News: Sean Paul tops Reggae charts with Trinity

"The Trinity (VP/Atlantic), the latest offering from Sean Paul, has topped the Reggae charts, selling over 107,000 in its first week. This makes it the highest ever reggae debut and single week sales for a reggae artist in SoundScan history.

Sean Paul, who brought massive mainstream attention to Jamaica's dancehall in 2002, returns to the fore in a big way, with this week's number seven on the Billboard 200, number four on R&B chart, and, of course, number one on the Reggae chart. The record-breaking sales gives Sean Paul his highest chart position to date.

The success of Sean Paul's latest release has ended Junior Gong's reign in the number one spot, as just a week ago, Damian Marley's Welcome To Jamrock sold 86,000 copies in its first week. It was, at that time, the biggest debut for a reggae release since Nielsen SoundScan starting collating data in 1991."
