Popcaan earns his 1st Billboard Hot 100 entry
...with Drake-assisted Amazing Shape
Dancehall artiste Popcaan and Canadian rapper Drake have collaborated on multiple songs.
Their latest collaboration, Amazing Shape, which is featured on Drake’s Maid of Honour album, débuts at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This marks Popcaan’s first entry on the all-genre tally, which ranks the most popular songs in America.
Popcaan spoke exclusively to the Jamaica Observer on Tuesday sharing his thoughts on this milestone accomplishment.
“God is good, give thanks for the blessing,” said the Unruly Boss, who spoke about the musical chemistry working with Drake. “The chemistry is undefeated, so whatever we do a straight banger.”
Amazing Shape contains elements of the Beenie Man hit Who Am I (Sim Simma), a Billboard hit from 1998.
The Maid of Honour album, which sold 110,000 album equivalent units in the United States in its first week, also features the song New Bestie, produced by Montego Bay-based producer Mxssivh.
Maid of Honour has so far charted at #6 in the United Kingdom, and has made the top 10 in Austria, Australia, Lithuania, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Sweden.
Popcaan and Drake previously collaborated on We Caa Done, which peaked at #37 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart in 2023, while Twist & Turn featuring Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR topped out at #30 on Rhythmic Airplay, #26 on Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop chart, and #36 on R&B/Hip Hop Airplay in 2020.
Popcaan has new music on the way. On Monday, he premièred a new track titled Goodas Anthem.
