Island-Pop star Conkarah is quickly proving a worldwide summer sensation with his breakthrough hit single, “Banana (feat. Shaggy) [DJ Fle – Minisiren Remix],” available now via S-Curve Records/BMG at all DSPs and streaming services. A playful take on the traditional Jamaican folk song, “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song),” the track – featuring Conkarah’s fellow Jamaican, 2x GRAMMY® Award-winner Shaggy – is joined by a brand new companion video, filmed earlier this month in Kingston, Jamaica by director Jay Will (Major Lazer, Third World) and streaming now via YouTube.
Currently climbing iTunes’ Pop Chart in 16 countries around the world, “Banana (feat. Shaggy) [DJ Fle – Minisiren Remix]” is now impacting at multi-format radio outlets across America. The track is shaping up to be among the top songs of the summer, with over 430 million total streams across an array of platforms. “Banana (feat. Shaggy) [DJ Fle – Minisiren Remix]” has fast ascended content charts around the world, rising to #5 on Shazam’s “Top 200 Global” while reaching the top 10 in 25 countries. In addition, the single recently hit #12 on Spotify’s “Global Viral 50” and #73 on the “Global Top 200.”
As if that weren’t enough, “Banana” recently ranked as the #1 Sound on TikTok, featured in over 27 million user-generated videos thus far. Indeed, the track has charted in over 20 countries, fueled in part by the hugely popular #BANANADROP dance challenge, including videos by such celebrities and top influencers as Jason Derulo, Charli D’amelio, Nicole Scherzinger, Chiara Ferragni, and Neymar.
