This big one got even busier than, um, Get Busy. With 504,000 combined sales, including 23.7 million streams, it's his tenth biggest single overall. Despite its huge success, reaching Number 4, Get Busy only stuck around in the Top 40 for six weeks (five of those in the Top 10). The dancehall track's success was helped by that distinctive beat that sounds like really fast clapping – known as the "Diwali Riddim", fact fans – that was a huge sound in the early Noughties, and behind many other big hits. Gimme the Light was his first hit, but Get Busy really made the world sit up and take notice. It's perhaps been since eclipsed by the bigger hits in his repertoire, but still sneaks into his Top 20 at 20 with 187,000 combined sales.

Step forward Sean Paul!īut Jamaican rapper/singer/producer/megastar Sean Paul is much more than a cameo – he's had plenty of hits all by himself too. Long before Pitbull was a twinkle in J-Lo's eye, there was only one guy you could rely on to add a banging feature to your wannabe hit single.
