GENER8ION scored its first UK Top 40 hit on 9 October 2026, when STORM II reached number 37 on the Official Singles Chart. The collaboration with Yung Lean climbed 36 places from number 73 in the chart week running from 9 to 15 October 2026.
STORM II reached number 37 in the UK chart
The 9 October chart lists STORM II at number 37 for the week of 9 to 15 October 2026. The listing credits the track to GENER8ION and Yung Lean, placing the collaboration inside the UK Top 40. Official Charts compiles the list from audio and video streams, downloads, CDs and vinyl.
That position followed a 36-place rise from number 73 and marks the song’s second week on the list. Official Charts describes the result as the first Top 40 hit for both GENER8ION and Yung Lean. For GENER8ION, it is the project’s first UK Top 40 hit.
The French project behind STORM II
GENER8ION is the project of French producer Surkin and filmmaker Romain Gavras. A Billboard profile identifies Surkin as the artist behind the act and links STORM II to Yung Lean. That pairing brings the producer’s electronic work together with Yung Lean’s vocal contribution.
The project also works across music and moving image, rather than treating a single as an isolated release. An Art Basel presentation places its music, film and visual design in the same frame. Its full-length album Love & Tears includes collaborations with 070 Shake, Adèle Castillon and Yannis Philippakis of Foals.
STORM II extends GENER8ION’s UK chart run
The move from number 73 to number 37 gives the track a clear second-week advance. It also brings an electronic collaboration into the same national list as pop, rap and dance releases. Because the Official Singles Chart covers several listening and purchase formats, the result records more than one route into the list.
The chart’s movement and the project’s audiovisual identity meet in one result: a Yung Lean collaboration has carried GENER8ION into a UK Top 40 position. The published record shows STORM II at number 37, after a 36-place climb, with two weeks listed.
