Cash Money/Universal Republic Newcomer Jay Sean Hits One Million Platinum Single Milestone with Smash Debut 'Down'

US Debut Album All Or Nothing In-Stores November 24th

Cash Money/Universal Republic UK singer Jay Sean has turned his silky, sultry "Down" (featuring Cash Money Icon Lil Wayne. ) into incandescent platinum, with the #1 single minted this week at the coveted 1 million mark, certified by the RIAA. The breakthrough hit has scored the year's most impressive array of milestones for a UK artist's stateside debut, the fastest rising, best performing single of 2009. Jay Sean's US debut album, All Or Nothing, will hit stores and digital/mobile destinations on November 24th.

The platinum "Down" crossed the 1 million digital singles threshold in only 2 months of release, and is currently holding down the #1 position on the Rhythmic Crossover chart for two weeks running, "Down" is also the Greatest Gainer at Rhythmic Radio (for over a month) and the Top 40 format. The alluring single has held a Top 5 Lockdown on the competitive iTunes chart for six weeks, soaring to # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, and # 4 on the Top 40 Billboard Chart. "Down" is also lighting up the video and digital domains, hitting the # 1 spot on the top urban/Hip Hop Countdown at Fuse, and scoring as Top Ten video on VH'1's popular Countdown show. The video has also become a youtube staple, snaring millions of views in multiple incarnations.

"I couldn't be more humbled and honored by my US fans who have welcomed me with such open arms," stated Jay Sean. "I began my career six years ago during a great upheaval in the industry, where a changing digital audience and new benchmarks for success made reaching this kind of milestone more challenging. Crossing the magic million mark blows me away. This is the greatest achievement of my career. I'm grateful beyond words."
