YouTube’s Weekly Chart Reflecting Jamaica’s Choices For ‘Songs Of The Summer”

YouTube continues to be the measuring stick for Jamaican music and V6 by Ireland Boss and Malie Don is enjoying a 7 weeks streak at the summit of the YouTube weekly chart in Jamaica according to data pulled by WMV from All access. The Danmatic Vizualz directed music video is a hot contender for song of the summer with over 1.9 million streams since its release just over a month ago (April 4, 2023). The song released by Ireland Records accumulated just over 600,000 views this week, which is 27,000 less than last week’s total.

Speaking exclusively with WMV about the production of the chart topper Ireland Boss said,

“I made the connection with Malie Donn through Ranni Rastaciti and sent the beat from October 2022 and received the recording session in February 2023. I then mixed and mastered the track at Ireland recording studio in one day. My engineer for mixing and mastering is David Archer more (popularly know as Diddy Frass) and the song was released February 15 2023.”
He said the beat was originally created for Nvasion “Surgeon” back in 2022 the beat was created by my engineer and artiste Ricardo Campbell more popularly known as wai fuzion. He said he said he shared a few beats with Malie Donn and he chose that beat from a pool.

At a close second this week is the turntable hit “Drift” by Teejay which earned just under 600,000 views this week and moving up three spots. The St. James dancehall deejay’s debut album is set to drop later this year according to a release. The  album will have 11 tracks with featured production and collaborations from top Level production with ‘Shaggy’, ‘Dexter Daps’, ‘Chronic Law’, ‘Skillibeng’ and ‘Afro B’. The title track “From Rags to Riches” has surpassed 60 million views on YouTube.
