These are the Top 10 Reggae Albums Right Now: Billboard
Reggae legends Bob Marley and The Wailers continue their long reign on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart, with Queen of the Dancehall Spice standing as the only new Dancehall entry in the top ten.
Bob Marley and the Wailers’ post-humus album Legend, which was originally released in 1984, is currently #1. Also occupying top spots on Billboard’s Top Reggae Albums are collections by Dancehall veterans Sean Paul and Shaggy, with Sean Paul’s Dutty Classics Collection, released in 2017, and Shaggy’s Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection, released in 2008, taking the #2 and #3 spots, respectively.
American Reggae group Stick Figure currently holds three different spots on the top 10 chart, with their albums World On Fire, Set In Stone, and Wisdom at No. 4, 5, and 6. Spice’s latest album Mirror 25, which stands out as the only new Dancehall offering, takes #7, with Reggae band UB45’s album UB45 and their Greatest Hits Compilation at #8 and #10.
Rebelution’s Courage to Grow takes #9.
Spice’s album Mirror 25, which is the third studio album for the artiste, made its debut on the chart earlier this week. Its debut on the Billboard chart follows its release earlier this month on August 9.
Mirror 25 joins the So Mi Like It deejay’s growing list of Dancehall projects that have made it on the American music chart. Spice’s list of projects that have made it on the Billboard chart so far are her Grammy-nominated debut album 10, which peaked at #6 during its time on the chart, Emancipated, which peaked at #7, So Mi Like It at #14, and Captured, which claimed #1.
The 26-track project was released via Spice Official Entertainment by the independent artiste who has been managing her music career solo for several years.
A celebration of the Queen of Dancehall’s 25 years in music, Mirror 25 features both local and international artistes, with Spice appearing alongside Jada Kingdom and Pamputtae, Busta Ryhmes, Chronic Law, and Lola Brooke, on the tracks Super Hero, Round Round, Cry, and Gangster, respectively.
Amid excitement for her latest project, Spice recently made history as the first Jamaican female artiste to open at #2 in the United States and United Kingdom on the All Genres Top Albums chart on iTunes.
