Even before singer, songwriter and dancer
Jason Derulo climbed the charts himself, he helped others do so by writing their hit songs. After creating songs for well-known artists such as Lil Wayne, Pitbull, Diddy, and Sean Kingston, Derulo made his breakthrough with his debut single
Whatcha Say, which made it to number 1 in the US. Since then, the singer has sold over 50 million singles which have gone over 27-times platinum, as well as exceeding a billion views on YouTube as well as streams on Spotify. He collaborated with varied artists ranging from rapper The Game and country duo Florida Georgia Line to DJ Hardwell and even Stevie Wonder. His fifth studio album
777 is due for release this year, apparently in three parts of seven songs each. The first single,
Swalla, was released last year; on it, Derulo worked together with Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign
