The Reggae Gold 2020 compilation also makes a big move, from number 28 to nine while another artistes-laden set, Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica: The Reggae Collector’s Edition,  is number 10. To date, it has sold 2,254 copies.

On the streaming-driven Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, Legend by Bob Marley and The Wailers is number one for a 45th week.

Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy holds firm at number two, while Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul is number three.
