Dancehall star Valiant has officially surpassed 600 million total views on YouTube across his catalogue, marking another major milestone in his fast-rising career.

His most-viewed single, “Dunce Cheque,” leads with over 43 million views, followed closely by “Narcissist” featuring Stalk Ashley with more than 42 million. Breakout tracks “North Carolina” (38 million) and “St. Mary” with over30+ million, continue to rank among his strongest-performing releases.

His crossover hit “Passenger Princess,” which was produced by Rvssian, has now surpassed 32 million views, further cementing his reach beyond core dancehall audiences. Additional tracks such as “Bubble Gum” (24 million), “Mad Out” (20 million), and “Barbie’s” (19 million) reinforcing his ability to consistently deliver hits while building a strong and loyal fanbase.

Based on industry estimates, 600 million YouTube views can generate approximately $300,000 to $700,000 USD, depending on splits with labels, producers, and distribution deals. Valiant has also surpassed 150 million total streams on Spotify, his growing digital footprint.

The Red Hills-born artist now appears to be entering album mode. In a series of recent posts on X, the singjay hinted at a new project, writing “Album mode” while asking fans for title suggestions. He floated ideas like “Princess Treatment,” adding, “I know it’s for my ladies,” and later tweeting, “Ladies, this album is for you,” sparking early anticipation. While there has been no official confirmation, sources close to the artist indicate that a new album is in the works.

The upcoming release would mark his sophomore album, following his 2025 debut Prove Them Wrong, which earned Grammy consideration and served as his first full-length project under Sony Music UK. Prior to that, his 2023 4:14 mixtape helped solidify his breakout run after gaining traction in late 2022.

After completing his “Passenger Princess” North American tour, named after his smash hit, Valiant continues to strengthen his position as one of the leading voices in dancehall’s new generation, steadily expanding his global presence while pushing the genre forward.
