After a placement on Wednesday night’s edition of ITV’s Love Island, the Grace Carter cover of Chris Isaak’s classic ‘Wicked Games’ has smashed the record for most shazams in one day, topping 34,000 individual shazams in 18 hours. Grace’s powerful rendition of the 1989 hit struck a chord with audiences nationwide, not only smashing the record for most shazams in one day, but reaching #2 on the UK Shazam chart on the 3rd July, #1 on the 5th July and #12 on the iTunes chart in the UK.

On choosing to record her own version of the song Grace said: “I love this song. Someone suggested I did a cover of it and when I listened back it really resonated with me and my experiences with love, loss and feelings of vulnerability.”
Grace’s latest original recording was the brilliant ‘Don’t Hurt Like It Used To’ which saw Grace in fine form. The video, reaching near half a million views, was set to a backdrop of a desolate lunar landscape as directed by Nadia (Years & Years, the 1975, Rae Morris). Watch it HERE
