Spice ‘Emancipated’ on Billboard chart

SPICE leads the pack for female dancehall artistes with most charted entries on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart. Emancipated, released August 26 via Stealth Music/Spice Official ENT, debuts this week at number seven.

It sold 1,500 in album equivalent units according to Luminate, which reports streaming and sales data to Billboard Magazine.

Emancipated is Spice’s fourth entry on the reggae table. Her previous efforts were So Mi Like It (EP) which stalled at number 14 in 2014, Captured, a mixtape which topped the chart in 2018, and last year’s 10, which peaked at number six.

Etana has the most charted entries for a Jamaican female singer on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart. She has, to date, produced five titles — The Strong One (number 12 in 2008), Free Expressions (number 11 in 2011), Better Tomorrow (number nine in 2013), I Rise (number one in 2014), and Reggae Forever (number one in 2018).

Tanya Stephens, Patra, Marcia Griffiths, Queen Ifrica, Diana King, and Koffee each have two albums on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, while Rita Marley, Vanessa Bling, and Chevelle Franklyn have one.

On this week’s Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, Bob Marley and The Wailers continue their remarkable streak with Legend clocking 139 weeks at number one.

Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy continues to hold the number two spot, while Sean Paul’s Dutty Classics Collection is at three.

UB40’s Greatest Hits is at number four, World on Fire and Set in Stone by Stick Figure are five and six, respectively, while Anthology by Musical Youth slips to eight.

Koffee’s Gifted dips to number nine and Outside by Burna Boy re-enters the chart at 10. This 2018 release peaked at number three.

On the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, Queen Radio: Volume 1, a compilation by rapper Nicki Minaj containing the new track Likkle Miss (remix) with dancehall artiste Skeng, debuts at number 10 with first-week sales of 32,000 in equivalent album units.

On the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs Chart, Toni Ann Singh by Burna Boy featuring Popcaan continues to slide, from 28 to 36.

Over in the Cayman Islands, Hot 104.1 FM reports that its Top five songs this week are Last Last by Burna Boy, Dark Room by Shane O, Sugar Cake by Patrice Roberts, London by Skeng, and Gal Thief by 450.

Reverse The Curse by Richie Stephens takes over the number one spot on the South Florida Reggae Chart. Peace of Mind is A Holiday by G Cole steps up from 16 to 14, while Playing Money Games by Terry Linen moves from 21 to 17.

Zanadu’s I Care About You is the new number one on the Foundation Radio Network (New York) Reggae Chart. Groovin by Winston Francis zips from 14 to 11, while Butter Bread by Mykal Rose advances from 23 to 19.

Fifty by Tanya Stephens and Patra is at number 28.
