First, his single “Buy U A Drink (Shawty Snappin’)” peaked at number one on the Billboard singles chart and has dominated the R&B charts for the past 4 weeks. Then last week T-Pain beat Rihanna last week to have the number 1 album, Epiphany, in the country selling 171,000 copies.

That’s not all folks, his second single from Ephiphany, “Bartender” (featuring Akon), is already number 22 on the Hot 100 Billboard Charts. T-Pain’s croon can also be heard on the remix of Unk’s “2 Step,” the remix of DJ Khaled’s “We Takin’ Over,” and of course R. Kelly’s newest hit “I’m a Flirt” (T-Pain even speaks a little Spanish on the track).

ALSO… He’s featured on Bow Wow’s newest single “Outta My System,” Birdman & Lil Wayne’s new song “Know What I’m Doin’,” the track “Baby Don’t Go” which is rumored to be Fabolous’s next single off his new album, the first single from new Florida-rapper Plies titled “Shawty,” and the newest single by Baby Bash, “Cyclone.”

I’ve been a fan of T-Pain ever since he dropped his first hit “I’m Sprung” (it remains in heavy rotation to this day), and he made everyone question the relationships that had with their favorite stripper in his second hit “I’m In Love With A Stripper.”

The man is talented, but we’re on our way into going into T-Pain overload! My advice is to get used to it, with 10 songs currently on the radio I don’t think any of us will be able to escape the Pain anytime soon.
