One name on everyone’s lips these days has to be RnB star Jay Sean. Earlier we told you about Jay’s sexxxy single ‘Ride It’ hitting all major mainstream UK radio stations in full force, and now the equally smokin’ video has earned Jay a first for any South Asian artist ever!

The video has been on the UK’s popular MTV Base Top Ten Countdown show for a few weeks now, but just last night it became the #1 video beating out artists like 50 Cent, Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco, Soulja Boy and Omarion!! Talk about MAJOR mainstream exposure... that’s massive as Jay is the FIRST and ONLY Desi artist to do so. Even Jay himself didn’t know about it until a friend called to congratulate him.

“For me being at the number 1 spot is still pretty strange... It’s like, oh my god this Indian dude got to the top spot. It’s an amazing feeling,” said Jay. He can definitely give himself a much deserved pat on the back as this is massive news, yet throughout all his success Jay has remained true to his Desi culture... “It goes to show music crosses boundaries, it’s a universal language,” says Jay. “It feels good to rep my peoples, to know I’ve done them proud.”

There’s no doubt in our minds that Jay has definitely gave Desi’s something to be proud of! With the single officially releasing on Monday January 21st and the album following soon after, Jay is set to storm the music industry! Be sure to check back on Monday as ‘Ride It’ will hit the Desi Hits! iTunes store so you can cop it and get Jay to the top of the music charts as well!
