metropolitan University), but during his first semester he decided to drop out and did various part-time jobs including working at Dominos Pizza and Watford General Hospital. He decided to follow his ambition to write and produce his own music, under the name Naughty Boy Recordings. In the background, while working at those part-time job’s, Naughty Boy was recording songs in his parents garden shed in Charlock Way in Watford, Hertfordshire.The finances allowed him to upscale production from the garden shed to a studio in Ealing, West London. Eventually he got a three-year contract with Sony ATV, and a one album record deal with Virgin Records (EMI Records). Later, Naughty Boy applied to The Princes Trust in 2005, where he was awarded a grant of $5,000 dollars to help start up his business. Speaking to the Watford Observer in 2009 about the opportunity, Naughty Boy said: The Princes Trust has a scheme where they want to help people who they feel can set up their own business. I wanted to make music but I didnt have any equipment. They said they wanted to help me. That same year, he appeared on Channel 4s hit day-time game show Deal or No Deal, where he won $44,000, further enabling him to purchase equipment and begin recording. The producer now bases his recordings at his studio in Ealing, West London, England. And as they say, the rest is history. This week, Naughty Boy scores his first chart single here in the USA. He’s at #18 with a hot song that features guest vocal’s from English singer-songwriter, Sam Smith. Here’s “La la la.” youtube/watch?v=3O1_3zBUKM8
