Dizzee Rascal's new single Dance With Me featuring Calvin Harris climbs strongly in the chart to 4th place after featuring in the chart over the last month. This song is certain to be a hit for Dizzee after being Tagged by thousands of Shazam users across the country ahead of its official release on 7th July.
