‘Mr. Boombastic’ himself, Shaggy, is sitting pretty at the top of the charts in Europe with his single Feel The Rush, which was picked by UEFA organizers to be the official theme song for the European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008.
On his European Intoxication album tour this summer, UEFA organizers tapped into Shaggy's star power to entertain the VIPs at the opening game and the Euro 2008 Championship match. 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.
