Born in Pristina, Kosovo but raised in London, Rita Ora made her first official appearance in 2007 when she guested on Craig David's single "Awkward." In 2009, Rita signed to Jay-Z's label Roc Nation and hit the number one spot in 2012 with her debut solo single, "R.I.P." Later than year Rita released her debut album, simply titled "Ora", which went straight to the number one spot on the U.K. album charts. Following the release of her debut album, Rita toured the USA and dropped collaborations with Iggy Azalea, Snoop Lion, Charli XCX and Chris Brown. In spring of 2017, Rita Ora released her new record "Your Song" and is planning to drop her album in early 2018.
On perseverance from the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top ten songs in the UK.
“Let Me Love You” is Ora’s thirteenth top 10, which now stands as the most top 10s any solo female act has been able to rack up since the Official Charts Company began compiling the ranking decades ago. According to the outlet, Ora has now passed two legends—Petula Clark and Shirley Bassey—to become the woman with the most top 10s under her own name.
Ora first entered the region in 2012, a year that would turn out to be massive for her. In 2012 alone, she landed two No. 1 hits with her name in front (“How We Do [Party]” and “R.I.P.” with Tinie Tempah) and an additional top 10 (“Shine Ya Light”), all from her debut album Ora. Before she began running the show as a leader, she landed her first No. 1 as a featured guest on DJ Fresh’s “Hot Right Now.”
