I-Octane 1st dancehall/ reggae artiste to hit #1 on iTunes Top 200 all genres music video chart

I-Octane 1st dancehall/ reggae artiste to hit #1 on iTunes Top 200 all genres music video chart

For fast-rising record label Rhome Records accomplishing musical milestones that align with the aspirations of his brand has always been a primary focus.

Since releasing Money Prayer by Billboard recording artists I-Octane, the the label has seen much success with their latest triumph making global music news after I-Octane secured the spot of being the first dancehall artiste to top the iTunes Top 200 All Genre Music Video Charts while dethroning Bad Bunny’s viral Superbowl Half-time Show.

Money Prayer was released on January 9 and immediately rose to the #2 spot on the Reggae Charts in St Kitts, made its way to the top 10 on the US iTunes charts, while securing a #11 Global Reggae placement, subsequently leading to its current success of dominating the All Genre charts to create history.

Speaking with I-Octane, he shares what the accomplishment means to him: “The persistence of the producer was one of the main reasons I decided to record for him and to see the track breaking records is truly a blessing for everyone. This song has created an opportunity for both myself and the producer to bask in the success of what good music backed by strategic marketing can do. This accomplishment is for the entire Jamaican music fraternity as well because this is a title that has never been claimed and I am grateful that listeners and curators recognise and are able to highlight the hard work artistes and producers continue to put in.”

For RhomeDaDon, this marks the beginning of many chart-topping projects that he plans to push to the forefront of the industry moving forward.

“There are barely enough words to express the high level of gratification I feel toward this project and its accomplishments. I knew it was a hit song but the growth of its reach has surpassed my expectations and the opportunities it has granted me seems surreal. I am thankful to everyone that continues to play a part in the continued success of the track and with the promotional campaign still in its early stages, we are poised and ready to see how much further the reach of the track can extend,” he said.

In addition to its growing commercial success, Money Prayer reflects a broader cultural soundscape by captivating demographics worldwide, demanding engagement through its relatability while influencing trends and inspiring its listeners.

As the track continues to claim its place it sets a new standard for future Rhome Records productions and endeavours. The success of
Money Prayer is an attestation that with the right combination of talent, innovation, hard work, and audience connection, artistes can create music that resonates on a global scale while showcasing that up and coming producers can also make an impact with solid productions.
