"Not Many" is a hip hop single by New Zealand rapper Scribe, taken from his debut album, The Crusader. It was released as a double A-side with "Stand Up".
"Not Many" was written by Scribe and P-Money. Chip Matthews performed bass and P-Money produced the track. It was recorded by Chris Macro and mixed by Chris Chetland and P-Money at Kog Transmissions. According to P-Money, "Not Many" was recorded and mixed in less than six hours.
A remix was released, titled "Not Many – The Remix!", featuring Savage and Con Psy. The remix went to number two on the New Zealand Singles Chart for two weeks, then slipped out of the chart. It also appeared on the Australian Singles Chart for twenty-eight weeks, peaking at number twenty-one. In Australia, the remix was certified gold.
"Not Many" won the APRA Silver Scroll, an award for songwriting, at the 2004 ceremony. One of the judges said, "The winner was a stand-out, from the killer opening bars to the brattish bravado of the chorus." At the 2004 New Zealand Music Awards, "Not Many - The Remix!" won the Songwriter of the Year award.
The song entered the New Zealand Singles Chart at number five, later peaking at the top spot. It spent a total of twelve weeks at number one, and became the top single of 2003. During its run at number one, The Crusader was released, and debuted at number one on the New Zealand Albums Chart. This was the first time in the charts' histories that a New Zealand artist simultaneously topped the singles and albums chart. In its tenth charting week, it was certified platinum. It has since been certified double platinum, and sold over 20,000 copies.
