Chipmunk "ecstatic" over single support

Chipmunk has revealed that he is pleased with the response to his new single 'Champion'.

The singer, whose latest track features Chris Brown, admitted that he feared the song wouldn't be well-received after Brown was found guilty of assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.

"I had this fear that no-one would support it because he was on the track. That's why I'm so ecstatic that everyone has supported it and it's doing so well," he told The Sun.

"As soon as we'd finished writing the song, I thought there was no-one else who could sing the hook but Chris Brown. I love the song - it's very personal to me and him."

Discussing his forthcoming album Transition, the 'Oopsy Daisy' star also revealed that he was given helpful advice from Diddy.

"He told me I should always try and make the best possible album I can and when I'm making songs don't ever forget about the rest of the world," he explained.

"That's not in terms of being a success, but he meant to think about my music being relevant around the globe."

'Champion' in on course to top the UK singles chart this Sunday.
