BUSY Signal has entered European pop charts with Watch Out For  This (Bumaye), a song he did with American producers Major Lazer.

The dancehall/electronic track is taken from Major Lazer’s album,  Free The Universe, which was released on April 16.

According to Billboard, Watch Out For This (Bumaye) is currently  number four in France, five in Belgium and 42 in Switzerland. It is number six  in New Zealand.

This is the first European pop hit for Busy Signal who made the  Billboard R&B Hip Hop Singles chart in 2006 with Step Out which peaked at  57.

Last year, the deejay appeared on ska/punk group No Doubt’s hit  song, Push and Shove. That track was also produced by Major Lazer.

“Working with Major Lazer was a joy, but I never anticipated the  song would have taken off the way that it has,” Busy Signal told the Sunday  Observer.

Major Lazer has worked with a number of Jamaican artistes. Their  2009 album, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, contains collaborations with Mr  Lex, Mr Vegas, Ms Thing, Jovi Rockwell, Future Fambo, Leftside, Turbulence, TOK,  Einstein, Vybz Kartel and Supa Hype.

Their current album features Vybz Kartel, Razz and Biggy,  Leftside, Elephant Man, Timberlee, Bugle, Shaggy, Johnny Osbourne and dancer  Mystic.

Major Lazer has also done remixes for Gyptian’s Hold Yuh,  Popcaan’s Party Shot, and Gal A Bubble by Konshens.
