The project entered the all genres US Top album chart at no.14, charted in 89 countries on apple music, and was #1 in 13 countries on iTunes. A big deal is that the artiste is now independent and could outdo her debut album, which was released under her former label VP Records last year. The album has gotten positive reviews from scores of fans and is said to be one of her best works. “Pop Off”, “Crop Top”, and “Same Mouth” appears to be the favourites from the project and show the artiste’s versatility and ability to deliver a different sound.

The album came in at no.7 on the Billboard Reggae Album chart. Spice is one of only a handful of Jamaican female artistes to earn the #1 reggae album on Billboard. In 2018 Spice became the first in 25 years to top the chart since Diana King, when her Mixtape “Captured” entered the chart and moved Bob
Marley a spot down and spent for a total of 3 weeks. According to an article released by the Jamaica Observer on September 9th, 2022, Emancipated’s entry on the chart makes Spice the female dancehall artist with the most charted entries on the chart.
