'WHAT'S LOVE?' & 'CERTIFIED' READY TO CLIMB THE CHARTS
Akon & Shaggy on set of the 'What's Love?' video shoot with director Hype Williams.Shaggy’s Intoxication blasted onto the Billboard Reggae Chart at #1 when it hit shelves in November, and now it’s heating up as he teams up with hip-hop mastermind Akon on his next single. The two swapped sound booths for studios at the recent video shoot in Miami’s famed South Beach.
Shaggy unleashes all the elements his fans expect on “What’s Love” - a proven and familiar formula that sees his macho hardcore chatting, fused with Akon’s flowing R&B hooks, riding a catchy hip-hop beat.
Shaggy hauled in the genius of Hype Williams to bring this track to life, and it will hit airwaves within the next few days.

BILLBOARD NAMES AKON 2007 ARTIST OF THE YEAR
You see that tracklist below... BOSSThe singer's "Konvicted" album (Konvict/Upfront/SRC/Universal Motown/UMRG), released in November 2006, may not have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, but its sturdy performance aided Akon's rise to the top of the pop heap.
"Konvicted" spent its first 30 weeks lodged in the top 30 of the Billboard 200 after its bow at No. 2. While Akon ends the year at No. 1 on the Top Artists recap, "Konvicted" ranks just behind Daughtry's self-titled album at the peak of the Top Billboard 200 tally.
Akon is also a heavyweight on the year-end Billboard Hot 100 Songs recap, where he earns six rungs on the tally: as a guest on Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" (No. 3), T-Pain's "Bartender" (No. 33) and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "I Tried" (No. 58), and with three of his own songs: "I Wanna Love You" (No. 8, featuring Snoop Dogg), "Don't Matter" (No. 11) and "Smack That" (No. 15, featuring Eminem).
It's a feat for one artist to place three singles on the year-end Hot 100 chart. It's another ballgame entirely when you can snag four (Timbaland), six (Akon) or seven (Timberlake and T-Pain). All told, if we add up the number of singles those four men racked up on the Hot 100 Songs recap, they own a whopping 21 titles, including hits with shared credit.
