This article is about the OMI song. For the St. Vincent song, see Strange Mercy.

"Cheerleader"
Song

"Cheerleader" is a song recorded by Jamaican singer OMI. The track was written and produced by OMI and C. Dillon, with additional writing by M. Bradford and R. Dillon.[1] It is a reggae fusion song.[2] "Cheerleader" was originally released in 2012 through Oufah Records. It gained popularity in OMI's home country Jamaica and to a certain extent in Hawaii.[3]

A remix of the song by German producer Felix Jaehn was released through Ultra Music on 19 May 2014. In late 2014 the remix topped the Swedish charts and later on several other European charts including the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Moreover, it peaked at number one in Australia, Canada and the United States.[4] Overall, the song has reached the top-ten in 30 countries worldwide. It has also been certified platinum in both the United Kingdom and the United States for selling over 1,000,000 copies. The single achieved gold certification in Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Norway and platinum certification in Denmark, going 3x platinum in Australia and 5x platinum in Sweden.[3]

Release and chart performance

"Cheerleader" was originally released in 2012 through Oufah Records, charting solely in OMI's native country.[5] The Felix Jaehn remix of "Cheerleader" was initially planned to be released in Britain in May 2015. However, its release date was brought forward to a new date of 12 April 2015. The decision was made as a result of the remix's popularity on streaming media and it entering the UK Singles Chart at number 37 on streams alone.[6]

In Britain, upon its official release, it jumped from number 27 to number two in the 20 April 2015 chart update, selling 129,257 copies, with 26,288 of those being streaming sales.[7] It hit the number one spot during its third week on sale, being fuelled by streaming sales which accounted for 35,324 of its total sales of 112,626 that week and stayed there for four weeks.[8] By 15 June 2015, it had sold a total of 994,000 copies in Britain including streaming.[9]

In the United States, "Cheerleader" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending July 18, 2015, replacing Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth which had spent 12 non-consecutive weeks atop the chart.[10] During that week, it sold 276,000 copies (The sales tracking period for that week was 11 days instead of the usual seven due to a chart policy change, so the sales of the song are higher than they would be in a typical seven-day period). This makes OMI the first Jamaican artist to top the chart since Sean Kingston in 2007, when his song, "Beautiful Girls" topped the chart. As of the chart week of July 25, 2015, "Cheerleader" has reached number three on the Streaming Songs chart, topped the Digital Songs chart for two weeks, and reached number six on the Radio Songs chart.

Music videos

With success in Jamaica, a music video was released by Oufah Music, a division of Shang Records. The music video, 2 minutes and 50 seconds long, was directed by Tim Cash.[11] This version has been viewed around 27,000 times on YouTube. It was filmed in Oregon, during OMI's first-ever trip to the United States.[12] Cash also filmed two of OMI's local hits in Jamaica titled "Standing on All Threes"[13] and "Fireworks".[14]

With the European success of the song in 2014 as remixed by Felix Jaehn, the initial Jamaican music video filmed by Tim Cash was adapted for the new arrangement. This particular version has attained more than 184 million views on YouTube as July 2015.[15]

With plans for wide release in the United States and United Kingdom, a new music video was launched on April 19, 2015[16] directed by Lenny Bass.[3] This version has attained more than 64 million views in its own right until July 2015.[17]
