|
On September 27, 2005, Henriques released his third album called The Trinity. So far he has released four singles from the album: "We Be Burnin'," "Ever Blazin'," "Never Gonna Be the Same" and the #1 hit "Temperature."
The Trinity (VP/Atlantic), has been certified platinum by the RIAA for U.S. sales of over 1 million units. The album current smash single, "Temperature," held the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart for four consecutive weeks. The album's first single, "We Be Burnin'," was recently certified as an RIAA double platinum digital single. "Give It Up To Me," the third single from The Trinity, has just been released. On the heels of his latest platinum certification, Sean Paul is gearing up for a fantastic summer - in addition to an extensive 4-week European tour, Sean will perform at MTV's Beach House on May 31st and at NYC's Hot 97 Summer Jam, the largest one-day hip-hop festival in the country.
Sean Paul's The Trinity is currently in its 33rd week on the national charts, including its 20th week at #1 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart. The album has also been a huge hit around the world, selling over 1.2 million copies overseas. It is certified platinum in Canada, France, and the Gulf States, and gold in Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Switzerland, Japan, and the United Kingdom, with as many as four singles heating up in these territories.
The newest single to hit the international airwaves will be "Never Be The Same."
Currently, Sean Paul is working on his yet-to-be-titled fourth album which is heading for a 4Q 2006 release date. The first single "Break It Off (High Altitude riddim - Don Corleon)" featuring Rihanna (which also appears on her "A Girl Like Me" album) will hit radios early July. This title is part of a 'riddim set' (a set of artists that are singing on the same rythmic base (version also called riddim in Jamaican slang)) as all Jamaican producers use to edit.
