"Down" is a song by British artist Jay Sean. The song was released in North America as his debut single from his debut album there, All or Nothing. In other markets, including the UK, the song serves as Jay Sean’s lead single from what will be his third studio album there. The single features American rapper and label mate Lil Wayne and is produced by J-Remy and Bobby Bass. "Down" is the seventh-best selling single of 2009, having sold more than three million digital copies in the United States alone, and has been certified Platinum in several countries. In addition, the song rose in airplay to over 115 million listener impressions on US radio. "Down" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the issue dated October 17, 2009, knocking The Black Eyed Peas off the top of the chart after their 26 week reign at #1. This made Jay Sean the first British act to score a Billboard Hot 100 number-one single since Coldplay’s "Viva la Vida" in 2008, and the fourth British act overall this decade. The song has also made him "the first UK Urban act ever to top Billboard’s Hot 100", the ninth (second British) male solo performer to top the US charts with his debut single in the US, and the first British act to have reached #1 in the US and not in the UK with a song since Seal’s "Kiss From A Rose" in 1995.
