Almost eight years after its release, Wine Pon You is still paying dividends for Konshens. The Doja Cat-assisted track has officially gone Gold in Canada, marking the dancehall star’s first-ever certification in the country and underlining the song’s impressive longevity on the global stage. Certified by Music Canada on January 19, 2026, the achievement reflects sales and streaming equivalents surpassing 40,000 units, arriving as Konshens remains firmly in album mode following the release of his fifth studio project, Pool Party, last summer.
Released in 2018, Wine Pon You appeared as the fourth track on Doja Cat’s debut studio album, Amala, and stands as the only guest feature on that cut of the 13-track set. Produced by Yeti Beats and Troy Nōka, the breezy, flirtatious single quietly grew into a cross-cultural hit, resonating well beyond dancehall’s core audience. Its steady rise has been fuelled by streaming platforms, where the song has amassed over 357 million plays on Spotify and more than 72 million views on YouTube.
For Konshens, the Canadian Gold certification highlights the enduring power of dancehall records in the digital era, where songs can find new life years after their initial release. The milestone also adds to his growing list of international achievements, reinforcing his reputation as one of Jamaica’s most globally adaptable artists, capable of bridging Caribbean rhythms with mainstream pop appeal.
Meanwhile, Pool Party continues to frame the current chapter of Konshens’ career. The genre-blending album features a diverse cast including The Game, Skillibeng, Charly Blacks and Eric Bellinger, and reflects a more carefree yet focused creative direction. With Wine Pon You now officially certified in Canada, Konshens’ catalogue is once again proving its staying power, hinting that even more global milestones may still be on the horizon.
