Chart Rewind: In 2014, Canadian Band Magic! Took 'Rude' To No. 1 on the Hot 100

Led by songwriter Nasri Atweh, who had already penned hits for Justin Bieber, the Canadian reggae fusion band topped the Billboard Hot 100 with their debut single, a rare feat.

On July 26, 2014, a Canadian band pulled off impressive chart magic: hitting No. 1 in the U.S. with their debut single.

"Rude" by reggae fusion band Magic! was released in early 2014, as the lead single off their first album, Don't Kill The Magic.
