UK Number 40s: Iyaz - So Big (2010)

 


At the start of 2010 Iyaz came from nowhere to top the charts with his Top 40 debut "Replay". He then made number 3 with follow up single "Solo". One might have said he was so big at the time, but when he released the record "So Big" it only made number 40.

His sound was described as "Reggae Fusion" which is basically pop music with a reggae sound to it. With this record though it was more electropop with a reggae sound to it. This was the trend at the time and everyone seemed to be making electropop records of some description.

This was more or less it for his Top 40 career. His only other Top 40 hit came the following year as featured artist on "The Mack" with Mann and Snoop Dogg.
