Chase & Status have had three number one tracks on the UK Dance Chart in 2007 with the double A-side "Hurt You"/"Sell Me Your Soul", and in 2008 with "Take Me Away"/"Judgement (Informer)". On 5 October 2008, they reached number 70 on the national singles chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart again with their single "Pieces" featuring vocals by Plan B. In 2009, they made number 45 with "Against All Odds" which featured UK rapper Kano.
Chase & Status' first album, More Than Alot, debuted in the UK album charts at number 49 on 19 October 2008 and entered the UK dance album chart at number 2.
Their album More Than Alot received the Best Album Award at the 2009 Drum and Bass awards, Birmingham, UK.

Following the success of their last album the band wanted to gain a more global success. After meeting with a long time favourite of theirs, Cloud9, they decided to move in a different direction. Together they agreed that the band should do more pop collaborations in order to achieve a more mainstream fanbase. Soon afterwards they quickly began working on the album. On 8 November 2009, the duo entered the UK Top 40 for the first time with the track "End Credits". The track was released on 2 November 2009 and featuring British musician Plan B managed to reach a peak of number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was written for the movie Harry Brown, which also starred Ben Drew, aka. Plan B.

The duo then released "Let You Go" on 15 August 2010, revealing it to be the second official single to be released from their second studio album, named No More Idols according to posters outside their album launch show at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town on October 21. The single featured vocals from Mali and debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 11; marking the duo's second consecutive Top 40 hit. "Hypest Hype" featuring Tempa T was confirmed in October 2010 to be the third single from the album and was released as a free download from their website on 8 November 2010; meaning it did not qualify to chart. The fourth single from the album is the dubstep-flavoured Blind Faith, which features Nottingham-born soul singer/songwriter Liam Bailey - it was released on 31 January 2011. The new anticipated album also contains a new single 'Heavy' with Dizzee Rascal.

They have also created a remix version of "Invaders Must Die" for The Prodigy. The remix reached 53 in the Australian Aria Singles Chart and 7 in the Aria Dance Chart. They have also produced for Bajan singer Rihanna, on her fourth album Rated R as well as for British singer Alexandra Burke's album Overcome.

Line by Line Meaning

Now show me blood pressure high
I want to see the intensity and energy in the room at its highest level

Me a not talking
I may not be speaking, but my presence is felt

Me (?)
I am unknown and mysterious, leaving the listener curious about me

Me walk with me (?) keep me from flight
Join me and I'll protect you and keep you grounded, preventing you from running away

And if it's the crook, I'm the evil boy cry
If there's trouble, I'll be the one to take charge and handle it

Everybody send me mud, you know that I'm no lie
People often criticize me, but they know I always speak the truth

Me shut you from me, are you dating that July
I'm purposely ignoring you, and questioning your relationship status in a mocking way

This a the real thing, no, this is no sci-fi
This is genuine and authentic, it's not a fictional story

Me gonna be done it and if you got wi-fi
I will achieve my goals, and if you're connected to the internet, you'll hear all about it

Me gonna go
I'm ready to leave and make moves

Show me blood, show me blood, show me blood
I want to see passion and energy

Pressure high
There's intense energy and pressure in the room
