NY: Grammy winning superstar Shaggy, who earlier this year was featured in a Super Bowl 55 TV commercial for Cheetos, has landed another mainstream TV ad, this time for Discover Card. The new 15 second 'Fraud Protection'TV ad features Shaggy's multi-platinum, chart-topping hit single 'It Wasn't Me', the lead song on his 2000 multi-Platinum studio album 'Hot Shot.'
Last year 'It Wasn't Me' was sampled for the song 'China,' a catchy, Spanish/reggaeton/EDM adaptation by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna & J Balvin. The Latin pop banger has amassed over 1 billion views on youtube.
The original 'It Wasn't Me' features Rickardo 'RikRok' Ducent, Shaggy's breakthrough song in the pop market. The single topped charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
In October, Shaggy's 2015 song, "I Need Your Love," featuring Mohombi, Faydee, and Costi, was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry for sales exceeding 200,000 copies. He also released a 19 song, deluxe edition of his 2020 Christmas in the Islands album.
