On September 24, 2016, Rag’n’Bone Man scored his first Top 40 hit with Human.

Rory Graham, that’s what Rag’n’Bone Man is actually called, is quite striking both in appearance and music. With his big beard and stature, tattooed arms, and 1.96 meters tall, he has an impressive appearance. And you haven’t even heard his impressive voice yet. His stage name is the English word for ‘rag farmer’. This is someone who usually comes to your house to pick up used clothes or cloth. Rory chose that name because he often watched reruns of the British comedy series Steptoe And Son. It was about two cloth farmers. He thought Rag’n’Bone Man really sounded like a blues name and suited the music.

On September 16, 2016, Human by Rag’n’Bone was declared an Alarm Disk and a week later entered the Top 40 at number 26. It is surprising that Human first became a hit in mainland Europe and only then in its own country. country. New Man was a hit there in December. The song rose to second place three times, but number 1 hits Rockabye by Clean Banidt and Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran prevented it from climbing any higher. In the Netherlands, Rag’n’Bone Man had to settle for 9th place in November.

In 2019, Rag’n’Bone Man improved his personal record in the Top 40. As the singer of Calvin Harris’ hit song Giant, he reached fourth place in March of that year. In total, the song spent 14 weeks in the top 10 and Giant became a bigger hit than Human. In England, Rag’n’Bone Man again suffered the same fate. Giant also ended up in second place there. The song spent five weeks in that position, but during this time the number 1 hit Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi prevented it.

Sjaak (1985) and James Carter (1997) have birthdays today.
