ECNETNews, February 26, 2025: Dancehall icon Sean Paul has reached a remarkable milestone as his 2005 hit “Temperature” now boasts over 1 billion streams on Spotify. This achievement marks his second song to enter the esteemed Billions Club, following “No Lie” featuring Dua Lipa.
This milestone coincides with the 20th anniversary of Sean Paul’s Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum album The Trinity. Released by VP Records/Atlantic Records, The Trinity solidified Sean Paul’s status as a leading figure in the mid-2000s dancehall era, featuring iconic tracks such as “We Be Burnin’” and “Give It Up to Me.” The album is recognized as one of the best-selling dancehall albums of all time.
“It feels amazing to know that 20 years later, ‘Temperature’ remains strong and continues to bring joy to listeners,” expressed Sean Paul. “A big thank you to everyone involved, and may the music endure.”
With this latest achievement, Sean Paul joins reggae legends like Bob Marley and The Wailers as one of the few reggae/dancehall artists with multiple songs surpassing 1 billion streams. The Billions Club is an exclusive group, with fewer than 1,000 songs globally reaching this significant milestone.
As dancehall continues to shape the global music landscape, Sean Paul stands out as one of the genre’s foremost ambassadors, demonstrating that timeless hits can still set records decades later.
