With just 5 days left before the release of her debut album, dancehall princess turned pop hopeful Shenseea has been the top trending topic on twitter since yesterday. The conversations have been around her decision to go after the pop music market as explained in her recent comments and her performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
With a temperature check on the indifferences and to find out where exactly she should host her album release party, she posted on Instagram this evening “Where should Keep my Album release party?”

Where are most of the ‘Shenyengz’ from?
According to YouTube, the biggest streaming platform in the world, Shenseea surpassed 191 million streams in the last year. Kingston is her most popular city, followed by New York, then Nairobi, then Georgetown and London
However the country where she gets the most overall streams from are the USA, followed by Jamaica, then Trinidad, the UK, and then Guyana rounds off her top five.
Based on this data and with her intention to cater to the pop audiences with Alpha, it would make sense to launch in New York USA. Some of the most streamed artist in the big apple are Bad Bunny, Drake and Kanye West.
Spotify also released data showing that Shenseea is the most streamed female artist in Jamaica over the past year.
This news has not phased Shenseea however, as she has her eyes set on conquering bigger territories in music. In what seemed like a response to the debates and criticisms on twitter, the Run Run singer posted on her Instagram Story, that she is content with the direction of her career.
“I have a dream and I work too hard to get where I am. Even if I wanted to, I can’t live my life to please anyone 😭 God has truly blessed me with so much talent to fulfill my destiny. I just can’t stop now,” the Lick singer wrote.
“If you’re no longer a fan, I’m ok with losing you 🙏🏽 I started this journey ON MY OWN. I hope I inspire others to follow their dreams NO MATTER WHAT,” she concluded.
She has been getting promotional support in the US with interviews on DSPs and billboards in Time Square. Her former manager Romiech wrapping his personal vehicles, including a Porche and a Mercedes Benz truck with the art work for Alpha. She has not done any interviews with the Jamaica or Caribbean press for the album as yet.
