International dancehall star Sean Paul continues to reap success for his work in 2016, with the recent announcement of his second Teen Choice Awards nomination. His collaboration – Clean Bandit’s hit single, Rockabye, (which also featured Anne-Marie), earned the artist a nomination in the category of Choice Electronic/Dance Song.
Sean Paul also nabbed a Teen Choice Award nomination for Choice Party Song with Sia’s Cheap Thrills.
Rockabye, details the hardships of single mothers, which the artiste says is a topic he is passionate about, having grown up in a single-parent home while his father served prison time. The single was released on October 21, 2016 and entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 7 after one week. The following week, it climbed to No. 3, before high performance in streaming pushed it to No. 1 in its third week. It charted platinum on most charts across the world and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts.
