Spice’s Go Down Deh climbed back to No. 1 on the U.S. reggae iTunes chart on July 9, more than five years after its original release. The Sean Paul and Shaggy collaboration first came out on April 30, 2021 through VP Records.

Go Down Deh has passed 1.5 billion streams across major platforms, with more than 800 million on YouTube Music and 436 million on Spotify. It has also generated more than 47 million TikTok creations. Spice’s Apple Music artist page lists the track among her top songs, and YouTube’s official video page has hundreds of millions of views. The single has charted in more than 100 countries across Apple Music and iTunes, and it is the longest-charting reggae and dancehall single by a modern Jamaican female artiste to stay in the top 10 on those services.

The song also helped push Spice’s debut album 10 into a long tail of its own. Released by VP Records on August 6, 2021, the project was produced and executive-produced largely by Shaggy and Ranch Entertainment. It has sold more than 150,000 units, including more than 21,000 pure album sales in the United States, while also collecting more than half a billion streams. 10 was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, and Spice’s Grammy artist profile lists one nomination for the album. The RIAA’s Gold & Platinum program is the U.S. benchmark for Gold certification. Go Down Deh became the first Jamaican female lead single in more than 30 years to reach that mark in the United States.
