Sean Paul—Get Busy (2003)
Temperature (2006)
The most visible dancehall artist during what was easily the genre’s commercial peak, Sean Paul has more No. 1 hits than any other Jamaican artist. Dutty Paul hit No. 1 twice on his own, with “Get Busy” in May of 2003, and then again with “Temperature” which hit No. 1 for one week, on April Fool’s Day, 2005. But his biggest hit was as a featured artist on Beyonce’s “Baby Boy,” which stayed at No. 1 for an incredible nine weeks during October and November of 2003. —Jesse Serwer
