Shenseea earns fifth Billboard Rhythmic Airplay entry with Echo

Shenseea picked up another U.S. radio marker as Echo, her collaboration with Daddy Yankee for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Official Album, debuted at No. 36 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart for the week of May 30. The placement gives her a fifth entry on the tally and extends a crossover run that has outgrown one-off buzz.

The timing matters. Echo was released on April 28, so the song reached the chart after a few weeks of circulation rather than on day one, a sign that it has been building momentum with rhythmic programmers. That chart is a meaningful lane for Shenseea because it measures airplay on U.S. rhythmic radio stations, where hit-driven R&B, hip-hop, rhythmic pop and some dance records live side by side. For a Jamaican dancehall artist working with a reggaeton giant, that is exactly the sort of crossover space that can turn a collaboration into a radio presence.

Her path on the chart has been steady. Previous entries have included Blessed with Tyga, R U That with 21 Savage, Work Me Out with Wizkid, and Shake It to the Max (Fly) remix with MOLIY, Skillibeng and Silent Addy, which reached No. 1 on the chart dated Aug. 2, 2025. That stretch shows Shenseea moving from feature spot curiosity to a dependable rhythmic-radio name.

The FIFA connection raises the ceiling even higher. FIFA has positioned Echo as the third single from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album, following Lighter and Por Ella, as part of a larger rollout tied to the tournament that will be hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States. Pairing Shenseea with Daddy Yankee and producer Tainy gives the record reach across Caribbean, Latin and pop audiences at the same time.

uDiscover Music reported that Echo was issued via SALXCO UAM and Def Jam Recordings, co-produced and executive produced by Tainy, and built around a sample of Ibrahim Maalouf’s Red & Black Light, with additional production from Maalouf, Massari, Adium, Jota Rosa and Albert Hype. The song’s visual framing leans on hope, teamwork and perseverance, which fits the scale of the campaign surrounding it.

For Shenseea, the No. 36 debut is another sign that her name travels well beyond Jamaica. With Echo now on Billboard’s rhythmic map and the World Cup spotlight ahead, her run looks less like a spike and more like a lane she has already learned how to hold.
