Music By Numbers: Tinie Tempah

Clara Amfo and mathematician Dr Hannah Fry use numbers to explore Tinie Tempah's career. How much did his first music video cost and what about a special pair of trainers?

Clara Amfo and mathematician Dr Hannah Fry use numbers to explore Tinie Tempah's career, calculating the maths behind the music to discover how his success adds up.

Like how much did his first music video cost? How long does it take to make an album? And how many thousands of dollars did Tinie pay for a particularly special pair of trainers?

The number experts at The Official Charts Company take us through the hits that have made him the artist with the most UK number ones this decade. We also hear from the man Tinie calls his mentor, sound engineer Richie Montana, who takes us through the stats from the very beginning, all the way up to Tinie's new album 'Youth'.
