Zoar did not need a major-label machine to get on the UK Official Singles Chart. He needed a record, a distributor, and a week where enough people in Britain actually showed up for it.
That week is here. OfficialCharts.com now lists Zoar with “Chrome Hearted Killer.” First chart date: 3 September 2026.

Zoar is an independent trap artist releasing under his own name. Dark, melodic, short tracks. “Chrome Hearted Killer” is a minute forty, out since 22 December 2025. He has two more singles, “You” and “Swerving,” sitting next to it. The catalog is small.
The interesting part is the delay. The song was not a day-one UK chart story. It sat in the stores for months, stayed up on Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, and the rest, and then a reporting week finally put him on the Official Charts. That is the digital-release model working the slow way. Always available. No physical ship date that kills the title after week one.
Streaming dashboards will have shown the song the whole time. The Official Singles Chart only shows up once the week is strong enough to print. That public page is what a lot of the industry still uses as proof. You cannot forward someone your Spotify for Artists login. You can send them OfficialCharts.com.
Zoar now has that link. Whether the next single follows it onto the chart is the next test. For now, an independent rapper with a tight catalog just became an Official Charts artist through the same pipes every digital release uses — and this time they actually landed.
Chart listing: Zoar — “Chrome Hearted Killer”.
