AFTER a decade-long relationship that produced a string of hit
singles and two platinum albums, Atlantic Records has parted ways with deejay
Sean Paul.
Rumours that the label had dropped the Grammy-winning artiste have
made the rounds in recent weeks. Craig Kallman, chairman and CEO of Atlantic
Records, confirmed the split via email on the weekend.
Asked by the Jamaica Observer if Sean Paul was still with the
label, Kallman responded: "No longer." He did not elaborate about
what caused the split.
Sean Paul signed with Atlantic Records in a joint deal with the
independent VP Records in late 2002 following the success of his song Gimme the
Light.
Atlantic released the deejay's major label debut album, Dutty
Rock, in November that year. It scored five Top 10 United Kingdom singles and
five Top 15 Billboard Hot 100 hits, including Gimme the Light, Baby Boy (with
Beyonce), Like Glue, Get Busy, and I'm Still in Love With You (featuring
Sasha).
Dutty Rock opened with first-week sales of 65,000 copies and
peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200. In the UK, it debuted at number two
and has sold over six million copies worldwide.
The follow-up album, The Trinity, was released in September, 2005
and set a record for first-week sales by a Jamaican reggae act in the US with
107,000 copies. It debuted at number six on the UK Album chart and number six
on the Billboard 200 Album chart.
The Trinity has US sales of 1.3 million copies and worldwide sales
of over 4.3 million.
Imperial Blaze, Sean Paul's third album did not do as well in the
US although it was certified gold in France. In the US, it hit number one on
Billboard's Rap Album and Reggae Album charts and peaked at number 12 on the
Billboard 200 and number three on the R&B/Hip Hop album chart.
His next album, Tomahawk Technique, was released in January 2012,
reaching number two on the Billboard Reggae Album chart and number 30 on the UK
Album chart. It went gold in Switzerland where it sold over 20,000 copies.
Full Frequency, Sean Paul's latest album, was released in
February.
