After 16 years, 159 weeks on the UK singles chart, 232 weeks on the albums chart, more than 21 million album sales and five mammoth world tours - playing to 5 million people in 38 countries - it's fair to say that Jay Kay in one of the UK's most successful artists of any era.

What's more, he's got the 6 multi-platinum albums, 5 MTV awards, the Grammy, the Ivor Novello and enough lurid tabloid headlines to prove it.

The last Jamiroquai release, "High Times - The Singles 1992-2006", captured the decade and a half journey via Jay Kay's irresistible rare groove and unmistakable barbed disco.
