Smashproof shatters 23 year old NZ chart record

 

It's official! Smashproof have broken a 23 year old record by clocking up the longest consecutive run at #1 by a local act on the NZ Singles Chart! The hit single 'Brother' - which features the amazing Gin Wigmore - won over the New Zealand public, made Smashproof a household name, and has now made NZ Chart history.

The release of Tuesday's NZ Top 40 Singles Chart brings the incredible news that Smashproof have held on to the #1 spot for TEN WEEKS IN A ROW!

"We're totally overwhelmed! We never expected 'Brother' to get this big – we were stoked to get to number one, but breaking a record? That's massive! We really just want to thank everyone who has supported the track and especially all the fans who have bought it"

Smashproof, comprising Deach, Tyree (Niuean) and Young Sid (Cook Islands Maori), first burst onto the scene in 2005 and describe themselves as "three young Polynesians from South Auckland with big dreams" - some of those dreams just became a reality.

The record for the longest run at #1 on the NZ Singles chart by a local act was previously set by the America's Cup-themed single 'Sailing Away' by All Of Us, which spent nine consecutive weeks at the top in 1986.  Universal
