Jay Sean Makes History…. Twice!!

British singer Jay Sean has taken over the US number one spot, removing Black Eyed Peas off the top spot.

After a mind blowing 26 weeks at the top of the US charts with ‘Boom Boom Pow‘ and ‘I Gotta Feeling’, Jay Sean new single ‘Down’ featuring Lil Wayne, shot to the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 after selling 1.5 million downloads in total.

"It's just incredible to have reached number one with my first release in America," the 27-year-old said.

The 27-year-old West London R&B singer & Songwriter who was originally signed to Virgin records and then Jaydad (his own record label)/2point9 Records, quit all labels as he felt they were making him sound too popish for his liking.

Sean goes on to express how he feels: "It's difficult for me to put into words, my head is spinning. I've been grinding hard for the last seven years releasing records independently and now to have the biggest record in the USA this week, it's just a dream come true."

In 2008, Jay Sean appeared at the Mobos and announced that he was signed to Cash Money records, which is home to Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Baby/Birdman and very recently Bow Wow. “Ride It” singer has made history again by becoming the first ever British Asian to be signed to a US record label….Go On Son!!!

Leona Lewis topped the US charts with her song Bleeding Love last year, while Soul II Soul, Mark Morrison, Floetry, Craig David, MIA and Estelle have broken into the top 10 in the past.
