The vocal powerhouse has more work to do to get her voice back to where it was, but this is encouraging news to the fans who have been waiting to hear her voice again.

The extra energy behind the song, and its memorable hook and catchy beats easily pushed the track and its dance remix into top 10 charts across Europe, with the single even reaching #1 on the German Pop Chart.

Shaggy, who last weekend headlined the Splash Festival in Germany, said "The fans are embracing the track everywhere we go, and it's exciting to see it at number one in Germany. It was an honor to have it be the theme song for Euro 2008 - I felt the rush."

Shaggy is also currently enjoying the a high place on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart for a collaboration with R&B artist Qwote, titled Don't Wanna Fight. His album Intoxication (Big Yard/VP) was released back in November and has maintained a strong presence on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart, peaking at #1.
