Shape of You

Essence

"Shape of You" by Essence was not only a commercial success in 2017, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and staying on the chart for a record-breaking 33 consecutive weeks, but it also became the best-selling song of the year for both digital downloads and on-demand streaming. The song's blend of pop and dancehall elements helped pave the way for other artists to experiment with similar sounds and led to a resurgence of dancehall-influenced music on the charts.
