Konshens and Sean paul climb the Billboard Digital Releases Singles Chart
Fresh from their recent performance on the top-rated Arsenio Hall Show on WPIX, Konshens and Sean Paul are making moves on the Billboard Digital Reggae Singles chart.
Their collaborative effort Want Dem All jumps from #25 to land at #15 on this week’s Billboard chart. Since its digital release, the single has to date sold more than 10,000 copies.
Konshens is quite upbeat about the progress of the song and its reception from fans. “It’s a great body of music and I’m singing alongside one of our country’s icons. I’ll let you guess how I feel about it,” Konshens said in a release.
Asked how the idea for the collaboration came about, Konshens explained. “Yow, big up, Sean Paul. I think his label wanted someone else to be on it, but he wanted the hottest thing from Jamaica on it and he went all out to get it done. I’m very grateful for the opportunity,” he said.
Having appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show alongside Sean Paul, Konshens says there are promotional plans for the song of which he will be a part. “Yeah man, we have a number of promos plans that I’m very excited about. The energy from Sean and his team is great. Mi love dem vibe,” said Konshens.
Want Dem All debuted at #25 on the weekly South Florida Reggae chart. It is at #28 in its second week on the New York Reggae Chart.
Konshens is also charting on the South Florida Reggae chart with To Her With Love (They Say). The song was produced by Notice Production. It is #6 on the chart. Over on the New York Reggae chart, it sits comfortably at #2 for a second week.
Konshens has a number of projects in the pipeline including his forthcoming studio album Hotel Room. There’s also the Feenin riddim project being released from his Subkonshus label which features Darrio, Delus, Javada and ‘Massicka’, among others.
Neither Konshens nor Miguel Noblen (Subkonshus Music general manager) are yet to say anything about the affiliation between the label and Massicka. Inside sources have revealed, however, that the artiste has been among the team for the past two months. Incidentally, other new artistes were recently signed to Konshens’ Subkonshus Music label.
