Six years since its official premiere in 2012, Simple Plan’s music video for ‘Summer Paradise’ (feat. Sean Paul) finally reached 100 million views on YouTube, making it the very first music video by this band to reach this huge milestone. The video was directed by Simple Plan’s long-time collaborator Mark Staubach and Randall RT! Throne in Barbados back in March 2012.
And it isn’t just the video itself that has become so popular! The song, which is featured on Simple Plan’s fourth studio album ‘Get Your Heart On!’, has become one of Simple Plan’s most popular songs to date – especially in Canada, Europe and Australia. The song is currently certified triple platinum in Canada, double platinum in Australia, platinum in Switzerland, Denmark and Italy and gold in Germany and Austria.
Due to its popularity, many versions of this song have been released over the years, such as feat. MKTO, K’Naan, Taka from One OK Rock, a couple of French versions and many others.
