Jamaican superstar Shenseea has built a massive crossover career since her breakout in 2016, and she has now reached another major milestone just days before turning 30.
The dancehall star has officially surpassed 1.5 billion views on her YouTube channel, becoming the first Jamaican female artiste to reach the mark and moving further ahead of Spice, whose channel has accumulated more than 1.3 billion views.
The milestone comes as Shenseea continues to make headlines with her recent personal track “Vulnerability,” but her rise began back in 2016 with her breakout collaboration “Loodi” featuring Vybz Kartel, which has surpassed 53 million views on YouTube to date.
Among the biggest songs on her channel is the smash hit “Hit & Run” featuring Masicka, with more than 201 million views, followed by her Tarrus Riley collaboration “Lighter” with over 137 million. “Blessed” featuring American rapper Tyga has surpassed 75 million views, while “Rebel” has accumulated more than 71 million.
Other major contributors include “The Side Chick Song” with more than 43 million views, “Love I Got for U” with over 37 million and “Waistline” with more than 36 million.
Shenseea’s overall YouTube reach is even greater when collaborations hosted outside her own channel are taken into account. Moliy’s “Shake It to the Max (Fly)” remix featuring her and Skillibeng, which recently won Song of the Year and Collaboration of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards, has amassed more than 312 million views on Moliy’s channel. “Hard Drive,” alongside Konshens and Rvssian, has also surpassed 42 million views outside her channel.
From dancehall to the U.S. mainstream, African, Latin and K-pop markets, Shenseea has steadily expanded her global footprint through international collaborations. Her Megan Thee Stallion-assisted “Lick” has garnered more than 25 million YouTube views, while she has also worked with global names including Wizkid. Her single “Echo,” featured on the World Cup soundtrack alongside Daddy Yankee, has further strengthened her reach in the Latin market and earned her a nomination for Crossover Artist of the Year at the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
Now, just days before her 30th birthday, with celebrations set to kick off Monday in Dubai, Shenseea adds another major achievement to a career that continues to push Jamaican music into new markets while cementing her status as one of the country’s biggest crossover stars.
