Iration explodes on Billboard chart

Time Bomb, the 13-track sophomore set by California reggae band Iration, re-enters the Billboard Reggae Albums chart at 10.

Released in 2010, Time Bomb debuted at number one in its first chart run and is among four chart-toppers for the band.

According to Luminate, formerly MRC Data, Time Bomb has sold more than 40,000 copies since its release.

Still on the reggae table, Bob Marley and The Wailers clock 127 weeks at number one with Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers.

Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy continues to hover at the number two spot, while World on Fire by Stick Figure is firm at three.

UB40’s Greatest Hits remains at four, while Set in Stone by Stick Figure is at five.

Sean Paul continues to have good times on the chart as Dutty Classics Collection, Dutty Rock, and Mad Love: The Prequel are six, seven, and nine, respectively.

Koffee’s Gifted rises from 10 to eight.

Let’s now take a look at what’s happening on regional charts. On the Foundation Radio Network (New York) music chart, Nothing Can Justify by Khalia is new at 30, so too is Jodian Pantry’s When I’m Back on My Feet Again at 29.

Jah Shall Wipe Away All Tears by Carlene Davis is new at 28, while Diamonds in the Sun by Tanya Stephens, Cedella Marley, and Diana King rises from 11 to five.

The number one spot is occupied by Mi Nuh Know by Shaggy.

Over at the South Florida Reggae chart, veteran singer Glen Washington returns at 25 with Baby Don’t Do it (Now I Know), while So I Can Love You by Novel-T darts from nine to five.

Sweet Vibration by Empress Uneek remains at number one.

Flashback

For this week’s flashback we journey to the year 2019. And on June 15 three years ago, the number one album on the Billboard reggae albums chart was Shapes of a Soul by Roots of Rebellion.

Rainford by Lee “Scratch” Perry was two, while Rapture by Koffee was number three. Free Reign by Rebelution held the number four position, while 44/876 by Sting and Shaggy was at eight.
