Sean Kingston

Will Sean Kingston ever top his chart-smashing 2007 single? It rocketed to number 1 on the US Billboard 100, and spring boarded the Jamaican singer into the pop stratosphere for a period of time.

It’s an incredibly simple track, but Kingston proves how important he is to the success of the melody in the video, where he intro’s the song by singing the hook acapella. Even without the playful bass line and jazzy groove, Kingston is catchy and memorable. Despite the mentions of suicide in the hook, it doesn’t appear to have a dark undertone. It’s a sunny song with Kingston lamenting his inability to recover from women ending their relationship with him.

In terms of one hit wonders, Kingston almost enters in a league of his own. The song reached number 1 in 7 countries, and it sold a staggering 2 million ringtones in the US alone.
