Great Adamz and Maddox Jones delivered the perfect mesh of Afrobeats and pop sensibility with ‘Body And Soul,’ a track that celebrates rhythm and connection in equal measure. Both hailing from their hometown of Northampton – and recently completing UK Tour dates together – the Radikal Records artists have individually carved out a career-defining year. Now, they cap off 2025 in joint celebration, with a #1 on the Music Week Black Music Chart UK.
The achievement marks Adamz’ second only within a few months, following a top spot for his standout hit ‘Funke’ in August – taken from his critically acclaimed album, ‘Blessed Boy’. Admired for crafting feel-good hits that lure you to the dancefloor, topping the charts is only fitting for an artist on a steady global rise: from viral TikTok dances, millions of streams, to standout performances at the likes of Latitude Festival.
Maddox Jones released his deluxe album, ‘(Still) Waiting For The World To Turn’ to glowing praise earlier this year – landing him support slots alongside artists like Lucy Spraggan and Rebecca Ferguson. Yet he’s made significant noise on his own terms this Autumn, taking his collection of genuine and heartwarming indie-pop bangers on the road for his biggest UK tour yet.
Securing the No. 1 spot feels like the perfect curtain call for the pair’s bold collaboration – and a fitting prelude to what 2026 may bring.
