Tinie Tempah rose to prominence in 2010, with the release of his debut album entitled “Disc-Overy”, which featured guest appearances from Kelly Rowland, Eric Turner, Ellie Goulding and Wiz Khalifa to name a few. The album spawned such singles as “Pass Out”, “Invincible”, and “Till I’m Gone”, all of which contributed to Tempah’s overall fame. However, it was a single entitled “Written in the Stars” that brought him the most commercial success. Upon its release, the song became an instant hit in the United Kingdom and abroad, as it peaked at #1 on the UK Singles Chart, and made its way to #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Written in the Stars” began to be featured in various advertisements and commercials, and was even used as a theme song for WrestleMania XXVII event, and was later sampled in promotions for a television series called “Necessary Roughness”, starring Callie Thorne, Marc Blucas and Scott Cohen. In 2012, “Written in the Stars” was featured in the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games, and during the Super Bowl XLVI as an entrance song for the New York “Giants”. Tinie Tempah’s debut album in general received favorable reviews from the critics, as well as listeners, and was later certified double Platinum in the United Kingdom.
