Rising Artist: Songer
140 million streams in a year, Find My Face marking a new chapter - Songer is Reading's most versatile voice and 2026 is his moment.
140 million streams in a year is a number that demands attention. For Songer, an artist from Reading who has built a streaming presence that most signed artists would envy, that number represents the foundation for what Find My Face - his latest single - is attempting to do.
The Versatility
The thing that separates Songer from most artists operating in similar territory is genuine range. He can operate in melodic rap, more traditional UK hip hop, and R&B-adjacent spaces without any of it feeling forced or inconsistent. The identity holds across modes.
Find My Face leans into this. Rather than picking a lane and staying in it, the track moves - not chaotically, but with intent. The production choices shift alongside the vocal approach in ways that feel deliberate rather than scattered.

The Numbers in Context
140 million streams doesn't happen by accident. It requires consistent release, genuine audience development, and music that makes people return. Songer has built those streaming numbers organically - through quality and consistency rather than a single viral moment.
That's a more durable foundation than a hit. A hit can disappear. An audience that has followed an artist across multiple releases and chosen to stay represents something more valuable: a fanbase with a genuine relationship to the work.
What Find My Face Means
Find My Face is the statement that these numbers have earned. It's an artist operating with confidence, making the record he wanted to make rather than the record he thought the algorithm needed.
Whether it becomes the single that crosses him over to wider recognition or the one that solidifies his existing audience as a serious foundation - either outcome represents a step forward for an artist who has been quietly building something real.
