Tessanne, Sizzla hit Billboard

Tessanne

Tessanne Chin scored her first Billboard entry since 2014, with the ballad Love Suicide which debuts at No. 30 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart.

Love Suicide, released on Chin’s Chinita Entertainment label, is the first song by a Jamaican artist to make that Billboard list.

It was written by Blu Jane, whose credits include songs by Rihanna, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande.

Chin charted three times on Billboard charts between 2013 and 2014. Her cover of Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing reached No. 51 on the Hot 100 chart, while her reworking of Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water stalled at No. 64. Her take on The Beatles’ Let It Be peaked at No. 76.
