Run This Town by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna and Kanye West was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, September 12, 2009 spending 1 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. This was the first time Jay-Z had a UK #1 with one of his own records rather than being a guest on somebody else's. West originally argued against Jay-Z releasing this as a single. When the song was played at a barbecue hosted by the DJ Enuff led DJ collective, the Heavy Hitters, such was the reaction to the record, he was convinced it wouldn't be a hit. This samples the electric guitar loop from "Someday in Athens" by the '70s Greek band, The Four Levels of Existence.
