Popcaan hot on

-

FOR the first time in five years, Popcaan has entered an urban chart in the United States. Twist And Turn, a track from his album Fixtape, debuts at number 38 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Songs Chart.

The song features Drake and PARTYNEXTD­OOR. Popcaan’s last entry on an American mainstream chart was in 2015 with I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times) which was credited to him, Jamie XX featuring Young Thug. That song peaked at number 35 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&b/hip-hop Chart.

On the Official UK Singles Chart, Over by singer Jorja Smith featuring Popcaan enters at number 35.

Popcaan now has seven entries on the UK pop chart. This is his highest charting single in the United Kingdom since For Breakfast with Melissa Steel peaked at number 10 in 2014.

The self-proclaimed Unruly Boss previously charted in the United Kingdom with Control (with Alunageorg­e) which got to number 39 in 2016; Should’ve Been Me by Naughty Boy featuring Kyla and Popcaan (number 61 in 2016); Saturnz Barz by Gorillaz featuring Popcaan (number 87 in 2017); 2 Cups featuring Lizzy/tory Lanez/fredro (number 55 in 2019); and Twist and Turn (with Drake and PARTYNEXTD­OOR) which rose to number 69 in August.

The last Jamaican to chart higher than Popcaan was Koffee. Her collaborat­ion, Repeat, with British singer/ rapper J Hus, went number 21 in February.
