Achieving a Historic Milestone

Celebrating 20 Years of The Trinity

This achievement comes as Sean Paul’s Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum album The Trinity celebrates its 20th anniversary. Released by VP Records/Atlantic Records, The Trinity cemented Sean Paul as a dominant force in the mid-2000s dancehall scene, featuring massive hits like “We Be Burnin’” and “Give It Up to Me”. The album remains one of the best-selling dancehall albums of all time.

“Love to know that 20 years later, ‘Temperature’ still strong and potent and making people feel good—that is what makes me feel good,” said Sean Paul. “Big up to everyone involved, and may the music live on.”

A Historic Achievement

With this latest accomplishment, Sean Paul joins Bob Marley and The Wailers as one of the only reggae/dancehall artists to have multiple songs surpass 1 billion streams. The Billions Club remains an elite group, with fewer than 1,000 songs worldwide reaching this milestone.
