What About Us by The Saturdays, featuring Sean Paul, has topped the iTunes United Kingdom (UK) chart last week. Sean Paul chants on the UK-based girl group's first number-one single.

The success of What About Us earned Sean Paul a slot on the edgy Allan Carr Show in London on Wednesday.

The television series has featured high-profile celebrities, including actor Samuel L. Jackson, the Black Eyed Peas, Bette Midler, and Australian cricketer Shane Warne.

Jessica Sager, writing for the PopCrush website, had high praise for Sean Paul's work on the dance number.

The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning toaster has stepped out on a number of hit tracks, including the blockbuster hit, Baby Boy, by Beyoncé.

The artiste seems to have a penchant for collaborating successfully with the ladies of pop, having teamed up with Estelle, Kelly Rowland, Blu Chantrelle, Alexis Jordan, and Joss Stone. Locally, he has tracks with Ce'Cile and Tami Chynn.

Interestingly, Sean Paul also teamed up with another artiste, who seems to do well with cross-gender collaborations.

Beenie Man and Sean Paul recently released Greatest Gallis just ahead of the latter's preparation to hit the road in April to support his fifth studio album, Tomahawk Technique.

The British Council, in partnership with The Institute of Caribbean Studies, University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, and Visual and Performing Arts Jamaica are presenting a two-day creative industries seminar under the theme 'Exporting Creativity' on Monday and Tuesday at the Knutsford Court Hotel from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Is your creative product ready for the international market? How do you export your creative product from Jamaica? This seminar will highlight opportunities in overseas markets and also equip creative producers with the knowledge on how to efficiently export their goods and services.

The discussion session is open to all creative industry practitioners or producers and new and emerging creative industry entrants.

University students who have an interest in the creative industries are especially invited to participate. Presenters will include key players, such as representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Jamaica Customs, and JAMPRO, along with creative industry consultants from the UK, Ziggi Golding, and Neil Robinson, who both have tremendous experience in tapping into international markets and mega-events such as the Olympics and World Cup Football. Admission is free.
